This is a known problem. My 811 does the same thing every now and then. I called the Tech, they told me the simpliest work around is : 1. Unplug the 811 2. Unplug all other receivers you may have 3. Wait for 10 minutes 4. Plug the 811 back 5. On 811 go check switch (somewhere in...

POS 811 is acting up again. This time it going through the acquiring signal screen and never does lock in. I'm in Los Angeles area, sat 119, transponder 11. Already call tech support - no help. They want to charge me $29 to send someone out to check the cabling. I know it not the cables, it...

yup...Dish doesn't even come close to PQ of what Voom was...:rolleyes: With the $60 per month ($700 / year) savings once I cancel Dish, I'm building a nice HTPC :D

...living with just OTA for now. I've been having lots of problems with my 811 (constantly losing signal, local channels intermittently disappearing, slow interface). Now with the price increase and I'm force to shell out more $$ if I want new HD channels, just drove me mad:mad: Heck, I...

For the last couple days everytime I turn on 811 in my bedroom it would go straight to "acquiring signal" then try to download PG but it just sit for about 5 minutes and never download anything then goes back to "acquring signal". :mad: I have factory reset twice and hard boot twice...nothing...

Yes, same address. It the same address on the return portion I always used. Ack, I call them to resolve this...

I mailed out my final Voom check for $81.37 on 6/21. Today 7/7 it return to me with "Moved, Left no address." Is it my responsiblility to seek out Voom for the final payment? If I don't pay, will it adversely affect my credit? :confused:

I'm tired of dealing with the constant hangs and glitches :mad: . My 811 hangs at least twice a week requiring hard reboot. I have software 287. It seems to occur more frequently if I turn the unit off at night, but it randomly occur when unit is on as well. It seems every time I turn it on...

I lost KTLA today. Yes ABC is back on 007-1. I'm getting 85% + on all OTA. Oh well, I'll just change my favorite to 0031-1 until they move it back. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, I'm in LA area. Any ideas how we can get KTLA and ABC back? Should I call Dish to exchange for another 811?

My 811 receiver is buggy. Locks up constantly when changing channel. For example I press 007 to go to ABC, it locks up, blank screen. I then have to reboot the damn thing. And once it comes back my ABC station is gone. :mad: Now the same thing just happen to channel 5 (WB). Any advice...

Just got Voom today. Technician arrived a couples hours late but he did a great job, actually 3 technicians did the install. Took them only about 1 hour to mount dish and program the 3 receivers. Although 2 of the receivers he intially tried were bad, the third worked like a charm! I'm...
