I agree, but I don't know if or when we'll see such a radio. The
problem is they have to put in the same decoder chip as it has to pull
out the audio. Isn't digital wonderful? Not!!! They've gone to
digital on the chopppers here in Vegas for traffic reporting and you
wouldn't believe the dropouts they get.

Guys. Just something simple. What I have now, is an old tv radio that's 35
years old. One for a night stand. I just wish they would come out with one
that is digital. That's all. The only jack on this thing I have is an
earphone jack. I don't want one for the stereo, or the computer1 Just
something real simple to have in my bedroom.

Hi Sandra,
You can use the sound output of any converter which you find accessible, and
feed it into any amplifier (such as a home stereo). this means that any
converter at all is in effect a digital tv radio.
there was one, being sold in the UK so I don't know about it's availability
here in the states, which was designed for those with low or no vision. it had
special buttons to activate the SAP audio for instance, so that you didn't have
to work your way through menus.
I think it was the TVonics mdr-250; it was the subject of a recent email from
one of those news clip services reporting items of interest to the VI community.
it's true it's not also an fm radio, but it is an answer to this problem.
hth,
Chip

Hi all. With d tv around the corner again, we still don't know of
any radios with digitasl auto for the tv stations?
I know on june 12th my little analog will go silent. I'll only be
able to get the radio, not the audio to the tv stations. And it's
tol old to hook a converter to it.

Subject: Adding a.m.
Hi all,
I think adding a.m. radio with f.m. would be a good idea.
Might as well get it right the first time. A.m. radio has a lot to
offer and especially with talk radio. Thanks for reading this.
