This is also apparently the best mass-produced FM broadcast analog receiver there is, by an order of magnitude.
pure crap. most new receivers offer HD radio. This is added clutter.
Somewhere a village has allowed their rodeo cowboy to use the OLPC again.
Not pure crap. This is just one of many reviews hailing this tuner:
http://ham-radio.com/k6sti/xdr-f1hd.htm
I just bought one from Etronics. With the $50 rebate and a $25 ebill me rebate, it comes to $27.88. I had to add a $1.77 item to get over $100 for the ebill me rebate.
This is a nice tuner - want HD radio but don't want a new receiver yet - this is a good buy.
On a side note - I just came back from Denon's website (some of the folks might have heard of them), and only 3 of 19 of the receivers they currently offer have an HD radio built in - I would say they are not widely available in all receivers yet. I wish I knew why - If i am going to spend $1,600 on a receiver (Say, a [AVR-3808CI]) it had better have an HD tuner...
I have this receiver and its fine. For $50 you cant go too wrong. I use it with TuneStudio from Belking to dub from HD Radio mix stations.
HD tuners aren't widely available for several reasons. First and foremost they're not being subsidized in the way that satellite radios were. This means that it is and has taken time for costs to come down. Second, is that the chip that allows HD has been quite power hungry, this is why you don't see many, if any, portable HD radios yet. The power requirements are getting better. Third, is that the format hasn't fully developed yet. Radios bought just a few years ago, can't receive the multi-cast stations that is basically standard today. Radios bought just a few months ago and even now, don't support iTunes tagging that some do today and many broadcast stations don't yet support it. Almost all radios don't support Conditional Access that will be the next big HD radio thing released that will allow "pay per view" and "subscription" type programming.
Right now the format is evolving too quickly for manufacturers to go all in spending the development cost and marketing costs to make every or most of their models HD. Once the evolution slows down, and manufacturers can produce the same or similar radio for some time to come, they'll get on board. Right now, it's a "geeky luxury" item or maybe a niche market that they're trying to dabble in.
HD radio is not for audiophiles its for retards.
Whats up with the "TEXT 'UPGRADE' to 34343" requirement?!
haha...hd radio....
listen to commercials in hd.
sirius ftw!
