Default HD-R/QVC Fiasco Thread Deleted By Radio-Info

"HD-R/QVC Fiasco Thread Deleted By Radio-Info"

"Did anybody here listen to Radio Racket last night? They reported on
QVC's September 'HD Radio' fiasco. Total sales were only $30,000! They
said there were three different receivers t different prices, but
assuming the cheapest was $300, and that all of them were the cheapest
one, that would be only 200 units sold. QVC had to buy these turkeys,
so the loss is theirs. They're going to try to sell the others in
segments where they bunch a lot of items, instead of showcasing 'HD'
again. After all, why would they/ a real dud. And QVC has no plans to
ask any 'HD' advocates back for another appearance."
