I hate to argue, but this is untrue. I have an RCA DSS, and I record Music Choice
like it is going out of style! I use the optical connector exclusively, so I know
this works.
The recording artist should be jumping up and down that their songs get played on DSS,
because only when something is broadcast digitally are they entitled to royalties
under 17 USC 106(6). The song author gets paid, too, of course. Only the record
companies are left out in the cold, which is why they fight tooth and nail against
technologies like MP3, Music Choice, MDs, and DATs. Death to the bourgeois!

A lot of people I know have checked on this and they have all reported
that, regardless of service (MusicChoice on DirecTV, Muzak on DiSH or
Galaxie on that Canadian DBS), the receivers won't pass optical audio out
on the music only channels. However, all the other (poorer sounding)
channels all do allow audio output.
