    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...

    How would one interact with the box to install the software?

    Native Resolution

    Ditto this. On the 622 at least, SD and HD stretch is independent. :)

    Anyone Get a Picture from 622 thru HDMI to a Sony KDL-xxS2000?

    I don't have a Sony TV, but I had a problem with my 622 and HDMI. It turned out to be the cable. I had purchased (in desperation for HDMI one night) an expensive "gold plated" hdmi cable from a big box retailer (I won't call any names, but their initials are Wal-Mart). I fought with this problem...

    Native Resolution

    First, I don't believe the 622/722 does native resolution passthrough. This means that whatever resolution you set the box to use, it will use for all channels as far as your TV is concerned. To stretch the SD channels, you only need to use the "Format" button at the bottom left of the number...

    HDMI vs Component Cables with 722

    Just for the record Digital does not always equal better... Many recording artists are going back to recording their masters onto tape before editing in a digital environment because of the superior tone they get from the analog tape. Digital tends to have a less listenable tone to the trained...

    622 Sputtered and died

    Sounds exactly like what mine did. You'll need to call support or use the online chat (i've found the online chat is less frustrating and you have a transcript of the inaccurate, but funny, information they give you)

    Need a trip wire or door switch to start music

    We are trying to play a little prank on someone, and we need some way to start music (CD or MP3 from computer or a player) when he opens the door to his office. I was thinking surely there would be some kind of toy laser tripwire or something that does this. I've searched ThinkGeek to no avail...

    HDMI: Cables DO make a difference

    About 8 months ago I bought an HDMI cable at Wal-Mart to connect my 622 and/or my upconvert DVD player. $36 later, I discovered that it didn't work. I called my TV manufacturer and had a warranty service call to investigate the problem. The tech didn't find any particular problems, but did a...

    TBS crosses the line

    Watching an episode of Family Guy tonight and the show stops, like it is paused. A bug of Bill Engval comes on the screen and does a full promo with Family Guy "Paused" behind it. This is taking the pop-ups and bugs to an entirely new level. What are they thinking? Do they not see the Nielson...

    In fairness, I have to brag on E*. I called on Sunday afternoon about my dead 622 and received the replacement today. Good Job E*!

    New Channel Discussions and Impressions

    I just got my ViP622 reinstalled, but just since Saturday the quality on my HD channels looks better. Maybe I just missed having HD, but I would be interested to know if the bitrates went up after they dropped Voom.
