I have Dish Network and truly love the audio channels. Except for occasional talk radio, I don't ever use my analog tuner. There have been times (pre-Tivo) that I thought about getting rid of my Dish Network due to a lack of viewing time in the summer. What kept me from getting rid of Dish was the great(commercial free)music available all summer long for the patio or in the garage via the remote speakers. Currently I have to record the music to listen to it in my car. I would consider the digital channels for my car if the programming was as good as my Dish Network audio. Coincidentally, the new PVR box digital out to my Pass Labs D1 has very good sound in the remote locations. In the main room, its short-comings are more noticeable. It is the quality of a mid grade CD player. Of course it is important to remember it is going through a $6000(list price)D/A converter. Best Regards, Aaron
Would You Pay $9.95 For Satillite Radio
According to a recent Stereophile article,( see web site ) satillite radio is getting ready to launch a media blitz costing 100 MM to tout their new $9.95 per month commercial free service. Do you think this thing will fly ? More importantly, would you spend your beer money for it ?
