I posted similar in other forums. I was about to reply to a home built dragon user in tier 1, but I did have to modify a file to get sound working.

Keywords: femon, WINSCP3, puTTY.

Stuff I used to get it running to enjoy my Dragon.

You MUST have an almost perfect signal and not allow the HD-3000 to tune to a poor signal or it will crash and burn.

I am using an indoors log periodic (alleged) rabbit ears equivalent.
It s a Zenith brand I found at Sears for 40.00. But I am not pleased that it has no balun to it's coax cable.

Others I know use the barbecue grill twin bowtie set top UHF antenna I have been using since UHF was mandated..Then it said "color ready" now it says HDTV ready lol. But it does work well. for $15.00 you can find a clone of it on radio shack's website. Guess they like to promote the 50.00 jobs in the store. Use a 300/75 balun transformer for best results, look in your old vcr boxes or ask a neighbor for a free one.

The last few weeks, I use femon over puTTY to SSH into the dragon from my laptop over the home LAN to aim the antenna.

Nothing else is warranted under the Dragon guarantee although the menus and installed programs will probably work with tinkering.

I enjoy my music library on any 'puter throughout the house coming from the Dragon HD.

But don't expect much support other than "getting ATSC off the air". It is well specified in their fine print. I spent the equivalent of the Dragon and a couple years with hours of help from this forum and got nowhere near this functionality until I bought a Dragon.

So my payback is I have a working pristine r5a22 Dragon install with a asound patch and am enjoying it.
If you need a copy of one of my config files etc from my working dragon, be glad to share. I output only to a VGA monitor for now, and optical audio to a Sony receiver.

I still have audio issues I am working on for other functions, but enjoy live/recorded ATSC TV.

Good wife factor.

I wasn't around and she picked up the ATI radio remote and being tivo experienced, was jumping around programs and commercials one night when I got home.
