Having problems with all 3 services. Tests I've done online and on my cable box dont show signal level issues, but I am having quite a bit of packet loss. The Optononline is just about useless while trying to upload full resolution photos (1-2MP each). Often gets stuck and hangs, then I have to...

Bad enough they raised my bill to almost $146. But lately the service is awful. My TV is having pixelation and sound dropouts, both on recorded and live programs. Seems to happen most in the evenings. I am having Optimum Voice issues as well, calls are getting dropped frequently and people...

Someone told me that muzak has now "locked" several channels on Echostar 119, meaning they are no longer FTA, this includes environmental. Figures, I finally get the reciever and they do this. Good thing I haven't opened the box yet.

I have all 3 services with an optimum rewards discount(OV,iO, Oo), yet I am now paying $146! I dont even have a silver package, the only "extra" I have is DVR, which is kind of a must with all the commercials on shows these days. It's gone up nearly $10 in the past year, it's getting...

What kind of LNB and dish will I need? Generally want to start with a dish network "pizza dish", and use it for FTA music and NASA TV on echostar.

What are the differences? The first one is cheaper, but is the quality any worse?

Heard it finally on a Dish network demo at a local Sears store. The mono channels sound awful. It's not just that they are in mono. The audio compression is heavy, worse than an FM station. It's mainly the DIGITAL compression, sounds like 64kbps mp3. I know it is an MPEG-2 something they use...

THE TUBE MUSIC NETWORK It's a shame, they played some great obscure music on there. VH1 classic used to be good, but too much talk now.

They did this last week and I have to say it was long overdue! I was *THIS* close to getting an FTA system for muzak but now I don't need to. The adjusted formats sound great. Soft Rock has become Lite Hits and focuses on softer music now, more variety and deeper playlists, even hearing some...

The temptation to get into FTA is too great, plus it'll be cool listening to all the muzak channels. If it dont work through the window I'll mount it outside the window. If he thinks window AC's are OK (I got several) than his grounds for opposing a dish on the outside are small. The woman...

Maybe I failed to mention but I am in upstairs apartment in a house, and I was gonna put the dish just outside my window. Well landlord won't permit it, and I dont have balcony. Now I could fight him on it, but the downstairs tenant tried to get direct TV and he took her to court over it. Thing...

Again I am a newbie and want to keep the system as simple and cheap as possible. I don't need HD, or even EPG. Basically a "no frills" system. I am mainly going to use it to recieve the muzak FTA channels off echostar. I am planning on ordering a reciever by the end of this month (prob next...

I have a question that's been bugging me for the longest time. Before we got digital cable here on Long Island, Cablevision played background music on the channel 14 programming guide that WAS NOT Music Choice. This was prior to 1999 or so. It was very similar to the muzak FM1 program but not...

According to The Business of Music: A Competitive Look at Sirius, XM, Muzak and DMX - Orbitcast.com muzak is actually on 3 satellites, echostar, galaxy 3c, and AMC-1. I wonder if any of those are C-band, because I still see big C band dishes on top of various businesses. Lyngsat doesn't have any...

What is everyone's opinion on the music choice channels? I noticed that the dish companies have partnered with a satellite radio company (like Dish and Siruis). I think it would be a good idea to add siruis to cablevision, even if the sirius subscription fee is charged. The sirius radios still...

I hear I can get muzak audio feeds from an FTA. What does it entail to setup an FTA system? I know I need a reciever, LNB, and a dish. I am totally new to FTA so correct me if I'm wrong. I'd love to be able to listen to muzak's FM1 channel again. I used to several years ago when I had an FM SCA...

I currently have Cablevisions iO digital cable service here on Long island,NY. They offer a triple play where I get all 3 services (optonline, voice, TV) for $143.(its $99 for teh 1st year but goes up) But it's a lot of money, the TV alone is over $80. I am not at all pleased with it. I get alot...
