i think its those stations you get with digital cable that are radio stations, in that they only play music they don't broadcast anything else. i think you can get them on xm radio.

i dunno tho, thats my guess

I dunno if this is what it is but I'll explain anywayz..

If you take your cable wire that goes to your TV, chop the end off and expose the copper wire, plug this into your antenna jack in your receiver and you will get so many fuckin radio stations it's crazy. Almost every frequency change will be a different station. You must subscribe for cable too, or it won't work.

of course you'd want to buy a splitter first ..

interesting

the reason i was curious is because i want to listen to all the great internet broadcasts, such as ASOT, over "cable radio"... as it is excellent quality.

anyone here use this service?
i appreciate the responses.

Cable is usually run by a local company...ASOT isn't local so I don't think thats what you're looking for. There is satellite radio, but you can't tune into whatever you want all over the world. There are preset radio stations for it.

The advantage of satellite is no matter where you are the radio station you listen to will follow. Not like AM/FM radio where if you drive 200 miles or so from it's location it goes away. I've heard nothing of "cable radio" though.

My best guess would be 128-192kbps radio stations that can be played on broadband internet connections.

Americas: plain coxial cable line running to the normal AM/FM antenna on your sterio...you'll recieve many stations..in perfect sterio quality...though the frequencys will be changed

Europe: (not 100% sure)...similar to american ways ... but instead of just putting the cable to the antenna, this is like an actual antenna...with real equipment to recieve the signals...if that makes since...bleh

We have cable coming through our CATV coaxial. Can we just use a 75-300 ohm converter to connect the cable to our FM/AM receiver? Or is special equipment necessary? Remember: We DO have cable coming through the line.

no equipment...just make the copper part of the coxial cable touch the antenna...and it will work..duct tape it if you need to :P
