I currently have two HD 811 receivers that I own. Should I go with the new HD receivers that Dish offers? I do subscribe to the HD package that was offered a year or two ago. Am I missing any HD channels because I own the 811?? Just wanted to get some advice first before I call Dish or look...

Thanks for all the comments, I will try some new things to see if it works. Yes, I am running P284 on the 811.

I currently have a 811 receiver which is hooked up (DVI) to a RCA HDTV television. I have noticed that when I switch from 480p to 1080i the picture color fades in and out (light to dark). If I switch back to the 480p then the color does not fade in and out. Any solutions to fix this problem??

Espn2 I cast my vote for ESPN2 in HD.

Thanks Many thanks! I am slowly learning.......I appreciate all the responses.

Went to antennaweb.org and found where all my local HD channels were. I have a couple of questions about my findings: 1) Currently, I have an indoor antenna hooked up and I am receiving a HD local channel that is 30.6 miles away. Why can't I receive a channel that is located less than 30...

Can anyone explain why DISH doesn't carry local channels on HD? Just curious since I can only get my locals on HD through OTA.

I currently have dish network, twin LNB, access to the cables from the attic, and wanting to run the cable to a downstairs room. I would like to know the best way to run the new cable to the room......how can I get it there without messing up insulation, etc......

Need some advice on the best way to run some new cable wire (RG-6). I want to run the new wire from the satellite to a downstairs bedroom that has the basic tv cable installed. Any help would be much appreciated!

Simon Looking at the picture, the back of it does look like I have a twin, but I know a twin would not have four cables coming out of it, or would it? Since I have four cables coming out of the LNBF then I am wondering why it would not show on my check switch. I appreciate all the responses...

???? You got me Goose......I moved into this house with a dish already in place with four wires coming out of the LNBF and running into the attic. Is that typical?

Goose I have four wires and no switch so I am assuming I have a Quad. I only have one receiver hooked up and the cable runs straight from the dish to the receiver. Soon, I will hook up another receiver to another room so I guess all I would have to do is run one of the other cables to the...

Simon and DP Logo What Simon stated: Note that for DishPro, you can tell a Twin vs. a Quad from a distance by looking at the DP logo. Black letters, no background is a Quad, Black background with white (gray) letters is a Twin. Looking at my DP Logo, I have a black background with white...

I have a Dish 500, with two eyes and four cables that are hooked up to the LNBF. This set up should be a Quad correct? When I check my set up on the menu it states that I have two connections but a Twin not a Quad. Can someone please explain this one to me?
