I have worked with BSI's Simian and Arrakis' Digi Link Xtreme.  I 
recommend both of them.  The Digi Link is wired to accept ESPN Radio, 
Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Reds Baseball and the ESPN Baseball feeds on 
that funky new little satellite receiver who's name escapes me right 
now.  Four different satellite receivers and feeds.  Was a breeze to 
hook up.  Simian takes a satellite feed and remote feeds with a HotBox 
that's wired to resume the programming with a contact closure from it. 
The sat feed, Hotline feed and console all come through a Broadcast 
Tools 8.2 switcher that the Simian controls.  Again, a breeze to hook 
up.  The Simian was a little easier for me to program the contact 
closures and functions.  I would give it the edge over the Digi Link for 
that reason.
