Speaker bods Sonos chuck FREE TELLY* in with discount offer Wi-Fi streaming speaker supplier Sonos is sweetening Playbar UK purchases with six months of Spotify and Sky Movies. The Playbar is priced at £599 ($699 in the USA) and connects to an HDTV through an optical cable. It can be integrated with other Sonos speakers like the equally expensive Sub for bass oomph, and a pair of Play: …
It does seem to be at least one plug a week for Sonos of late, guessing there is a lot of free kit going somebody's way.
So another PLAYBAR offer? Must be just days since the last one. You'd almost think it had a fundamental flaw in it, like not being able to handle DTS audio or something.
Oh, it can't handle DTS? I can't listen to my Blu-ray discs in surround sound? Rather useless for a premium home cinema system, no?
At this rate, these things will be on BOGOF by Christmas.
No tuner.
Many people (more than half UK Internet users, note I didn't say broadband) don't have the cap for streaming video. Also it doesn't scale well compared to Broadcast channels.
Satellite, Cable and Terrestrial has TV channels. Internet has has media servers. Not same thing, complementary.
So NO "TV Channels" included. How do they describe it in the adverts?
UK Consumer Gouge Levy + The lack of DTS support is the deal breaker here, maybe Sonos should quit with the weak offers Stop jacking up the price in the UK .... oh..... and do some development work to make this kit more *usable*
Love my Play 5, but without DTS I wont be considering hooking up a Sonos system to my new Blu ray
