MIL says they did ask, and she did say she was moving, and they told her to return the equipment. She says she specifically asked if she could take it along, and they said it had to be returned.

I'll check and see if they gave a SSN first time around. I don't know if the CSR asked why. If they didn't maybe we can leverage that to get a deal.

And have moved east. They did not use the Dish Mover program. Now Dish wants to charge them both for installation and for a whole new system since they are "existing customers." Partner mentioned the former customer situation when she called. As I remember, it was a combination of...

Thanks for the quick reply mdwatt. I'll do just that.

So I bypassed the switch and indeed, the even tp channels on 119 were still out. However we noticed that they come back in in the evening. In fact, after a few weeks of observing, when the temp. outside gets to 75-80, the even tp channels come back. Now, I have a Superdish with 110/119/105. I...

Verizon dug up my street last week laying the Fios cable. I'm crossing my fingers for quick service offerings. I've been with Dish since '96. When they pulled my local listings from the 811, that washed it for me. I'll get broadband (vs. dialup), as many channels SD, and enough HD to interest...

Thanks a lot for the info guys ! I'll try the switch bypass as you suggested. Just happen to have an inline connector handy. Enjoy your holiday !

Sitting here today and ESPN just went away and got the "lost satellite" message. Tried a 1-finger front panel salute, unplugged the unit for about a minute, did some check switch operations. Some clouds today, but this has been going on now for 4+ hours (no rain and not even "heavy" overcast)...

Based on when it was introduced, I'd say 2nd or 3rd gen. I just picked up a new Samsung ATSC tuner. OMG. It locks even the weakest signals instantaneously. I wish I had stopped f*ing with the 811 much sooner. The Samsung is using the 5th gen chipset.

So I discovered. I told my roommate to answer NO to the update question. I was at 3.82. Next thing I know, like a day or two later she calls all apologetic. Didn't think she hit the Yes button to the update, but the local guide data was gone. They just rammed the update into the box. Not...

Omg. I'm so glad I stopped here to see the story with this update before accepting it. It will never go onto my box. Come on FIOS. They're digging in my neighborhood, but are still several blocks away ....

Well, I don't much care for some of the limitations of the 211, and don't intend to pay the requested gouge for a 622. So I intend to be the last 811 sub in existence :)

If you have moved the receiver or even anything in the room it could have caused interference. Try changing the position of the remote antenna in small increments. I had to finally make mine about 15° in order to get it to receive properly.

I have the same setup. I agree. Mind-blowing.

Comcast. Now there's a big improvement in customer service. Heheheheheh.

I set the prefs to "ask my permission before updating." Last night it asked permission. I selected "cancel." So, does anyone know what the difference between declining ("no") the update and cancelling the update is? (This is on an 811 ....)

If you connect the appropriate antenna to the (HD)TV, then of course you get HD locals provided your local broadcasters are sending out HD. If you output from the tv to the 522, or connect the antenna to the 522, you can't even tune HD channels on the 522. The 522 would not "pass through" HD...

Well Jerry, my guide gets corrupted almost daily. This requires a reboot to fix. I have had this box 20 months, and with all the previous versions, the most I had to reboot was maybe once every 3 weeks. Now we're down to about every other day. Does that clarify "piece of crap" any better?

Not to worry folks. I got a response from Dish to my email. They are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. Whew. Now I can sleep at night.

Dam ... I never got 2.84 ... what was before that? I think 2.82? That was the most stable, least requiring of reboots for me.

I wish I had done the same as you. When I get home I am setting my box to "ask permission before installing." 2.89 is a piece of crap, keep it off your box as long as you possibly can !!

I am dismayed by Dish's continual f'ing up of the 811. I have tried to be patient. I have tried to be an adult about this. But 2.89 is THE WORST YET. This box is now working worse than at any point in the 20 months or so I have had it. The f'ing guide is getting corrupted every couple of...

Yes, thanks for remembering the *point* of the thread WJD. I always had rare jumping video on HD channels only ... and all I can remember for sure is Discovery HD. It was maybe once every 2 weeks, and would only happen maybe once or twice. A channel up/channel down cycle fixed it (now that I...

Please, just can it. I don't care what you think about it and no one else does either. I just mentioned the show/network in case anyone else observed the same thing at the same time.

Thanks Gary !! If I can't catch a rebroadcast I'll jot you an email or pm.
