I have digital cable and an home theatre receiver. There is a digital audio out on the box and a coax digital in on the receiver. I hooked up a cable and lo and behold i had dolby digital sound from all of my premium movie channels. I thought this was rather cool for the cable company did not use this feature as a selling point, but i just stumbled onto it myself. (whether i am intuitive or just dim witted is yet to be decided)

Now I'm thinking...i have all of these music channels through my cable provider...would i be able to stream them onto my hard drive, select the songs i want, then upload them onto my Rio?

If so, any thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks!
