rocketry Good to see rocketry is not dead yet. Good website

More BULL What a bunch of crap. Who gives a crap about the SD version when you have ANY HD pack you should get this channel. I dont know why I'm mad, I should have expected this from them. Same old, nickel and dime their customers to death. I wont pay.

Sorry about this and I know there have been a million posts on this, BUT, will Dish be getting Playboy in HD and anyone know how much if anything at all it will add to the HD package I have now???

No, I quess thats my answer. What about the info transmitted by the station itself. Any other way to see that??

Hey everyone, I searched around the forums for an answer but cant seem to find one. I have the 211. My OTA channels from Philly, guide does not display whats on like my old 811. Any ideas??

I have had Dish for 6 month and was having a lot of trouble. After posting several threads trashing the 811 I thought it would be fair to say somthing good now. Ever since the last update I have not seen acquiring signal, no waiting to watch TV, great OTA reception and channel surfing has gotten...

Sony LCD You make a good point. I did see my cable hooked up with DVI connector and the SD channels were much clearer. Even when I hook directly to the cable, without the digital box the picture is much better. This is true even for my 32" Sony wega. The Grand Wega TV has a remarkable picture...

Sony HD Great choice in TV. I have the Sony Grand Wega 60 without the HD Tuner. The answer to your question is NO. The tuner in the TV is for OTA broadcast signals. Thats what no one at the store tells you. You don't need the tuner built in if your hooking to cable or a satalite receiver. They...

Go cable I am glad to see I'm not the only one thinking this way. The PQ on Dish sucks campared to my RCN cable. By all the hype I thoght the picture would improve, wrong! It looks like mush. Even the HD is better on cable. I however am stuck with Dish another 8 months. RCN announced that it...

811 I agree with you. I will be dropping E completly the minute my 1 year is up. I use the 811 for OTA and have nothing but problems. The latest is when I what OTA for more than an hour, if I go back to dish the screen is black and I have to reboot. This sucks.here is what happened the other...

set up My set up has nothing on or under my 811. I have the sony Grand Wega and the stand is wide open front and rear. No heating problems that I can see. Thanks

Thanks Thanks for the feedback guys. I am calm now. haha, I have to reboot almost every night if I surf between OTA and Sat. It's just frustrating. I have 2 other recievers, 322 and NEVER had a problem. Maybe I am being unfair calling it a piece of crap but it would seem to me I should be...

me too I have had that problem on and off. I have seemed to just except the fact that the 811 is a piece of junk

Does anyone NOT have problems. This is bull, The 811 is a piece of crap. You have to know all these "tricks" just to get it to work. If I see "acquiring signal" one more time I am going to trash this thing. If the OTA is working, I don't dare channel surf. If you do one thing wrong, it locks up...
