Pardon my earlier sarcastic reply but it's a jungle in here.

The home theatre system sounds better, I'm sure. But at almost a
thousand dollars, I don't think so, not yet anyway.

An HD FM component receiver plugs into any audio amplifier like in an
existing Home Theatre system.
about $200 http://www.sangean.com/product.php?model=HDT-1

"Rethinking AM's Future"

"Only 175 or so AM stations have even licensed AM-HD. For a number of
reasons, quite a few have tried it and taken it off the air, or so the
anecdotal evidence suggests. Ibiquity no longer reports in its public
summaries whether a station is on the air. Making AM-HD work well as a
long-term investment is seen as an expensive and risky challenge for
most stations and their owners. With the bulk of successful AMs airing
news, talk and sports, the improved fidelity advantage of HD and
stereo seem only marginally attractive. There is the significant
downside of potential new interference to some of their own AM analog
listeners as well as listeners of adjacent-channel stations. And of
course we still have no nighttime authority for AM-HD."

Existing RDS has the same texting functions, as HD/IBOC. For now, HD
Radio/IBOC is dead.

"Meet your new competition"

"And demand for all Internet services - not simply audio - will drive
product development, marketing, and sales. In other words, the
platform will not have to be sold. It will just have to be bought. And
that's a key distinction differentiating these services from satellite
and HD radio - both of which need both selling and buying. And right
now there's a whole lot of the former going on and not enough of the
latter. By necessity, satellite is already branching into video and
WiFi solutions while HD radio is still trying to emerge from its
shell."

What you are attempting to do, is exactly what is wrong with HD
Radio.

Here's a question. *Why would anyone in their right mind spend over
two hundred dollars for a small table radio who's sound quality is
marginal at best?

How do you know it's "marginal at best"? *Do you own a HD radio?
Which one?

On another note how can you appreciate the quality
of HD radio with such an inadequate reproduction system?

My home theatre system does not have dual alarm clocks let alone a clock.
Besides, I can't fit a home theatre stereo on my night table, can you?

The Boston
Acoustics radio is not bad, I've heard worse, but still it's so
limited.

Got headphones? *Try a pair of Grado's with your(?) B.A. Receptor - supurb!

This makes as much sense as receiving HDTV programming on a
1980's Sanyo television. *It loses something in the translation, so to
speak.

Then get a FM HD componant receiver for your Home Theatre system.http://www.HDRadio.com
