    Dish customer service - worst I have seen it.

    Wow, my experience is very simular to TowJumper's. Last Monday evening (22 DEC), the installer called to say he was on the way. Great! After two reschedules, I was finally going to get HD! I moved my heavy RP TV and entertainment center out and waited. No show. I called the...

    811 and Pronto help

    Does the Dish 6000 have descrete on and off? My 501 doesn't and I am hoping that the 811 does. I think that the easiest way to copy learned codes over is to: -delete all extraneous devices/macros from the host ccf -merge the two ccf's togeather -bring up the devices that you want to copy...

    Replacement Remote Recommendations

    I have & would recommend a Phillips Pronto 1000 if you are proficient with computers. Phillips no longer makes the 1000. It has been superceded by the 2000 and 3500. So, you should be able to pick up a used one for well under $100. The power of Prontos over other programables is its...

    811 INSTALL SUGGESTIONS

    My Mits can use both 720p and 1080i. However, which one provides the best PQ. I guess I'll know for myself in another week or so.

    811 INSTALL SUGGESTIONS

    Right, I forgot about that. However, if the 811 is suppose to output SD and HD simultaneously, why aren't the component outs hot? You can't output HD with S-Video, can you?

    811 INSTALL SUGGESTIONS

    I don't understand. Why would you want to use S-Video over component and optical outputs?

    Newbie Question. 811 input to Denon A/V Receiver

    Video signal is degraded, but some would rather have the convenience. It is not any more convenient for those with programable remotes, though.

    811 & 522 hooked up

    Did you use S-Video cable from your 522 to your 811? Is the PQ better with it converted through your 811?

    Dish Answers your 811 Questions

    That's right! I've gotten alot of my codes from there. Do you know if the 6000 has descrete on/off? That's the one thing I hate about my 501.

    FLASH: Dish 811 now $199 for Existing Customers!

    Re: Called Dish for 811 Deal This is what I did: I finally got "a" $149 deal, but it wasn't easy. When the second CSR said that I wasn't authorized to get the promo (I was authorized for $199 811 plus $100 for a second dish & installation), I asked to talk to her Super. The Super...

    Dish Answers your 811 Questions

    I'm not certain I understand what a "Blue Button" remote is. Will I be able to use my 501 remote to teach my Pronto 811 functions? What about the discrete on/off functions that the 501 lack?

    Dish 811 for $149

    I was told this mornng that I did not qualify for a 811 for $149. It would cost me $199, plus $100 for a new dish and installation, if I signed up for the HD channels and credit card auto pay. The CSR told me that some people qualified for the $149 promo, but not me. She said that she didn't...

    Dish 811 for $149

    Can anyone provide details of this so-called promotion? Will it include a second dish and installation if required? Also, has anyone broken the code on getting good information from Dish CSRs? I spoke to one of the legions of clueless CSRs today. She didn't know anything about this 811...
