The Dish Network website shown 2.89 as the only software for the 811. I can't get mine to download 2.89 It still has 2.84 Any suggestions?

I went through the same experience. The problem is the you need the right two lines from the quad, not just any two lines. The quad when connected to the DP34 does not transmit 119 and 110 down each feed. When connected to the switch it only transmits 119 down one feed and 110 down another...

Many of us miss the detailed forum on the 921. Please bring it back.

How do you add OTA to the SW34 switch?

Well, I just had my 61.5 installed for the Voom channels. The installer removed the Dishpro Quad I had for 110/119 and replaced it with a Dishpro Twin and used a Dish 500 with a Dishpro Dual for 61.5. He also added a DP 34 switch. The system works fine, but I do have a question. Why was the...

The answer is that the Direct Tv LNB's are compatible with LEGACY Dish network switches. THe Dish Pro LNB's use something called stacking, I think, and are not compatible with the LEGACY LNBS. Also you can use the power inserter, because the SW64 won't work without it. The SW64 is a legacy...

Many of us long time E* subs noticed that on the 811, the DVI connection outputs a washed out picture. Use the component out and you will notice a very good picture. This problem with the 811 relates back to when E* was adjusting the black levels. They never got the DVI right. The DVI...

What Satellite Will This Be On? Does 110 Have Any Room?

Well, its not only the box, its the whole Dish Network package. When I first got Dish in early 97, I was so excited. There were so many channels, and the quality was nearly DVD. Each month, I looked forward to the Charlie Chat because new channels were being announced (not locals or foreign...

This is a known--and frustrating bug. L212 was supposed to cure this problem. Oh well.

The problems with the 921 continue unabated and are now worse. After taking the latest software, the 921 timers do not work. When the timer fires, an error message comes up stating something like--channel blacked out, unauthorized, or gone." Further, on the OTA channels, if the 921...

There is no partial zoom on the 921. If they told you it was a software "problem" they were wrong. Of course, they could program they software to do it, but they have not.

If a TV has an HDMI port, does that mean it is necessarily HDMI compliant?

Yes. The 540p looks blurrier than 720p. The 1080i through the component blows both 540p and 720p away in my opinion. And, I guess i'm still a little confused about why the tv can display 1080i through component but not DVI. Thanks.

Thanks, but why can't the tc display 1080i with the DVI connection?
