HD consegue apoio dos retalhistas

Talvez o facto da transmissão em HD exigir novos receptores, desses receptores serem raros e caros, seja o seu maior problema na actualidade.

Este desenvolvimento acaba por ser relevante: «retailers are now jumping on board. Early this morning, retailers Tweeter, Crutchfield and ABC Warehouse Detroit announced that they would be selling a crop of HD-compatible receivers. Starting today, the receivers will be available in more than 100 stores in over 30 markets across the United States. "Consumer demand for HD digital radio receivers has increased significantly over the past few months as consumers see the incredible value that HD radio offers," said Peter Ferrara, president and CEO of the HD Digital Radio Alliance».
