Is any electronics company making a good quality digital tv radio?
All tv radio bands were rendered usless after the digital conversion. Has a company stepped forward to make a good tv radio that will pick up the digital tv signal?

No. And don’t expect any to anytime soon.
It was cheap to add VHF TV sound to a FM radio; It costs a lot more to add a digital TV tuner.
Additional problems:
-Setting up the digital TV tuner would require a video display.
-A typical FM radio antenna would be poor at picking up DTV signals
-The current .DTV broadcast system doesn’t work very well if the receiver is moving.
Idle though:
It wouldn’t cost that much extra to add an FM radio tuner to a portable DTV, I haven’t heard of any though.
You can buy a portable DTV for about $100, but battery life isn’t that great.
