Listening to HD Radio programs, worldwide, without the HD radio!

The torian link below is particularly interesting. :)Try these internet radios. They will pick up virtually all the HD Radio streams, plus over 15,000 other internet stations anywhere there is a wireless internet connection, without a computer or HD Radio. :eek:http://www.rokulabs.com/products/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/19/roku-soundbridge-radio/http://www.torian.com.au/http://www.ccrane.com/radios/internet-radios/acoustic-energy-wi-fi-internet-radio.aspxYou already have a computer, so virtually all the hundreds of HD Radio streams are available from the internet (see station websites and HD Radio listings). Plus many XM satellite stations, (via Winamp or AOL) 15,000 webstreaming stations, innumerable podcasts, and probably the Serius and other satellite stations (although I havent checked the net for Sirius yet).If you want HD stations around your house and yard, and don't have a laptop computer, just get a small FM stereo transmitter, connect it to the audio output of your desktop computer, and listen to them on any ( or all) of your FM radios. (No need for a whole new houseful of HD radios.)Here is an inexpensive FM stereo transmitter that goes in your computer and can transmit all around your property:http://www.progressive-concepts.com/info/item.html?id=288There are also small, inexpensive FM stereo transmitters from Belkin, CCrane, and dozens of others, that can do the same:http://www.ccrane.com/radios/fm-transmitters/fm-transmitter.aspxAs you can see, there is very little need for HD radios. Even with a car HD radio you can only get a few, local HD stations that come and go as you travel. Just record the webstreams and plug in your MP3 player or iPod, and perhaps use your portable car FM transmitter to enjoy your music anywhere you go.If you live in the "big house" and don't have WIFI, just use multiple FM transmitters (and frequencies), with an audio line between. You can legally cover a wide area that way.Most stations have repetative, limited playlists, so this way you can make your own custom playlists, and not have to put up with someone elses listening tastes, or any impending commercials. ;)
