Cholly.......Question for you. I have a Panny DVD recorder. I've had good results recording HDTV to the DVD Recorder when the channel is in 1080i format. However, when I record a channel broadcasting in 720p, the picture looks like crap...its full of pixelation and jagged lines. I've...

Yeah...the 811 was fine for me until the 2.82. Now, i'm up to about 10 lockups since it downloaded. Ridiculous.

Nippjas...thanks for the message. If a memory dump is that risky, then perhaps I'll just wait for the next update and that might help.

Snathan..that's the same thing that's been happening to me.

I reset to factory default...but it froze again. The lock always happens when I'm scrolling through OTA channels. Then the receiver automatically resets...and then it goes through the "Acquiring Satellite" signal page for about a minute. Then I'm back on. WHat a pain.

Thanks...I'll try the factory default. This is really getting ridiculous...since I updated to 2.82, the machine has frozen about 6 times tonight. I know what a memory dump is in general (especially from computers), but I'm not sure how to initiate it on a machine like this. I'll try the...

Sorry..I'm a newbie. How do you put the receiver on a UPS? How do I dump the memory?

YUP>>>this 2.82 crap is causing me to have hard lockups in the OTA. Now, the machine reboots itself...never did that before. It keeps happening way too much...fck@@!!

269 helped the dark video issue. It does look better now and I'm very happy for it. But, its killed my OTA of WABC here in NY. I live in Long Island and used to get WABC at 80% rock solid. Right after getting the 269 I'm down to 59-60% and choppy video. The weird thing is..my other...

Thanks Keith...hopefully the 269 will fix this problem once and for all. Forgive my ignorance, but what does legacy mean and what is Dishpro equipment? (by the way, the guy I talked to said he could hook me up with a 921 because he had some in the warehouse in Colorado. To me, if you...

Lmao :)

I talked to someone high up at DISH today. They said the 269 is out in mid-July..very soon. It's supposed to fix the dark crap. They fully acknowledge the issue. The guy said if I'm unsatisfied with the 269 fix, he will send me a model 6000 with the OTA tuner card. Do you guys think that...

Thanks John Doe..thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I'm not having luck. When I view the 811 signal through my s-video on the TV, for some reason the picture adjustment won't work (so its hard to see if I can adjust it). Only when I view the 811 directly connected to my TV does the picture...

Enforcer...1080i gets downconverted through my s-video output into the Panny e-80. It still looks fabulous. It records in perfect 16:9 format...I just have to adjust the zoom settings on my HDTV when I play the content and it fills the screen perfectly with no stretching. There is some slight...

Guys...when I use Panasonic dvd recorder to record from the 811, I can record 1080i HD with really great quality (aside from the darkness issue crap). However, when I try to record HD in 720p (ESPN and ABC), my picture has tons of jagged lines and is fuzzy. Is that because the s-video can't...
