...titles of the CDs we play and beaming the information back to headquarters. Whenever we go online, a sneaky little subroutine has been quietly shuttling that data over to Real's servers and dumping them into their files. Since I had to register my name to get the jukebox software, who I am and what music I like have been surreptitiously databased by Glaser's company. Without my or anybody else's consent. How rude...

In the fall, for instance, it will turn all those DISHPlayers into digital VCRs, so that instead of just pausing shows, users will be able to store stuff for later playback. By the end of the year, an upgrade will turn the player into a jukebox, so that CD-quality music that's currently beamed down in real time can be stored for playing later over your stereo system (assuming you've hooked your TV to a stereo). The connection is so fast, says an EchoStar spokesman, that entire CDs could be transmitted...
