Yeah, they have the Boston Acoustics HD radio and a car radio. Sure enough, but who cares? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=5336041 Boston Acoustics HD Radio in Platinum, RECEPTERHDPLAT $299.86 Item Description *The Recepter Radio HD is the first compact, high-performance stereo and digital HD radio table model that delivers brilliant clarity and high-fidelity sound.

Key Features & Benefits: *Groundbreaking HD digital technology *No subscription is needed to listen to HD radio technology with the sharpest, clearest reception and the best sound * *Satellite speaker *Compact satellite speaker lets you listen in true stereo sound * *Input for iPod and MP3 players *Play what you carry on your portable player on the Recepter Radio HD, and let the entire room hear your tracks * *Patented BassTrak circuitry *Delivers satisfying bass, even at low volumes, while eliminating distortion * *Mini remote control *A credit card-size remote control makes using the Recepter Radio HD easy from anywhere in the room * *20 station presets *Preset the Recepter Radio to your 20 favorite AM and FM talk and music stations * *Dual independent clock alarms *Every couple will appreciate having two independent alarm clocks that can be set at two different times for different schedules * No one cares: "In-Stat: Digital Radio Set to Take Off" "In 2006, 73 percent of respondents to an In-Stat U.S. consumer survey were aware of HD Radio on some level." http://beradio.com/eyeoniboc/instat-digital-radio-set/ "Sirius, XM, and HD: Consumer interest reality check" (Alexaholic) "While interest in satellite radio is diminishing, interest in HD shows no signs of a pulse." http://www.hear2.com/2007/02/sirius_....html#comments This just confirms, the lack of interest for HD Radio, on Google Trends: http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22hd... =all&date=all "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." http://www.rwonline.com/pages/s.0044/t.557.html Existing RDS has the same texting functions, as HD/IBOC. For now, HD Radio/IBOC is dead. |
