After 5 years playing with DRM, I have seen them come and I have seen them go. DRM receivers are much like the band in This is Spinal Tap. "They are currently residing in the 'where are they now' file."
Remember these classics? Himalaya, TechniSat, Morphy-Richards, Mayah, Digital World Traveller, Sangean, Starwaves, Kchibo... the list goes on.
What will our radio need to have a lasting impact on the DRM market and be usable by the masses? Clearly we have an uphill battle to create a solid working yet reasonably priced set. Why have the big players in consumer electronics stayed out of the DRM fray? I'm thinking Sony, Panasonic, Grundig, etc.
