The difference? It’s that he HD Radio Alliance claims there are 1,500 HD stations, but the FCC has only 1,300 licenses on file. The bad news.

While HD Radio may sound great and while there at least 1,300 stations broadcasting HD Radio, you can’t hear them. That is, not unless you purchase an HD radio. And HD radios tend to be expensive. There is only one, inexpensive, entry-level tabletop available, the Radiosophy HD100 at $99.95. The next step up is RadioShack’s Accurian HD Radio, which usually sells for about $199 and a Sony unit at $199.95. Beyond that, there is the Sangean HDR-1 with a manufacturer’s suggested retail of $249, and then it’s pretty much into the stratosphere of $300-plus.

- The ugliest part of th HD2 channels is that the programming –at least so far – is hardly good enough or creative enough to warrant buying a HD radio.
- What makes it ugly is that the broadcaster could be using HD2 channels to do something really exciting as broadcasters have in Great Britain, where digital radio has just skyrocketed. Unfortunately, here in the U.S., most broadcasters have chosen to use their HD2 channels as just “variations on a theme,” or variations of their regular programming (see rock station example, above).
