Submission + - Pricey HD Radios Have Lousy Tuners
An anonymous reader writes: Did you plunk down a few hundred dollars for a new set to tap into all those HD Radio channels only to find you can barely tap into any HD content at all? That's what happened to MP3 Newswire when it tested three popular models — in signal-rich central New Jersey. Not only did these radios do a poor job at picking up digital content, their analog reception was so bad they were all outclassed by a cheap shower radio that was lying around. Then the reviewer threw an old 1940's tube radio into the mix for laughs and sure enough that 65 year-old piece of technology performed better (video clip included in article). Hey, if you're going to charge top dollar for these things at least throw some better parts in.
