Listening To DTR
One can listen to a DTR channel simply by entering the channel on one's television. However, this requires leaving the television on (which wastes electricity and reduces the lamp life of the backlight), and uses television speakers which are fairly limited in sound quality. Therefore, the recommended setup is to connect the audio outputs of the television set-top box directly to a stereo system. Set-top boxes typically have an extra set of audio outputs to facilitate this. Also, as a song is playing, additional information such as the song title, artist and album typically appear on the television screen. In the case of U.S. direct-broadcast satellite companies, this is text displayed by the box itself, rather than graphics generated at the headend.

Famous quotes containing the words listening to and/or listening:
“Listening to someone talk isnt at all like listening to their words played over on a machine. What you hear when you have a face before you is never what you hear when you have before you a winding tape.”
—Oriana Fallaci (b. 1930)
“Ive come close to matching the feeling of that night in 1944 in music, when I first heard Diz and Bird, but Ive never got there.... Im always looking for it, listening and feeling for it, though, trying to always feel it in and through the music I play every day.”
—Miles Davis (19261991)
