It is really Google automation.  Much better than either of the mentioned systems, though I suspect much more expensive.  Your choice of automation will depend on your needs.  You may need Google, Enco, AudioVault or something simpler (and less costly) like Arrakis DigiLink (which worked out very well for me) or any of the many freeware or cheapware programs out there.  Like I said, it depends on what you want to do.  If you are switching multiple satellite receivers into several stations, you will need something very elaborate and maybe expect to pay up to $100,000.
