Not that I would have bought one for Christmas. My Model One is working just fine (with external antennas) for me. No price was ever announced, but I figure that the estimated MSRP was creeping over $300, which was probably one motivation to shelve it indefinitely. If I had a spare $300+ to spend on new audio equipment, I would probably get a Roku Soundbridge R1000 instead: http://www.amazon.com/Roku-SoundBrid...3239721&sr=8-6 as there would probably be a much wider selection of programming. - -- Paul W.

Schleck http://www.novia.net/~pschleck/ Finger for PGP Public Key Found this on the Tivoli Audio website. Go to the FAQ on the B-Goods Outlet page, under "General": 7. Why hasn’t Tivoli Audio manufactured an HD radio? There are several obstacles that must be overcome before we can bring a Tivoli Audio HD radio to market. The first is cost. Until this technology becomes less expensive, it is not possible to manufacture an HD radio that is economical for our customers. Secondly, but just as important, is sound quality. The HD broadcast fidelity varies greatly from station to station and often leaves much to be desired, despite what you may read in the press. Once manufacturing costs come down and the sound quality is what you have become accustomed to hearing from a Tivoli Audio radio, we will manufacture a Tivoli HD radio. Until then, you can continue to enjoy high fidelity sound from any one of our fine analog radios. Our radios will not be obsolete anytime soon. |

Mike Consumers are not interested in HD Radio: http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22hd...+xm%2C+podcast http://www.alexaholic.com/ibiquity.c...dioalliance.co... Hey gang don't forget, it's RADIO. I don't know how to break the bad news to you all but about sixty years ago a new revolution came to town called TELEVISION and people haven't been paying allot of attention to the radio as they used to. It's good for what it has to offer, but it's not going to revolutionalize the industry or change our listening habits. It's just going to make our experiences now better. Hey shillers, pfffttttt 2u. |

HD radios not selling - HD shills to the rescue ! Your graph DOES NOT show that HD radios are not selling. They have nothing to do with sales - only google web hits. Do you even bother to read the links before posting? A meaningful graph would compare the number of listeners to free broadcast (AM & FM) to XM, Sirius and HD radio. Guess what - the curves for the last three would be all but flattened by the curve for free broadcast (AM&FM). |

I don't know how to break the bad news to you all but about sixty years ago a new revolution came to town called TELEVISION and people haven't been paying allot of attention to the radio as they used to. It's funny you should mention that... Before the TV freeze was lifted, radio listening per capita was about 21 hours a week. By 1970, when virtually every home had at least one TV set, radio listening was.... 21 hours a week. Today, after all the innovations starting with the 8-Trak, the cassettes, CATV, CDs, the Internet, video games, computers, iPods and satellite to name a few... average listening per person is 19 hours. |

The HD broadcast fidelity varies greatly from station to station and often leaves much to be desired, despite what you may read in the press. Maybe Ibiquity should have Al Gore as their spokesperson. Then he could profess a belief that HD sounds better than analog. Once manufacturing costs come down and the sound quality is what you have become accustomed to hearing from a Tivoli Audio radio, we will manufacture a Tivoli HD radio. Until then, you can continue to enjoy high fidelity sound from any one of our fine analog radios. Our radios will not be obsolete anytime soon. Again HD can not sound better using the same bandwidth. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
