This isn't. Some of the other JBL speakers are, though... maybe you meant that. HD Radio simply hasn't become ubiquitous yet, but I'm guessing within a few years, it'll actually gain some traction, especially once it's in cars and portable devices. I have an table HD Radio from Cambridge Soundworks, and I discovered that in NYC, it's just as difficult to get an HD signal as it is with analog radio... that needs to be addressed too. Interesting blog you've got! All the flying saucers I’ve seen are *round*. This isn’t. Some of the other JBL speakers are, though… maybe you meant that.
