DENON INTRODUCES HOME-THEATER-IN-A-BOX AND PERSONAL AUDIO SYSTEMS
-- Advanced Features and Performance at Affordable Prices ---
Mahwah, NJ – September 14, 2006 — Denon Electronics, one of the world's premier manufacturers of high-quality home entertainment components, recently introduced the DHT-487DV Home-Theater-In-A-Box (HTIB) and the S-81, 2-channel personal audio systems. Both innovative new compact systems are designed to enhance consumers' lifestyles by making it easy and affordable to enjoy the benefits of powerful room-filling audio and more. For added flexibility and connectivity, both new products feature a special dedicated port for connecting Denon's new Apple® iPod® docking station (Model ASD-1R) and XM Satellite Radio's "Connect-and-Play" antenna or the XM Mini-Tuner with XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock from XM Satellite Radio (optional).
DHT-487: All-in-One Affordable Home Theater
Denon's DHT-487DV HTIB (SRP: $699) features a high-performance 5.1 receiver with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and a DVD player featuring video upconversion with scaling (up to1080i) via HDMI digital video output. The system comes with five acoustically matched loudspeakers including a 100-Watt powered subwoofer. The compact, elegantly styled DHT-487DV is an affordable, all-in-one solution that lets consumers add the impact and power of home theater to virtually any room in the house.
For maximum sound quality, the DHT-487DV's speakers are precision matched for optimum acoustics, and European-tuned in order to provide great performance when listening to either movie soundtracks or music. The center channel 'dialog' speaker features a 2-way design, with dual midrange drivers and an efficient tweeter.
S-81 Personal Audio System: Great Sound with Little Effort
Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed design concept of Denon's S-Series (S-301, S-101), the company has once again brought elegance, simplicity and a seamless blend of form and function together in its new S-81 personal audio system (SRP: $599), offering users high-performance audio in an easy-to-use compact package.
The S-81 fills the gap for music lovers who are not looking for DVD-playback capability, but simply want great sound from either CD, MP3, WMA or radio sources. The S-81's CD/ Receiver features a 50-watt x 2 amplifier for the included speakers, ensuring the power necessary for pure and realistic music reproduction. Denon engineers once again turned to European speaker designers to aid in the development and tuning of the two included speakers, which are crafted with the latest technologies and materials in order to achieve accurate sound reproduction.
Keeping simplicity in mind, Denon has once again added red and white color-coded speaker cables on both the speaker and amplifier. For individuals who would like to add longer cables to their music system, these one-touch jacks can be removed and re-attached to the users own speaker cable.
Denon iPod Docking Station: Clean and Simple Connectivity with all iPods
The new DHT-487 and S-81 feature the added benefit of easy connectivity with Denon's optional Apple® iPod® docking station (Model ASD-1R, SRP: $129), which gives users complete command and control of their iPods via their remote control, allowing them to stream music, photos and video from their iPods through their home entertainment system. The DHT-487 also adds a main on-screen display for ease of use.
Extra Terrestrial Radio: XM Satellite Radio's "Connect-and-Play"
Both new products also feature XM Satellite Radio's "Connect-and-Play" technology, which lets users add XM Satellite Radio functionality with the addition of an optional "Connect-and-Play" XM Satellite Radio antenna or the XM Mini-Tuner with XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock. As a full 5.1 ready receiver, the DHT-487 also decodes the recently introduced XM-HD 5.1 content via Neural Surround decoding for multi-channel enjoyment of XM Radio stations.
Both products are currently shipping.

I was reading this article
thehill.com
That said this-
Last summer, for the first time, streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime claimed the largest share of the television viewing audience, surpassing both cable and broadcast TV. Streaming captured 34.8 percent of July viewers, according to Nielsen data, compared to 34.4 percent for cable and 21.6 percent for broadcast.
And then, sometime in the second half of 2022, cord-cutters became the majority. The share of cable and satellite television subscribers dipped to 48 percent, according to a report from Samba TV, a television technology company.
Now I do not consider those with YTTV and the likes, Cord Cutters, but they still do not have Traditional Cable/Satellite delivered Live TV, so I decided to do the math.
There are, now, 129 Million Households in the United States.
In 2015, there were 100 Million Cable/Sat Subscribers , no streaming Live TV Service.
Today, there are 66 Million Live TV subscribers, including Cable, Satellite and Streaming.
Roughly, Streaming Live TV has 14 Million subs including all of them.
So that means, Cable/Satellite now has, roughly, 51 Million Households
So in just 8 years, lost 49% of their subscribers and by the end of this year, expected sub count to be, roughly, 45 million households.
That means a total loss of 55% since 2015 at the end of 2023.
But out of 129 Million households, 45 million will mean only 35% will get Cable/Satellite Delivered Live TV by the end of 2023.
Imagine what 2024 will be like.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

AT&T basically went downhill as even for Internet, they were slow in offering services as AT&T WorldNet did not exist until 1994.
In 1994, the commercialization of the Internet accelerated rapidly, forcing major telecommunications giants like AT&T to compete directly with pioneering network operators like BBN (Bolt Beranek and Newman).
AT&T's Early Moves. In October 1994, AT&T launched its first public World Wide Web presence (www.att.com). However, AT&T initially lagged behind rivals in offering direct, commercial Internet backbone and access services, leading it to look for external partnerships to catch up quickly.
Having built and operated the original ARPANET, BBN formed its commercial Internet service provider (ISP) division, BBN Planet, in 1994. By the end of that year, BBN acquired regional networks like SURAnet, making it the largest provider of corporate and institutional Internet access in the United States.
Long-distance rival MCI moved faster than AT&T into commercial Internet infrastructure. Alongside Sprint, IBM, and UUNet, MCI operated one of the primary commercial Internet backbones as the government-funded NSFNET prepared for decommissioning in 1995.
Because AT&T needed immediate enterprise-grade Internet capabilities to counter MCI and Sprint, AT&T forged a major alliance with BBN Planet in mid-1995.
According to The New York Times, AT&T guaranteed BBN Planet at least $120 million in revenue over three years to supply Internet access and security services to AT&T's corporate clients, while also purchasing a minority stake in the company.
While the BBN partnership gave AT&T an immediate foothold in corporate Internet services, AT&T soon built out its own massive consumer and enterprise infrastructure, launching dial-up service AT&T WorldNet in 1996. So basically AT&T would use BBNPlanet's backbone and BBNPlanet would then use MCI's backbone for anything they didn't handle directly.
Meanwhile, GTE acquired BBN in 1997, eventually merging it into what became Verizon's network assets.

Only thing was I thought AT&T split into 13 Regional Bell Operating Companies and not 7 like it says.
