HD Radio Recording In the US?

unreceivedpacket writes "The public radio stations I listen to have been advertising their conversion to HD Radio format for some time. They advertise multiple channels, their second channel playing all classical, all the time. I am interested in purchasing a receiver so I can listen to this extra content, and was also hoping to find a receiver with a built-in recorder so I could time-shift programs that are not otherwise available as legal pod-casts. My initial queries have returned few models that support any kind of digital recording, and the existing ones seem out of production or sorely lacking features. Is this the state of Digital Radio in the US? Are there any legal recording devices for HD Radio? Any good solutions for recording and time-shifting, perhaps through Linux?"

You might have missed the memo about Slashdot's new algorithm.
if (article.contains("Linux")) {
frontpage.add(article);

You do realize that the HD in HD Radio doesn't stand for high definition, right? (I think it means hybrid digital, but according to wikipedia, it doesn't mean anything.)

ah, so it's like the "HD Vision" sunglasses then : )

I've spent the last 50 years broadcasting pirate radio in gamma rays. Of course I don't have much of an audience, but at least the noisy neighbors stopped being so a long long time ago.

I think it stands for "Horribly Distorted".

The official religion of Slashdot is GNU, with the holy scripture known as "TFA", written in the archaic and obsolete language Perl. Although GNU is clearly a minority religion that will never find mainstream appeal, it has some of the most vocal and annoying evangelists to be found anywhere in the world. It is not uncommon for Open Source priests to be heard preaching the words of the prophets Stallman, Raymond, and Tux in the streets. An oft-heard chant, popular among the proselytizers and the general public to the point of becoming cliche, is "RTFA! Open source is the future! Free software for all! STFU, n00b!"

All citizens are required by Slashdottian civil and religious law to have Chapter F0, verses 8-A of TFA tattoed upon their back at the age of 13, which reads as follows:

0x0008. And lo, he must be new here,
0x0009. And it was ironic, for he had a low ID, and there was much rejoicing.
0x000A. And verily, did he say, in Soviet Russia, low IDs have YOU!
This excerpt is also found duped on most government buildings, and citizens are required to salute and sing O, Canada whenever they see it or any of the contained words in print.

Slashdot's national holiday is Fsck, predicted in the Book of Jobs (the fourth book in TFA) to be the day Bill Gates dies, and has never been celebrated yet, as there is no official set date. Other religious holidays include Anti-Christmas, National Wanking Sesssion Day and +1 Insightful.
