Similar situation here, my 811 is still going strong. This is most likely your problem.

I had the exact same problem occur roughly 2 weeks ago, i thought it was just dish interference but the problem got worse. I called Dish and had to initiate the $5.99 monthly warranty plan, and pay $29.95 for a technician visit. After testing the signal he discoverd that my 522 player was the...

I recently upgraded to a 522 in my bedroom, which is on the other side of the wall where my 811 sits. Whenever someone controls the 522 in the bedroom, it also affects the 811. Is there a remedy for this?

If it's been longer than a year since you took advantage of any offer then you DO qualify for the 522. I had to speak to three different CSRs before i found on who knew what he was talking about. To upgrade to the 522 it'll cost you $99($49 upgrade+$50 installation), installation is mandatory...

Wouldn't name based recording remedy that issue?

That's a horrible comparison.

That sucks. What if i don't have a phone line in the room with the 522?

I'm having a 522 installed on Sunday. Now, if i run a long telephone line to the 522 when it's activated for the first time can i later remove it and still avoid having to pay $5 per month for not having it connected to a phone line?

Well here's my upgrade story: I ordered a 510 thas part of the "Dishing it up" promotion, paid $25 and was able to keep my old receiver. Called earlier this afternoon to inquire about the 522, got a CSR who obviously throws out all Dish related memos, as he had absolutely no idea about any...

I just ordered teh 510 receiver last week and was wondering if (until i get a 522) i can use my current receiver, hook it up to the 510 and be able to view a channel other than the one being recorded? I'm pretty sure this would mean i'll have to pay an additional receiver fee, correct?

I must have one of the few decent 811 units then. I've only had to reboot it maybe 3 times in the last 8 months.

Well, it was announced for Direct TV, so i was hoping for some good news for us E* subscribers.

Is this channel coming to E*'s HD pack soon?

When viewing the guide i usually keep it on "Sub. Channels". After d/l-ing the new update my sub list only shows informarcial channels, and other commercial channels. Anyone else notice this?

Yes, both receivers are gicing me problems.
