104.1 No HD?

Last month I purchased a great little HD receiver, the Sony XDR-F1HD. From New Britain with the enclosed FM dipole antenna, I can get the following in HD.

WWYZ 92.5
WZMX 93.7
WKSS 95.7
WTIC-FM 96.5
WPLR 99.1
WRCH 100.5
WKCI 101.3
WDRC-FM 102.9
WHCN 105.9
WCCC-FM 106.9
WTIC-AM 1080

The following stations I get a detected HD signal, but they rarely lock in:

WFCR 88.5
WHYN-FM 93.1
WPKX 97.9
WDZK 1550

WURH 104.1 did have their HD on for the last couple weeks, but they don't have it on now. Their HD sounded muddier than their analog signal. The HD-2 sounded great with a classic alternative format.

This Sony is very sensitive. I listen regularly to WVEI 105.5 for Red Sox and Celtics play-by-play.
 
Same results here in Meriden, using the Accurian receiver, except I don't get anything from any of the Springfield-area stations but do get a usable signal most of the time from WEBE 107.9.

I wonder how many people outside this board actually have an HD receiver?

One that I know of. He bought it to hear Hartford Wolf Pack and New Britain Rock Cats games.

So he's the guy?
 
I have one, I bought it (an Insignia) around late December last year, and yes, I am finally getting 104.1 in HD, I couldn't before, not getting HD2 though.

Actually, it's been a while since I did my last band scan and I have a second antenna config which is totally different now, time for a new one.

The following stations came in Analog only on antenna config 2 (mainly used to get WGBY DT on the TV which shares this config)

WESU|WFCR|WJMJ|WRTC|WQTQ|WAMC|WPKT|WSHU|WWUH-RDS|WHUS|91.9*|
WWYZ|WHYN|93.3*|WZMX|WYBC|WMAS|WSRS|WEHN|WZBG|WPKX|WILI|
WNLC|WPLR|99.7???|WEZN|WKNL|WKCI|WAQY-RDS|WDRC-RDS|WEEI|WIHS|WVEI|
WFCS|WEBE

The following stations came in Digital

WKSS HD1&2|WTIC HD1&2|WRCH HD1&2|WURH HD1|WHCN HD1&2|WCCC HD1&2

I'm not happy with this, I had better HD signals with config 1, at least I can switch back and forth in less than 1 minute, time for a bandscan with config 1

analog

WESU|WFCR|WNHU|WJMJ|WRTC|WPKN|WAMC|WPKT|WSHU|WWUH RDS|WHUS|91.9 *|WHYN|93.3 *|WYBC|WERB|WMAS|

WWYZ HD1&2|WZMX HD1&2|WKSS HD1&2|WTIC HD1&2|WPLR HD1|WRCH HD1&2|
WKCI HD1&2|WDRC HD1&2|WURH HD1|WHCN HD1&2|WCCC HD1&2|

Oddly enough, I used to get WFCR HD1&2, WTCC & WLNG with this config.

no WURH HD2?
