I bought a Blue-Ray DVD player a couple of months ago. What's neat about
them is that they (at least this one) don't have a TV tuner, but an AM/FM
Stereo tuner. No matter what TV channel the games are on, this DVD player
can be turned on and the audio controlled by remote. Off with the TV audio
and on with the DVD audio. I can use the blessed silence button when ads
come on the radio too. :o)
