This is old news, and I actually found the announcement kind of funny considering David's past statements about satellite radio.

Of course money talks. :)

I would love to go on that cruise though!

[Steve Mehs]

So that's why he added the Satellite Radio Forum at AVS :)

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yup that's why, people were begging him for one for a long time there and Davids reply was satellite radio is not a piece of equipment for a home theater.

Funny how Money changed his mind. :)

[Nick]

Actually, sat radio is, or can be a component of one's HT setup, just like AM/FM. That's why an A/V receiver is called an A/V receiver


"This is old news..."

Sorry, Scott. I didn't know I was posting "old" news. It was new to me, and I thought it would be to anyone who hasn't heard it yet. :rolleyes:

[Scott Greczkowski]

It's ok Nick. :)

I was just surprised when David announced this a month or so ago, especially after his comments. :)

You going on the cruise?

[Nick]

Nah, but hook me up with a hot, young nympho and I'll consider it.

Actually, I would love to go. I'm in the prime cruise demographic. Old, financially independent and nothing else to do but cruise around the Caribbean on a floating crap table. From the list of functions, looks like the seminars will be HT lite.

Air fare to Miami -- $ 497
State room, single -- $1051
Souvenirs, ship's store --$198

:lol: Gotta watch out, some are brainwashed beyond all reality by the marketing hype of over priced cables and would go to any lengths to defend the Monster name :D
