HD Radio

[dacflyer]

I see that some cars have HD radio tuning capabilities.
Does anyone know if there is such a tuner/radio for home use ? I haven't been able to find anything..
I did find a stand alone streaming web radio. but not the same thing.

I'll check em out.. Looking for terrestrial HD, not satellite. I already have XM, And they aren't hitting on much lately.

The market for OTA radio at home is a shadow of what it once was with all the competition from streaming, I pretty much listen to it only in the car. I did find the new form factor for "Portable Car Radio" to be rather interesting and maybe due for an upgrade in my old car.

I might have to do some research and goto a junk yard and find a HD radio if i really want one. just have to figure out what cars / trucks have them.

Here's a website that I came across: https://hdradio.com/get-a-radio/car-radios/

They show what models of car have HD Radios.
Also, shows which model & make have HD.
Plus, Home Receivers and Portables.

"just have to figure out what cars / trucks have them."

With many of the newest cars having basically a tablet computer embedded in the dash, it's not abundantly clear if these can be installed in a different vehicle or if they would even work with the CAN bus disconnected. If you are lucky, you can identify some with traditional DIN sized head units in more basic cars. it's possible this is mainly in the "premium" sound options for cars.

A long time ago, a few years after HD radios went in cars, I was looking for HD radios of any kind at all. I found nothing. Years later, I found huge desktop HD radios, just a few.
Today, many years later, I just looked on amazon and I only found three models from Sangean and pretty much nobody else. And I mean not even overseas knock-offs.
Very strange. Or perhaps not. I think most young people now just listen to what they can easily find on the internet.
I am 500 years old and I don't even listen to my car radio anymore. I just use my tracking device...oops, I mean my phone. Home Internet is so fast these days that I can just build my own streaming server and then use my phone as a 'receiver'.

I've seen internet table top radios over in Europe, But haven't really found any around here..Probably could if i looked online..but nothing local to be found..
