    Cablevision DVR not recording scheduled shows

    It all depends if the record-flag was setup correctly. Sometimes, the flag says that a new show is a rerun. To prevent that from preventing you to record, set your DVR to record the show: 'On this channel this day on this time slot' Franzius

    Cablevision DVR not recording scheduled shows

    There is a flag that every Show carries that determines whether a customer can record it or not. That flag may not have been set to allow you to record. An other possibility is that the show that you attempted to record was a rerun and you specified that you wanted to record first-run show only.

    Stephen King Future Projects

    I am currently listening to 'Cell' as an Audible book. It's very similary to The Stand except for one key aspect which i will not spoil. I have found it a lost easier to listen to books instead of reading them. That makes my daily 2 hour commute a lot more productive.

    Diplexing OTA channels to a Dish 921

    Here is my current setup. I have an antenna in my attic, its output goes thru a preamp into a diplexer outside of the house (close to the roof). The diplexer other input is the #1 output of a SW64 switch. The output of the first diplexer runs to the grounding block (basement level)...

    New 811 Software P3.30

    I have lost all my OTA channels with the 3.30 release. The 3.00 was pretty bad too, but 3.30 is the worst release so far. My OTA channels can't lock up regardless of the signal strength. the signal strength meter goes from 0 to 49 to 83, 80, 71 and back to 49 in less than 2 seconds.There is no...

    811 - P2.89 Release Notes

    Is it me who has been clueless about this feature or did Dish just implement the 'Search Function' on the 811 using the pound key (#) ? Franzius

    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    I had the same hassle with the CSR I got. He argued fror like 5 minutes that I was not an HD subscriber. He even read my monthly bill and couldnot see the info that I had HD since day 1. E* needs to do a better job training their people. They also need to add the sport channelt o the mix.

    Channel Surf Reboot Bug

    The only common thread is the difficulty the 811 seems to have with showing all OTA channels correctly. If one were to watch only the satellite channels, one will no longer experience BSOD.. Franzius

    (Updated) Replies to your questions from Dish

    Hey Scott, Good effort at damage control !!! However, there is one item that remains unanswered and that is whether E* will provide additional HD programming or not PRIOR to the migration to MPEG4. If the answer is No then this is a total rebuke of Charlie's slogan of E* being the...

    No picture on 811

    Tom, This problem has been rearing its ugly head ever since software update 2.80. The only solution to date is a hard reboot. The Black Screen Of Death (BSOD) appears when one navigates repetitively from the OTA channels to the satellite channels. Press and hold the 'ON' button for...

    HD installed next week, anything I need to know?

    Keith, Let's see it I understand what you are trying to do. You want to be able to use the 811 for both HD and OTA signals. That's doable. You can use the output of 811 into 1 TV input. The 811 will manage both signals (Sat and OTA). Next you want to use the 721 with a cable signal thru a...

    Moving to NJ for summers

    How many dishes are you using? You will need one dish 500 to get 110 & 119, and another regular dish to get 61.5. You can't get all 3 sattelites from 1 dish.

    Rumor: Dish close to adding YES

    My only question would be: How much will DISH/YES charge us for that channel. For me, the YES channel is more appealing than the MLB channel, but, I won't get it if the price is prohibitive. I have learned the last 2 years that I can survive the Yankees not being on TV. Every year the...

    811 HD/SD auto switching???

    I think that the 811 can detect the kind of signal that it's getting. For example I have a toshiba 65HX81 and I have set the 811 to stretch the SD signals but not the HD signals. When I go from an SD station to an HD station, the stretched picturel is displayed as 'normal'. When I go back to an...

    811 vs 6000

    I only use component out with my 811. Maybe that's the reason why I dont experience any 'dark' problem.

    811 vs 6000

    MR DRC, What version of the firmware is running on the 811? The latest version , P263, has corrected the 'dark' problem. Franzius
