Yeah we had one at the Wendy's I worked at in high school to tune Muzak. FM1 during the day... HotFM at night
Yeah, Muzak was huge back then and they had a single A/V out so they were perfect for this application.

Still is. I was eating at a Perkins the other day and I could tell they were playing FM1. Went on the Muzak website live song listing and sure enough... same song.
Yep: What's Playing Now - DBS/Encompass LE/LE2/SR
Be careful. It's easy to become obsessed trying to figure out which store/restaurant is playing which channel.
If you look at that link, on say the "Holiday Instrumentals" channel, you'll see it lines up exactly with what is currently playing on Channel 77 on Dish right now.
I was checking out how Classic Hits lines up with channel 953
Muzak is alive and well on Dish.. still a few hidden channels not available to residential subs, like FM1, but nevertheless there are many that are

Yep, I hate the thumbnail views on anything. It's like people can't read so they need pictures to make their choice. It's like a news reporter saying "it was the length of two football fields", as if the audience is too stupid to know how long 200 yards is.
Well, one would also think that the 311 came way before the 1000.
I know what channel to expect at the McDonald's in my area. They all have TV's, and they are almost always tuned to Fox News Channel.Yep: What's Playing Now - DBS/Encompass LE/LE2/SR

If they do, I must not have been paying attention to it. As far as the TV's, it varies at different locations whether they have the sound turned on, or have the sound muted with the closed-captioning turned on. Either way, they are showing Fox News, though.
It's probably up there un-encrypted.
I remember back in the day 61.5 had an unencrypted PPV channel I could pick up on a FTA (unmodified) box
Let's see if we can remember all the Dish models
