The [local NPR station](http://wamu.org) I listen to most now has two additional HD channels. I’ve read up about HD radio, I know what it is, how it works, and all that. What I want to know is if you have it, like it, hate it. ---

I don’t have HD radio and I’ll be interested in the responses of this thread. Honestly, I’m still not too sure that it really exists. ---

Our two nearby NPR stations (WBST and WFYI) broadcast in HD. One of my house radios is going El Fucko, so I had Mrs. Nott look up HD radios. Apparently, you can get a shower HD radio from NPR, and you can get The World’s Most Expensive Clock Radio in HD. So, it seems to be a technology _Ahead Of Its Time._ Sometimes that’s a good thing, and sometimes it isn’t. Imagine being the gal who built the 1920s Style Death Ray in 1917! :eek:
