Music Choice I'm guessing? They always seem to pull out some interesting stuff on the specialized channels. Indeed if your cable box has optical out, you get a much better signal despite being DD 2.0 192 kbp/s. The difference is staggering over the normal RCA.
Also, they have streaming on their website once logged in with cable info. I'm not for sure if it is the exact same thing as what the channel is currently playing but I think it would be as you can select from every channel available on cable.
