HD Radio...anyone heard any in home tuners?

I am of the opinion that 'HD Radio" will be staying in automobiles. I have been tracking it for some time now and there is a growing consensus that internet broadband is the better source for digital music.

Sonos and Slimdevices(I own the Slimdevices Squeezebox as well as the Transformer) seem to dominate such internet server markets.

You can search the Audiogon archives on HD Radio. Oh, the name 'HD' stands for, I think 'Hybrid Definition'.

Hybrid Definition huh? Streaming audio is something that I am familiar with...I have thought about just streaming all of my local stations and not even worrying about getting any type of tuna (read tuna instead of tuner in some threads, interesting)...especially since the ones that I would really be interested in seem to cost a pretty penny and I could get a squeezebox for about the same cost.

Thanks for the input,
Ben

I would wonder how long there will be hidden stations, if they dont feel there is profit they will disapear, as of now it is a selling point.....but after a year or two I wouldnt be surprised if they are gone.

HD radio = Hybrid digital. About as good as XM or Sirius which means good enough for background listening but not good enough for us golden eared tweaks. They were sued in England over the name being misleading and lost. Now, a lawsuit is pending in the USA.

I agree with Unclejeff that HD radio, XM and Sirius should stay in the car. I can hear the compression and pumping even in the car.
