 I&#039;d prefer an indoor unit or possibly something I could piggy back onto the dish.<br />

Now before complaining about the retro-step-forward, I just had a visit from the cable company technician and he accessed an inner menu in the Cisco DTA50. I should have asked him how he did it (he definitely used the DTA remote) but we were having a discussion (a friendly discussion, he was rather nice), so I forgot. Anyway, does anybody know how to access it?]]></content:encoded>

It has no audio out- no analog/RCA, no digital/Toslink, no headphone jack, no HDMI Audio Return Channel.  This is not a problem with 99% of what I watch, as I get the Audio from the HDMI signal coming from whatever video source I&#039;m using.  However, the Superbowl is coming up and my only source for live sports is from local OTA tv, via an antenna and the TV&#039;s built-in tuner.  Thus,...<br />
