Because we can't seem to record and catalog digital content. We can't copy DVDs, we have trouble ripping CDs, and we can't burn DVDs from DVRs and DVRs with DVD burners can't burn the HD material without first downresing it. So, music and movie corporations make copying digital content difficult if not illegal. HD radio would fall into that category. There are 5 or so HD radios out, none have a record and memory stick feature that I know of and I don't expect to see that feature. Hell XM got flack for having a record option on one of their players, not sure how that legal battle is going.
