As of 3:00 pm (CDT) I am now receiving Sirius on my 811. :)

I just received the following email from D* after writing to ceo@dishnetwork.com and asking when the new software release for the 811 will be released. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis, Thanks for your email; Dish Network is aware of the...

Guderian, I too have have lost CBS channel 11 from the guide. I did a rescan, and like you, it comes up as 19-01. It looks like the channel mapping is messed up. It use to map OK prior to this new release.

Just received 2.62 sw upgrade for 811 Just received sw upgrade for my 811. It looks like software release 2.62 has corrected the aspect ratio problem (gray bar, stretch, partial zoom, full zoom). It also looks as though my OTA channels are registering a stronger signal than before. I will check...

Sorry to belabor this subject, but I have tuned in to all the High Definition channels and watched them for several hours ever since I had my receiver installed on Saturday. I still have not received any closed captioning on any of the HD channels, just on the SD. So does this mean that...

sorry - double post

Here are my list of 811 issues. My 811 also suffers from a Dark Picture on all outputs The program guide still only displays about 3 hours of programming. Closed Captioning does not seem to work on HD channels broadcasting an HD program. At times closed captioning is displayed so...

I lost CBSHD-NY and the Demo channel. Did a reset and they both reappeared. It has only happened to me once so far.:? BTW - I checked these same channels on my 6000 and they were both there. They were only missing from the 811.

I just received and had my 811 installed this afternoon. Two of the reasons why I purchased the 811 was due to its discounted price ($149) and the closed captioning feature. :D I have 2 hearing impaired teenagers and this makes CC a needed and valuable option. Does anyone know whether or...

I too just had a great experience with a Dish CSR. I was able to receive the 811 at the $149 price because I was considered an exclusive customer. No commitment. An Installer is coming this Saturday to install it. I was also told that the tax on this unit would appear on my next bill.

I enrolled in the $1.99 a month warranty program just last month and what is now being stated on the E* website is not the warranty program I know I signed up for. It has definitely changed. :x Also, when you sign up for the warranty plan they are requiring a 12 month commitment. $1.99 a...

Has anyone expiernced the following problem with their 6000 receiver? I am wanting to do some individual channel locking, but when I access the channel locking menu it blanks out and the "aquiring satellite" screen appears for about 30 seconds and then I am returned to the channel I was...

Ordered the 6000u on Friday 9/19 and it was installed on Monday 9/22. It did not include the 8VSB module. The installed receiver was a refurbished unit. The label on the box stated as such. Called E* on Wednesday 9/24 and ordered the free 8VSB module. UPS tracking says it will be here by Friday...

I have been a customer with E* for 5 years and have subscribed to the AT150 package and locals for 2 years.

I ordered the 6000 yesterday and because I was considered an "Exclusive Customer" it only cost me $149. It is to be installed on Monday. I was on the phone with the CSR for 40 minutes arguing that some customers were receiving the 8VSB module when they paid for a full year of the new HD package...
