What is Wrong With HD Radio & Why Aren't HD Tuners Being Made?


I have HD radio in my car and I like some of the sub-stations that I am able to pick up. I would like to listen to radio in my house, but audio manufacturers aren't making HD capable tuners. Isn't it suppose to sound better?

Why don't people like HD radio? I'm in the market for a good tuner and I'm confused as to what I should be looking for in a modern tuner.

Please help me understand.

THANKS

Not sure if this is the same thing but Sony made a "Digital Radio" tuner box  ( http://wd4eui.com/Sony_XDR_F1HD.html) in the early-to-mid 2000s. Didn't build them very long (few years). Weren't expensive, less than $200 as I recall.

My 14 y/o Onkyo HT receiver has digital radio which I made use of in Las Vegas (very nice sound!). I haven't been able to make it work since I've been in Indianapolis, however.
