Who cares about whole home music.

Nobody plays music through their entire house.

It's what's ever on the tv or people use their iPods
I disagree, I will turn all the tvs on the Sirius Frankly Sinatra channel, and use it while cleaning throughout the house.

Are you ever going to stop your moaning, Claude? Getting pretty old...and Troll-like.

I don't care if directv had a whole home music service. I wouldn't subscribe.

I take hundreds of calls a day at my office for people looking for TV Internet and phone.

People are not calling asking how they can get music through their entire house, and they are not asking if they can stream ESPN for $20 per month either.

Whole home Dvr solutions like the genie or that hopper thing people do want.

I like Pandora on my hopper. Saturday I finally got around to setting it up on a rainy night and programmed the stations. Put it on mix and wow! Sounded like I was in a club with my own dj. It sounded better than the XM sat radio channels. Wish I had done it sooner. Now I am looking forward to VEVO being added so we can watch Video music again. The one thing I really miss about the 80s was Music Videos. :music

I love the idea of having a whole-house audio service like this! Right now, I use a few Apple Airports to create zones in my house, the the Dish setup would work nicely. However, one feature I'm curious about (and have wished they had when using the SiriusXM channels): when you are streaming music to your hopper/Joey, is there a way to keep the VIDEO of a network on the TV, while simultaneously streaming the AUDIO from IHeartRadio, TuneIn Radio, etc.? This would be ideal in situations when you're having a party and want to listen to music, but maybe want to put on the video from a football game. Is this a feature of the new audio service?

Do you not do any high end custom installs? Almost every new, large house built in my area has some kind of whole home music system. We actually installed one in a house years ago. People enjoy being able to have music throughout the house when entertaining guests or just doing choirs around the house. The most popular is being able to have Sirius outside the house, like on the deck or patio. I can't believe that Sirius music in the house is not that important to your customers.

MTV killed the Video star.

Then brought in fake rappers, hip hop and stupid reality shows.

I don't think it is a huge market, but there is a market for it. I own a few of the Squeezebox products (competitor to Sonos before they were discontinued) to stream music through my house and used ones are now selling for far above their original retail price - so *somebody* is interested. I think if marketed correctly there is a percentage of households interested in a product like this.
