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.

“Time is a horse that runs in the heart, a horse
Without a rider on a road at night.
The mind sits listening and hears it pass.”
