This weekend I heard on the radio that Canada and the US have finally come
to an agreement on standards for broadcasting digital radio.  New receivers
(or at least tuners) will be needed to receive it.  Stations will continue
to also broadcast analog (similarly to BW and color TV, or mono and stereo
FM).  I wonder if there will be devices sold for attaching to your old analog
radio to convert the incoming digital signals to analog.  What sort of
hardware would be involved in receiving digital signals?  Could a combination
CD player/digital radio be built?
