No way I would take the bet in point 2, as many people don't hear any difference between 128KB MPEG3 vs Redbook CD.

Well, yes if all other things are equial then I can completely agree if the equipment can produce the results.

I am confused on the second part. I am not sure if I am reading it wrong or you typed something wrong.

Edit:

Ok, I read it wrong. I got it now. Just a hectic morning here.

I think we should make Gary our official bitrate/resolution police. He certaintly has put DISH on notice that there a folks out there who are monitoring and know what they are doing. No wool over Gary's eyes. Just maybe better shades. lol

Probably an obious item I missed. How can you tell the resolution on a 811? I've searched and can't find it.

In the system for HDTV setup you configure your output res if thats what your asking? I dont know how or if you can get it to tell you what signal its receiving

Having a HD receiver like the 811, or any Dish receiver, will tell you what resolution that you are receiving. You will need the right equipment that Gary, Hokie, P Smith, JohnH, Goalie, and a few others have.

A few options to "do what we do", convert your Dish 6000 into a HD recorder to either your PC or D-VHS:

http://www.169time.com/
http://www.nextcomwireless.com/r5000/info.htm

These companies modify your receiver to provide either a usb or firewire interface to record the actual transport stream to your computer. Think about it, unlimited recording capacity! Just buy a new HD if you run out

Well, I just did my part and fired off a couple of emails about this. Did not know about it till today but I have been gone the last couple of weeks. Thanks for the info guys

As reported here at Sat guys first, hopefully this is just a oversight from Dish:

and I must add, do not touch the 169time stuff with a 10 foot pool, glitchy trash with horrid software, the Nextcom R5000-HD stuff makes it look like childs play

Nope, I know what I am sending my HD set. That is not what I am asking. It is what is the resolution my 811 is currently receiving.

I'm not surprised there has been no change to VOOM yet. Late changes like this take some time to implement. They may be in the process of changing the transponders on several channels. They don't have to change VOOM over to a higher resolution until all of the changes go into effect in January. Of course, it could happen at any point until then.
