[QUOTE=&quot;DTVuser2009, post: 26886, member: 2003&quot;]Sorry to break it to you, but there is no such thing as High Def radio. stations have been marketing 'HD Radio' and there are radios sold as 'HD-ready' but unlike HDTV, there's no such thing. any old analog FM/AM radio can pick up those 'HD signals' the stations use during their Idents...It's a marketing gimmick. it means nothing. it's like a 'DTV antenna' there's no such thing. just a way to gouge the public on an overpriced but still FM radio. people will automatically assume 'HD' means 'High Definition' and that's why it's marketed. has anyone ever noticed how they use the initials instead of&nbsp; the real meaning of the letters? it's not High Def but something else. all an 'HD' radio does is show the name of the artist/song on an FM band in a way similar to what a satellite radio does.But if you're looking for a radio with commercial free music, or extra stations, a satellite radio is the way to go. the monthly fee is well worth it IMO. an 'HD' radio still gets the same old stations any old radio does. you won't get digital 'extra's' or 'multicasting' as there is no such thing as High Definition radio.[/QUOTE]
