We are trying to watch "Engineering Egypt". The sound mix is TERRIBLE !!! The music track drowns out the commentators, so you can't hear what they're saying. The film is excellent, and the topic interesting, but between the clashing cymbals and the loud music, it's impossible to listen to the program.

Is anyone at NGC watching what you're sending out?

Fire the Engineer of this show. He/she is not paying attention !!!

I've looked forward for a week to this program. Thanks to you, it's ruined!

I loved the program about
Engineering Egypt and how
it showed how the Pyrmids
were made. I do agree with
the poster above that the
sound quality could have
been better~but otherwise
it was a enjoyable show!

Sorry that the sound mix was off, we checked our levels internally and the mix was fine - as well as an aircheck from DirecTV and a system out in Los Angeles. There may be an issue with our signal and your operator - if possible, could you email your operator and zip code to us at comments@natgeochannel.com and we'll check it out?

JeffDarnell:I must say that your program was was
filled with information!
It helped to answer how the
Egyptians built the Pyramid
they made it similar to a
*Tennessee Valley Authority
Project~they used their own
people and not slaves as had been thought.*Another
thing your program showed
was that they had primative
tools~a framing square made
from three pieces of wood,
that had a plumb bob hanging on it to help keep
the Pyramid level!
I told a good friend of mine to watch it!
