The new digital radio format will not be compatible with over-the-air broadcast radio. It is totally digital like DBS and Dish TV and will require a satellite dish or digital antennae to receive it as well as a digital radio. It is also a pay service like satellite TV. There are also no DJs. It is very similar to the music stations that you can get with digital cable boxes and satellite TV.
digital tuners
I am currently using a Rotel receiver RX-975 as my tuner but am considering upgrading. My system is Rogue 99/88 and Meadowlark Shearwater speakers.
With digital broadcasting on the horizon I'd like to buy a highly sensitive tuner that is in line with the rest of my system and that will be compatible with this digital format. I listen primarily to NPR and local college stations but would like to pick up stations in Boston and NYC if that is possible from Hartford(125 miles from either) I'd like to spend less than $1000. Any suggestions ? Thanks
