Steve,

I've had two HD radios for about a month now, and from what I've seen, you 
need a pretty noise-free signal to make it work reliably, and that's 
especially true for AM where, ironically, there's more noise.  On FM, it 
works quite well with my tuner, but that's because I have a 9-element beam 
up on the roof.  If I didn't have that antenna, digital radio would hardly 
be worth considering because I'd have a hard time even with many local 
stations.  Let's face it, you can't get away from the noise unless the 
antenna is outside, and noise is the enemy here.
