This is Hamit Campos. Sorry to just jump in here like this since I've only just joined, but this topic is something I've actually been thinking about. Especially ever since Comcast digital cable came up on blind cool tech. I've been wandering, can something like Windows Media Center be used to access those on demand menus? I just wandered since these boxes have their own remotes and stuff. But if Media Center can tame the box as it were, this is a very good option. Well, at least until something is done about the boxes themselves. That's all for now, thanks for reading. -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of DJ DOCTOR P Sent: Saturday, January 23, 2010 9:53 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: SET TOP BOXES
High Hank, I am still talking to Dish Network Direct TV and all of the cable companies about that. Ok they're coming out with new satellite dish receivers and cable converters that can do allot of cool things. But if you can't see your TV screen to take advantage of those cool things, what good is it doing you the blind consumer? This is why I feel that we are being left out of the market place when it comes to something like this. But if allot of us blind people tell Dish Network Direct TV and the cable companies that this is a must for us, they mite listen to us. But for now, the only way for us to control our satellite dish receivers, is with and through our computers. I don't know this to be true about cable converters yet, I am still doing my homework on that one. My best regards. John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "hank smith" <hanksmi...@gmail.com> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 9:56 PM Subject: Re: SET TOP BOXES > they still do last I checked > now if dish would only impliment that talking box buy ocean blue software > out of uk we would have one hell of a box > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brent Harding" <bhard...@doorpi.net> > To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 3:29 PM > Subject: Re: SET TOP BOXES > > >> Wow.
