    Can we show some love for the 811?

    I totally agree with everything you said. But! If we would only lower our expectations we wouldn't be so disappointed. :rolleyes: :D :D

    Can we show some love for the 811?

    Well, maybe you bought the 811 for only viewing HD but I bought it so I could connect it to my TIVO, get the digital OTA and for HD viewing. I thought when I got the unit it had all these capabilities. The dark picture issue and the 49% OTA problem are real issues for me and others. Since 70%...

    811 Dark S-video Fix

    Interesting because my DVI and S-Video seem brighter. As a matter of fact I had to adjust the TV's brightness down to 75% from 100% when using DVI. S-Video still requires 100% but seems brighter than before the update. Seems there are a lot of differing opinions on what the upgrade did to the...

    stop complaining, it will not get us anywhere

    I would like to complain about your complaining about the amount of complaining that people are complaining about complaining. :D

    Can the HD Directivo be so compelling as to break your loyalty to Dish?

    Me too. No doubt about it!

    New Software upgrade for 811

    I have been trying to fix the 49% problem with antenna improvements. I installed a Radio Shack 160" 57 element antenna. No fix. The next week I had a Radio Shack 15-1109 antenna mounted pre amp installed. No fix. Then the following week I had a channel master antenna rotor installed. No...

    Canceling Dish and Moving to...?

    I thought the hardware was supposed to work? Shouldn't the contract be void if the hardware doesn't work as advertised? Is Dish immoral enough to ruin someone's credit for canceling a contract that includes hardware that doesn't work, if they don't pay the penalty?

    Suggestion for Dish Network

    Scott, it's too bad Dish can't get their act together. What a disaster! So, I guess the customers will be screwed? And, I bet their dealers aren't real happy at this point either.

    Anyone keep a list of 811 flaws, and when they will be corrected?

    For # 6 in your list try the (*) ("format button") on the lower left of the remote. The stretch mode doesn't work as well as my Samsung panorama mode but it does get rid of the black bars. The bad news is: As far as the a lot of the other stuff on your list is concerned there's a bunch of us...

    OTA 49% is not a problem with 811!

    I agree that it could be either of those things. I'l try your suggestions. Although, when the antenna guy installed my pre amp he tweaked it for the best analog picture.

    OTA 49% is not a problem with 811!

    Well, I got my antenna rotor installed this week so now I feel I can comment on the 40% issue. I have a Radio Shack 160" 57 element antenna (probably not the best but should be sufficient). I also have the Radio Shack 15-1109 antenna mounted pre amp and the rotor is the channel master model #...
