Title: Not as good as I imagined, but probably acceptable...
Product review: First about appearance, casing may be wood in the core but what you see/touch is a relatively cheap-looking faux wood lacquer. Secondly I tested the demo units at my local Circuit City & Best Buy, and now my personal unit here, all received strong analog FM but only three marginal HD channels. And in all cases, the white FM wire antennas were attached already. I am even trying it w/ the TERK indoor HD Radio antenna - which pulled in an additional ZERO HD channel. Avoid TERK antennas at all cost, tried one 20 years ago which didn't do jack & I got sucked into their scam one more time. If I can edit the star rating for this Sony HD Radio, I'll change it to 2 or 3 stars, but Amazon doesn't allow me to edit that. Only this text...UPDATE: Dec 21st, 2011. As more HD stations become available, this unit is ever more practical and appreciated. Bumped up the stars to 4 now.
