    Audio Processing on SatGuys radio

    Scott, you SHOULD be proud of your sound! While i'm not a "big time radio engineer" I have done a little radio processing work back in my radio engineering days, and I worked for what i think was one of THE BEST sounding stations on the air at the time. KOKY-FM in Little Rock Arkansas, before...

    Audio Processing on SatGuys radio

    Just wanted to say that the audio processing on SatelliteGuys radio sounds really really good! I hear broadcasters that don't sound as good as this stream (and I can imagine how good it would sound straight out of the processor before it's encoded!) What are you guys using for audio processing?

    DISH's new IPTV Service to be called...

    I dropped my Dish Network package (and subsequently quit hanging out at SatelliteGuys.us since I was in OTA Land again and life got busy around the same time) back in 2012. It was a tough call, but the $100/mo bill was just too much strain on the budget. I've managed to scrape by with a Roku...

    MSNBC in HD on June 29

    OK, I'll bite... Based on ratings, this should not be high on the list of new additions. The biggest complaint from those of us who wanted Fox News HD is that it is the highest rated cable news network, therefore more demand and more draw for new Dish customers. Politics aside, not adding...

    HDMI does not work on my three year old 622...

    If you just started trying to use the HDMI (You haven't verified that it worked previously, or even if you did0 it might be the cable. I bought one at Wal-Mart for $30 that worked one time and hasn't worked since. I bought one from Monoprice.com for less than $10 and it works great. It's never...

    OK, Networking Question

    If you happen to have an extra Netgear WGT624 laying about, there is a way to make it into an ethernet bridge or a client. I hooked my 622 up this way with only a little tinkering and google searching. Might work on other wireless routers as well. Of course, i'm just that geeky to have more...

    SEC Football on CBS...

    Man, i'm glad it's not just me. I've been tweaking my TV to try and figure it out. Looks like crap on my local OTA CBS too, less crappy than the Dish version, but still pretty bad. I finally got it looking a little better by reducing my contrast and brightness a little. It's not as good...

    Birmingham, Al. CBS 42 hd problems

    I have a Toshiba 50" 720p set, and I live in Northern Cullman County, but I still get a solid signal (85+ on my meter) from 42 OTA. I just simply don't watch the Dish version.

    Has anyone ever messed with DishLinux and/or tried modding a 721?

    :rolleyes: Guess I didn't think about taking the drive out of the box This would be an interesting concept. If someone would write ( or has someone already written) an interface for linux that would make this a good multimedia box independent of the satellite service, but still remote control...
