Is HD Radio on its last leg?
I was just shopping for my 5th HD tuner, and it looks like both the excellent Sony XDR-F1HD as well as the Sangean HDT-1 and HDT-1X are no longer in production!
In fact, for home audio, it looks like there is only one standalone HD tuner still being made: the massively expensive Day-Sequerra M4 series.
This is too bad, since it looks like virtually all manufacturers have dropped HD in favor of some combination of Internet and/or SiriusXM.
I wonder how long it will be before my local NPR affiliate, the only source of jazz in my small market, stops broadcasting on its .2 channel.
