I went to Circuit City in Knoxville a couple of days ago
and got the "glazed over eyes" look when I asked about
the "HD Radio" that was advertised by Circuit City on
my car radio. They showed me a small cardboard box
with a Boston Acoustic Receptor Radio sitting on it.
The box looked like it had been pulled out of the garbage.
The radio had one speaker. The fellow said he had heard
something about "HD" but was in the dark. We went to
his computer and he pulled up the BA Receptor. Then
he said - with a big smile - "Oh yes. The one over there
doesn't have the HD attachment like the one in this photo."
The outboard speaker - not on display - was the
"HD attachment".
Went across the street to Best Buy and they were totally
in the dark about HD except that one fellow said he
thought maybe they would carry a car radio someday.
I am coming to the conclusion that these ads I have been
hearing (finally) are more wishful thinking than fact.
