No audio with Locast

Once the Locast guide appears, I click on CBS and then I see video, but no audio.  How do I get audio?

I love your service idea. Now I need help to use it. Thanks!

I’ve solved the issue. Go to settings/audio/Dolby. Turn off. Works!

I will try that solution (disable dolby) tomorrow to see if I get sound.

The fine folks who do the software for DTV should have made the Locast app work regardless of the audio settings.

However, I am in Chicago and am getting the New York city networks.

 

Called to get the LCC so I can record to the DVR.

My AM21 would not work with the new Genie receivers.

Hopefully, it will get here Wednesday as promised.

Then, I won't need to worry about locast.

On what am I looking for these settings? The TV, fire stick, locast?

Yes that’s right, the Directv receiver settings. Works great. Watched The Good Fight on Sunday, no problems. Great picture, too. I tried to watch CBS again yesterday and needed to activate Locast again; kind of surprised because I had completed that step already, but I did it again and it continued to work flawlessly. This is a good workaround while these companies work out their issues.

Got the LCC and all is well with CBS (plus all the sub carriers!).

 

So, if I want NY,NY channels, I can always go the locast route.

 

Thank you everyone.
