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. :)
