[BC] Starguides: Going Away

[Kevin C. Kidd, CSRE/AMD]

I had forgotten that he mentioned a monitor RX.  His 
network was worried about affiliate loss because of the 
added requirements.  Sat music is already headed to the 
dumper AFAIAC.  Hard Disk automation is just too easy to 
put up with a lot of crap.

Jones called yesterday to see if I'd installed my new US 
Country reciever yet... it requires either hi-speed or 
dial-up access. She also said that for now, they weren't 
requiring stations to hook up an off-air reciever to the 
box, as it was originally designed for. I thought that was 
a bit Big-Brother-ish.

We have installed a couple of the X-Digital receivers for 
ESPN.  They REQUIRE a full time internet connection to 
operate properly.  I have talked to a network chief from 
another network and they are trying to get a work around 
for that requirement. A lot of small stations don't have 
and probably will never have full time high speed internet.
