I note that the market flowed completely opposite when comparing hdtv to hd radio. When HDTV was coming down the pike the market was flooded with HDTV sets and receivers, yet programming was, and still is in my opinion, limited. But..... nearly every radio station in my city has converted to HD and nothing to listen to it on, unless, I want to buy a darn $299.00 Boston Acoustic table radio. And HD or not $299.00 is a bit expensive for an alarm clock radio. I am noticing on Crutchfield they say some car stereo are compatible but I haven't looked at them close since I'm not in the market for a car radio. I consider a new tuner or a HD walkman. Where do we listen to radio in, cars, backyard. work etc. I said walkman because I use public transit and not into downloading yet. Who's bright idea was it to put the first HD radios in an alarm clock?

I guess manufacturers were wanting to tap that cash cow, HDTV, quick. I mean I'd rather sell HDTV's at originally, probably, $4k to $20k compared to $300.00 radios or tuners, so I can't blame them.

Billy's next word problem, how many BA HD radios would you have to sell to equal one Panasonic Plasma?

One common thread between the two is the consumer is forced to have patience.

What gives here? The market usually dont' miss a chance to make a buck, why isn't there any HD hardware available?
