Hi, I have a antenna on my roof that i have hooked up to the Antenna input of both my 811 and 510. My 811 has the option of scanning local channels.. and i watch some of the OTA HD channels via this box. But my 510 doesn't seem to have an option for watching OTA channels. is this...

got the same deal.. $79 to upgrade my 311 to a 510. no additional costs as long as i return the 311. ($99 is the cost when they send u someone to ur home to install it. ) They actually didn't ask me to sign up for AutoPay. I waited until the 510 arrived. but no one charged additional...

same here.. I am still not able to use my 811 remote to control anything other than the 811. My 510 receiver on the other hand can control the 811.. which is why i wanted to interfchange them to see if i can use my 811 remote which has UHF Pro to control my 510 receiver which is 1 floor away...

Hi, just received the 510 PVR as an upgrade ($79) to my previous 311. the letter that came with it just says put the previous receiver back in the same box, put the pre-paid UPS label and send it back. no mention about cables/remotes. Can i hold on to them ? can use them as spares.. esp...

Hi, Dish folks had come to install my dish 2 days back. but i wanted to change some wiring around and move my TV to another room. Since i have taken only 2 receivers (811 and 311), and there are 4 receivers support in the switch, i didn't disconnect the original rg6 cable that...

Hmm.. is that true for all their receivers and remotes ? cause right now.. i haven't yet upgraded.. and i have the 311 next to the 811. and the 311 remote is changing the 811. how do i change the remote address ?
