CBStv, YES the receivers will work with DP equipment. Along with Legacy and Dish Pro Plus.

DirecTV is getting $ 199 for this same type receiver with a $ 200 rebate, and this deal is good for new or existing customers. Charlie has lost his mind.

My feeling is if the new channels (other than the locals) are in MPEG2 than I think Dish is doing the right thing. However, if they put all the new channels in MPEG4 (which seems to be a distinct possibility now according to the uplink information) then they are forcing existing customers to upgrade, and that would be disgraceful. If he puts the new channels only in MPEG4 he is trying to get everyone to pay this ridiculous upgrade price.

I have a 811 that I own (not leased). I wouldn't think that it will be that much to upgrade to a 411/211. I guess its just wishful thinking!!!!

What are the policies for those leasing 811s? I've got two.

**BrettTRay** · 12-16-2005 06:55 PM

Dish hasn't said.

In the Quick Facts PDF is alludes to programing charges to recieve OTA...what is that about?

I'm hearing sketchy rumors that the 211's may be available next week. The 411's became available yesterday to retailers that are picking up from their distributors. I believe dishstore.net has them available NOW.

By the way, their prices are very good.

Even we can't sell at those prices.

This picture (This picture) shows all the 411's that DishStore.NET got in today.

Almost half of them are gone already.

I thought the Facts Blasts for retailers not long ago stated that a coax cable and telephone wire package was included in the 411 and the 211 was to get the bag of wires except for the coax.
