[net.video] stereo Pay TV

bstempleton (12/19/82)

It may be of note to some that the new Pay-TV stations showing up in my
area next month are advertising that they are in stereo.  I assume there
will be stereo audio outupt jacks on the decoder that plug into your home
stereo equipment.   VCRs with stereo and Pay-TV with it.  I wonder when
we will start getting stereo TV?

Most likely the stereo will come from your tuner listening in the FM band.
The company wilDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(If it is on a cable system.)  The company will most likely charge you extra
for the tuner hookup.  In response to a previous gDquestion, Showtime and HBO
run about $10-$13 per month typically in my area.  Having watched the local
cable company juggle the rates, it seems more like "what the traffic will
bear."
