Try running satellite dish through DAC for music

If you have a satellite dish I'm sure you know they have great music channels. Jazz, Classical etc. No commercials and great variety. We use one of the digital outputs and run it through a DAC which brings the performance close to cd playback. A neat way to get a wide range of music. We are in a fringe area so fm reception is almost impossible. Nice alternative anyway.

Ok,long time Sat radio station listner.(6 years) The classical stations (834-836)almost never play anything I like. I have a Theta modified Sony stb

Before the Sony sat box,I was on cable and did the DMX radio;and that came w/coax.(program info was on the remotes' screen).The newer Sientific Atlanta boxes have coax out.

I also have a HD stb with toslinc --there are many movies in 5.1 ;and they are pretty good. Some of the local channels /in HD are also in 5.1
