SW Ver L 2.64
Dish Set up- DP-44 110, 119 & 61.5. Rcvrs- 508, 811 & 411.
Connection: Optical and Component (411)
Desc. of bug: Video loss but keep audio. Reset 411 receiver and works fine, until next time. Happens daily for three weeks now, reported to dish. Experience this video loss while switching back from watching a OTA channel. Dish is not charging 411 receiver fee for the next two months for this problem.
OTA Antenna: Can't recall brand but its new and works for locals.
I was about to post this, but decided to check thread first.
Same issue with Vip211
I find that it seems to happen on UHD. The picture freezes and stops. If I try to change the channel the picture disappears. I still get the OSD and can bring up the guide.
Only a reboot will cure.
Now, as an aside, my STB has been modified for the R5000HD. They attach to the elemental feeds of audio and video. This continues to operate properly though the STB video output to the TV is Fubah.
Thus this is an issue in their circuit that outputs to the TV...not on the receive sit.
Simply stated, they have almost the same issue with the 6000s of the picture freezing after an error that their output cannot handle and have never fixed it in years. A simple channel change unfreezes the picture and brings the audio back in sync on the STB output.
As the 6000 has been out for years and is still not correctly, I fear this is a design flaw that will NEVER be corrected
That scares me even more as now a reboot is needed instead of a channel change which corrected it with the 6000.

Software version: L 2.64
Dish setup: D1000 to 411 and 311
Description of Bug: OTA channels freeze frame and it takes a re-boot to cure it. It happened worse last night and with all OTA channels than anytime during the last two weeks.
OTA Antenna: Radio Shack outdoors and Channel Master 7777 preamp
I believe this is the same error we are speaking of. Do you loose video all together if move channel up or down? Does OSD work fine while no video?
Again, this is their out circuit when it gets hits an error. Did the same thing in the Dish 6000. However, now it requires a reboot to fix.

Just got my 211 about 2 weeks ago, and here's what I've seen so far:
Software version: Will check at home tonight and update
Dish setup: SW64 switch--119, 110, 129 (New HD dish)
Description of bug: Picture freeze/slowdown; sound "pixelated"
OTA Antenna: Philips interior powered antenna
Main issue I've seen occurs mostly at night. The picture will freeze up, or actually move in slow motion. And it occurs on every channel, not just the HD channels.
Again, I think we are all talking the same issue of how their output circuit reacts when their is an error in their signal.
