Fixed! HokieEngineer, your instructions and file worked great. Only took me about 15 minutes to get this fixed! Thanks a lot. Hopefully, it will stay that way for a while.

I haven't tried anything yet. I've been using Component with the DISH box which has a noticeably softer picture. I'll try to reprogram after the holidays. The weird thing is that the Benq projector recognizes my HD DVD player fine through the HDMI connection.

Oh well, it worked for one night and now it doesn't respond when using the DVI input. All the original errors are back. Next, I'll try to reprogram the EDID table and see if I can fix it that way.

Amazingly enough, I was poking around in the Diagnostics->Analysis->HDMI that you mentioned above writing down the error info so that I could talk to the DISH and Benq tech people when I noticed that it has a successful commuications try. I quickly switched over to the HDMI input and voila, it...

Same Issue Here! I can't believe I stumbled across your thread and I can't belive you figured it out. that is amazing. I had the same thing happen with my Benq 8700 and have spent a week or so going nuts trying to figure out whether it was the DISH box or the projector. After several...

I use a Home Theater Master MX-700 and it is great. Go to the Home Theater Master website or remotecentral.com and download the tutorial and the MX Editor. I control my 811 with it as well as all other equipment and lights. There is nothing that I have that it can't control. Macros are...

I don't seem to have this problem at all, at least not that I can tell. I have 3 outputs coming from my 811 - component and DVI to my BenQ 8700 projector and composite to a 20" TV. All look great to me, even on my 106" screen. The component and DVI settings are not identical, but since I can...

I haven't had a 510, but I have a 522 and have had zero issues with it. It has worked perfectly unlike my POS 811.

I'll add a couple major bugs with mine: 1) EPG will not load...period. Reboot, unplug, turn off. etc. and the EPG starts to load, stops par way through, times out, and kicks me back to a channel. I can repeat this until I'm blue in the face. 2) All my HD Dish channels lock up (picture...

Interesting. I compared my DVI and component outputs for HD on my 106" screen with BenQ 8700 projector, and I notice a pretty big difference with DVI. It is noticeable crisper and more 3D. I also noticed a big difference between setting the output to 1080i vs 720p. My BenQ is a 720p...

811 Issues I'm glad that I decided to go with the DHP, where I don't buy any equipment and I don't have any commitments. My 811 box is a piece of junk in my opinion and was shipped way before it should have been. Mine can't seem to successfully load the Program Guide. Most of the time...

I'm pretty happy with E* I just dumped Adelphia cable for Dish and so far, I'm pretty happy. The installer came when they said he'd come. He did a great job (although I pre-wired and helped quite a bit). Things worked pretty well right out of the box (811 and 522). SD looks decent on my...

I just installed Dish the other day with an 811. I get frequent audio and video lock ups where the picture just freezes and the audio goes away. It happens a lot on HBO HD. Tonight, while watching the Sopranos, it froze up on me 3 times. I have to change channels and then back again and it...
