Does this receiver support over the air HD radio stations?

Although I returned the HK AVR, I have to say I really do not think it supports HD radio.

If your question is whether the over the air FM radio function will output over the digital output the answer would be no. You would need to connect the analog RCA outputs to your stereo system.

No, this is not an HD radio, it only receives analog AM and FM broadcasts. Sangean and most other radio manufacturers no longer make HD radios. It is digital in the sense of having a digital display and having digital signal processing (DSP), but not receiving digital HD broadcasts. Amazon's information on this product is lacking, more information can be obtained at http://www.sangean.com/products/product.asp?mid=149&cid=5.

I have a HD AM/FM tuner with a coax connector daisy chained at the very end of feeds from my antennas. Yes, the HD8200U will provide FM reception. I'm going to avoid saying "good" and rather say "Improved" over 300 ohm flat wire type that comes with a lot of units in the box.I have since upgraded to D8Be antenna with even better UHF performance and improved non-directional ability. Hope this helps.

The previous answer is not quite 100% correct. This unit does have an ANALOG tuner, which will no longer work with today's over-the-air digital high definition broadcasts. The tuner will work with basic, unencrypted, analog cable, but that's it.

Mine did not & it was not compatible with my hd receiver either. But it works great just not in hd.

No, in that there is no onboard AM/FM tuner to collect the signal from over the air. Yes, in that you may find the local station's available internet simulcast...or use the Grace 1/8 aux input to patchcord a standard AM/FM radio headphone output to the Grace chassis (to upgrade the sound speaker quality, I'd suppose).

Henry, my understanding is that the unit supports all Digital Audio formats but I have no tested that capability myself yet.

This unit receive Over the Air channels. You will need to connect a digital antenna to this unit, then connect this unit to your TV.

This is a tuner designed to receive over the air or QAM cable broadcast signals. There is no current broadcast signal that goes over 1080i or 720p and no tuner is able to deliver 1080p. Also, the connections on the back are only coax and s-vhs and neither can do 1080p

yes.your receiver must have HD and the use of a HDMI cable is also a must for the high gain

HD Radio is a separate input so only works if you specifically choose HD. the radio default to what ever you were listening to last

I use mine for streaming mostly. As DrGDD said no HD stations, but I'm OK with that. However, I can tell you that the touchscreen navigation to change stations and perform other tasks is pretty frustration. Good thing I keep mine tuned mainly to one good Internet Jazz station.

Yes it does support HD, but you need an antenna specially made for HD. Also supports non-HD channels. Picture may not be as great though because HD comes in clear and regular non-HD channels come in fuzzy, which is normal, unless there's great reception. Where I'm at, I have 7 over the air non-HD channels. Once I have an HD antenna, I end up with 20 something channels including non-HD and HD channels.

Sorry I could not get an FM HD station in my home so returned the radio for a full refund. others have answered that question -- probably not needed

No. There is nowhere to hook up your antenna to the receiver itself. In order to get your over the air TV audio to play out through the speakers you'd need to run your antenna into the tuner on the TV, then from your TV to the receiver using HDMI Audio Return Channel (HDMI 1.4 only. Your TV might not support that), An optical audio cable for 5.1, or RCA cables (Red and white) for stereo sound only.I can't think of any receivers that have a built in TV tuner.

No, even though it's supposed to. The prior (one-tuner) model does though. The company has spent almost a half year trying to get the Clear QAM functionality working on this model with no luck. Sorry.
