Re: [CGUYS] The Other Digital: Radio

Constance, I looked at this when I needed to replace my stereo receiver last summer because I depend on radio (no TV) for news, etc. I live in the boonies (western Loudoun) and gave up when I realized the coverage is not good and I am likely in a dead area for digital radio signals. Thank you, M

Re: [CGUYS] The Other Digital: Radio

Read the sentence again: the audio is still analog, but there is a digital data stream along with it that is used for station ID/playlist/etc. information. This is different from digital TV, where the entire signal is digital. That's why it's an in band system, the portion of the signal that a

I have the Logitech Squeezebox Boom while a friend of mine has the Pandora Radio by Livio. These sets are quite appropriate for news and talk programs from the likes of NPR, PRI, and BBC. Their audio fidelity is quite acceptable for tabletop radio. Just about any broadcast radio station you'd fancy

Re: [CGUYS] The Other Digital: Radio

I think you are under a misunderstanding. HD radio is NOT "digital". It is a proprietary format analog signal with a digital adjunct. See: Both IBOC signals are truly digital although on AM, it's a Hybrid Digital system. Please note that your quoted so

Re: [CGUYS] The Other Digital: Radio

WHAT I DON'T KNOW is whether the signal is actually usable in large parts of the National Capitol area, which is why I asked this question. I sort of figured that the signal wasn't very good, or I would have heard of it; but it would be nice if it did work. Finding a working portable HD rad

The following is what I mean by digital radio, also called HD radio, from the WAMU website: "WAMU 88.5 provides digital channels as options for our listeners. "WAMU's Bluegrass Country is available in HD at 88.5-2 - it's a full- stereo, comprehensive, "real" radio station! You'll hear all you

[CGUYS] The Other Digital: Radio

With all this discussion of digital communication frameworks, real and potential, there's one medium that hasn't yet been mentioned: digital radio. I'd like to know what experience, if any, list members have had with digital radio. I've heard that digital radios have come down in price t
