811 went waco....

811 went wacko....

Last night all of a sudden my 811 lost sat 110 & 61.5, still getting 119. Went through the whole process of rebooting, pulling the power, running check switch. When I run check switch it only sees 119.

Now at first thought one would think bad switch, but my 522 is getting all 3 sats so that rules that out. Anyway a call to D* tech support gets me a service call on Saturday.

I was just wondering if anyone else had any weird happen to their 811 in the last 24 hours or so?

Thanks,
Brian

Mine is OK... running Dpp44 switch with 921, 811, 2700 and 501...

If you have a Dpp 34 or 44 try unplugging power inserter as well as your 811...

"811 went Waco"

I thought that it holed itself up in his entertainment center and refused to come out.

I was hoping it had nothing to do with the gov't putting it under siege.

Oh yeah

How come you called D* and not E* support?

- Disconnect the satellite feed and run check switch, this will clear the switch matrix.
- Reboot the receiver by unplugging the power cord.
- Connect the satellite feed and run check switch again.

If you have a switch then try connecting the 811 to a different port at the switch.

I hit the wrong key, I should have said E*. OOPS!

Thanks for the info Randall, but I tried this before calling E*. This is very weird, I was watching Discovery HD when I got a message about signal loss. When I rebooted the receiver I got a message telling me to run a check switch.

Well I'm off to Philly for a few days, I'll let E* worry about it on Saturday.

Thanks for the help all!
