" How nice of you to logon to the board for the first time a mere minute ago and tell us of you HD review experience."

FIRST TIME?These boards tend to bring out the negative.I don't think it's just a hate for HD radio.There's just too many bad experiences.I think I'll wait a while before I purchase one.

Thanks for the info! I have been thinkin' about gettin' an HD radio, but after seeing these negative reviews maybe I'll just wait, or get it never! Sounds like it has much the same problem is the ridiculous HD Tv. I live 17 miles from Seattle, and out of like 20 available television signals, I can only get one with a strong enough signal to even show me a picture at all. The other stations are not receivable at all. What a crock!

Shame on you for trying to watch out-of-market signals. Your local TV stations only want you to watch them, not the big guys in Seattle.
Digital TV is NOT for dxers. If you insist on subverting the whole march to digital, you'll need a tower, rotor and yagi like other cheaters.

Seattle is not "out of market" for me. I live 17 miles from downtown, that's not out of market. They just wussified the signals, and the converter box wusses it down even more.
 
Of couse I'm kidding about being in market. Amazing that digital can't do the job at 17 miles isn't it?
It may get better after the channel hokey-pokey and the digital antennas get moved to better placement,
but you still better plan on that tower, rotor and yagi.
I still expect a major howl to erupt when 50% of over the air viewers have to go back the 50's with only 1 or 2 channels to choose from.

Unfortunately alot of apartment complexes, such as mine, don't allow you to put an antenna on the roof. I lived in some places 20 years ago that had a big antenna on the roof you could hook into if you chose not to get cable. Maybe with this disasterous digital tv nightmare some apartment communities may be forced to put an antenna on the roof, or allow tenants to put an antenna on their deck.
