Or, just for fun, visit any number of K-Mart, Wal_Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City and other stores which sell lots of home entertainment equipment and ask if they have any HD radios. Or HD tuners. And see what kinds of looks, comments, and other non-answers you get. The salespeople don't know what they are, don't know if they ever had them in stock, but they certainly don't now.
They're not going to sell many radios taht way -- and they haven't... and won't...
