I know this is beating a dead horse, but to all on the list and especially
Mr. Bergman of Kenwood--

Where can I buy a HD system capable of multicast reception?

Fry's doesn't have the mulitcast capable tuner

Crutchfield has the HR-100MC which according to press releases is
discontinued (or soon will be)

Best Buy has receivers, no HD tuners


We called a local Kenwood distributor--they don't have any HD tuners,
haven't sold any, can't find them in the catalog, and therefore are unable
to order one (BTW, HR-100 series HD tuners ARE NOT in the 2005 online
Kenwood car audio catalog)

So how am I going to set up and monitor the HD signal when I turn it on?
(and that's another long story of undeliverable product)

It seems to me that both Ibiquity and the receiver manufacturers (even
Kenwood) have dropped the ball.  IF DEALERS CAN'T FIND INFORMATION ON
PRODUCT, HOW DO YOU MANUFACTURERS EXPECT TO SELL IT???????

So here is what I need--a radio and HD multicast capable tuner to set up
delay on, and monitor my HD signal.  A car radio set up in a box with a 12v
power supply is ok, a tabletop is ok, a professional grade modulation
monitor would be even better (Belar isn't shipping yet either)
