    Pixelation, Audio Problems, and Max Signal (Dish 500)

    I had a recent problem with this. All my receivers would pixelate, lost signal, audio problems but signal was great. Turned out to be my LNBF. I replaced it through DISH and no problem since.

    Head Unit Question

    Not sure... On all my kenwood head units, on the remote I have a button called direct (or select), and it allows me to enter the station number directly. As for the artist/album/song information, I don't know enough about the clarion to tell you..

    811 Receiver blank screen problem

    I have had this problem before, as well. A few days agao it started and happened twice within a couple days. Dish told me to reset the receiver. Haven't had it since those two episodes.. But, one time we got OTA and the other time we didn't... strange.

    Sirius?

    you could always try something like the Kenwood KVT-815DVD, but it might be a bit out of reach. I am getting mine installed today, but it's not a cheap investment.

    Zenith ZHD-TV1 Antenna

    I picked up a Philips amplified antenna for $16 at walmart and I get 90% signal. This is a small internal antenna and the cost couldn't be beat. I am about 32 miles from the transmission station...

    ISAT and Dishnetwork - possible?

    I believe if you are hoping for VPN connectivity, the satellite option isn't going to be very good. The latency issues will constantly create problems for the VPN software. There are companies out there offering fixed wireless services at reasonable rates. Here in Utah, I have no less than...

    A all-in-one remote

    do you know if it works with the UHF modes of the dish receivers? This is something I have been looking for, but the UHF remote is the killer..

    OTA locking worse since 265?

    I just got mine, so I can't compare... I am about 30-31 miles from the HD towers and I get a good 90% or better on mine... I have 265...

    No 811's available

    Well, I am happy to report, E* came through with me today. They installed it just the way I wanted it. As I only got the 811, I want to backfeed my 508 for recording from another TV (I currently feed my bedroom and gameroom off the same unit). I don't get the CBS-HD feed, as I only have a...

    Why do we stay with Dishnetwork????

    Well, I am waiting for my 811.. Hope my luck is better. :) I have been with E* simply because they have never failed to address my problems. I had a 501 that had problems (actually 2). My 4000 was a great reciever. I have had a bunch. The prices are reasonable. Every once in a while I...
