Re: Music Choice

mjw, you make a good point. It would be really cool if they had HDRadio receivers picking up popular local stations and then piping them through after the Music Choice lineup. They don't have to transmit video or any other information so it would take minimal bandwidth. Perhaps they could run it at 128kbps per channel if they are worried about space.

I remember back in the day they used to distribute an FM Channel Lineup Card, and you could plug your cable into an FM Receiver and get 30 clear stations. They did away with this to reclaim a few video channels for basic service and Motorola OOB Data.

I wonder if someday Comcast will ever come to an agreement with another music provider. I do enjoy music choice though, and it's pretty cool how they have that slideshow information on all their channels. I remember when Digital Cable first came out in our area Music Choice was nothing but a black screen. We used to have a bunch of DMX Spanish music channels right after the Music Choice lineup, but those were given the axe a few months ago.

it would be nice if the channel switching from music choice would be alittle faster, or they can make the music choice lineup a comcast central format..i am sure they can fit around 10 different choice or more on the screen since it is basically a jpeg put the music channels on the left and maybe 10 different little previews on the right one click preview, or scroll from the left menu..what does everyone think?

Hey Cypher-
While DE and PA haven't gotten them yet (so i'm not sure what they're like), FIOS TV is rolling out new music channels this week - that are sponsored by MTV. Apparently they will compliment the Music Choice lineup.

Check out this thread:

»New audio-only channels?

When I had DISH, I really liked the Sirius stations.
