[SurroundSound] Re: Home For The Hub

I agree with grill, realafrica and others that ideally it would be
great if someone was to step up to the plate and provide a "free"

neither the technical or financial means to offer this, but in the
meantime I would be happy to chip in for a subscription to the hub for
as long as it takes.
