Too bad they didn't partner with Slacker. I think Slacker has a much deeper playlist

What a great addition! I'm really enjoying this.
Now I don't have to jump to my Roku to get Pandora.
Way to go direct.
How about adding Netflix?

I'm guessing it is more integrated instead of the app for Pandora they have now?

It would be nice if it would show up on my receiver one of these days? I have the HR-34 and I've even forced a new CE download last weekend and still no Pandora. What the hell?

I like Pandora, but the audio quality on D*'s Pandora channel is definitely 2nd rate. I consider it to be far from the "Ultimate" music destination. It would be nice if they had the bitrate up around 256kbps, or even 192. It sounds like it is more like 64 or 96 to my ears.

New sub (from Dish), and I still can't find this under my Extras menu.... maybe I need a FW update? I dunno.

And if I have the HR34, will my HR25's be able to access this thru the 34?

 

[dfecarter]

I'm really enjoying it as well!!

Who doesn't have Pandora somewhere in their home entertainment system already? I have three devices connected directly to my AVR that do Pandora (TV, disc player, GoogleTV).
