[icu1954]

does any one know why there is no audio on me tv? if there are some other audio pid i need to enter please let me know.

 

[Mr Tony]

its AC-3 audio last I checked (just like ThisTV)

 

[rgk]

That channel is AC-3 Dolby

You'll need an external Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder such as a modern audio amp/receiver or a Cyberhome Sonic Voom decoder.

Or a decent HD satellite receiver that plays all types of audio. Before you waste money on external add-on stuff, for nearly the same $$$ you can replace the receiver- possibly adding HD or s2 to your system also

One of the few easy things about a satellite card in a computer is that AC3 can be added with a click of a mouse.

A Sonic Voom its about 10-15 dlls, ten times less than an Openbox or other HD receivers.

I know you can get a Coolsat 8000 for under $100 but yeah that makes no sense. Sonic Voom/Cyberhome setup is a lot cheaper

 

[eurosport]

Ok....you guys are right about the sonic Voom being cheaper, but I guess the point I was trying to make, was why buy adapters for sound, on a nearly outdated dvb-s only box, and still miss out on 90% of the good stuff up there. Makes no sense to me, but hey, to each his own.

For some of us $20 is max quarterly budget for Sat parts... And with regular gas hitting $3.999 on weekends ...... Buying an adapter that works excellently rather than an unknown new box or a box with many known issues is a wise choice - for me.

I still use the Cyberhome decoder on my Visionsats, as it is necessary for much of my viewing. I have the Visionsats set up to record NASA-TV using the AC-3 audio, since it can be burned to a Blu-Ray layout directly without re-encoding (Blu-Ray and DVD specs do not support the use of MPEG audio). MeTV, ThisTV, and most (all?) of the PBS is also AC-3.

Of course, the Openbox is on HDMI, and decodes AC-3 internally, so its a moot point for that receiver.
