[BC] re: X-Digital question

[Ronald J. Dot'o Sr.]

One thing about the X box that kind of irritates me is that you need 
an internet connection to it for it to work.  If you temporarily lose 
your IP does that make you dead in the water?  I understand that they 
update and authorize the receiver thru the IP link.  I haven't gotten 
into programming the box yet so I still have a lot to learn about it.

A couple of things that I understand about this. First, I was told 
that the SG3 was no longer manufactured. I'm not sure this is correct 
or not, but the SG3 has been available for a number of years now, and 
as we all know, today the production life of a particular model of 
anything is very short. This might have been why the development of 
the X-box occured.
Also, ABC currently has all of its news-talk simulcast on both 
systems. I was told that ESPN will be next to go on it. It looks like 
everything will eventually be moved over in due time.
