Yes, they're technically capable of much more than just OTA TV, AM/FM Radio, etc. How easy it is to get that working is up for debate, though. Additionally, for any frequency band you want to receive, you'll need an antenna that's at least an approximate match for that band. You're not going to be able to receive shortwave on the little 700/800MHz antenna that ships with these. :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
