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:
“The democratic youth ... lives along day by day, gratifying the desire that occurs to him, at one time drinking and listening to the flute, at another downing water and reducing, now practising gymnastic, and again idling and neglecting everything; and sometimes spending his time as though he were occupied in philosophy.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
