I have had a 211 for a while now and most of the problems I had seem to have been corrected, but I still occasionally experience the following. I have a DVD recorder hooked up to the analog output. I use this to record dish shows and OTA when I'm already recording OTA on my DVR. Anyway, I set...

It removed the OTA local guide info that L3.41 had put on. That's the only difference I see.

When dish installed release L3.41 on the 211, it accidently 'I assume, provide the OTA local guide data. When they upgraded to L3.42, they corrected this. There must have been something wrong with L3.42 because after a day or 2 they went back to L3.41. This week they installed L3.43 and the...

I concur. I live in Fishers and have one of these in my attic. Get great OTA reception. The Channel Master 4228 is avaialble at Fry's electronics at the 96th street exit off of I69. You'll still be able to record OTA on your DVR with no problem.

I have had my 211 replaced once so far. The new unit was much better. Release 2.67 was great. I had no problems. When they put up 2.68 I again started having problems with audio synch, but only on one channel, TNTHD. Somtimes it is worse than others. The problem is not only on the TOS cable...

If I'm not mistaken, they tried to merge a few years back and the Justice Dept said no. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. This was just about the time we started to get locals.

I had had my vip211 changed out a few weeks back and everything was running great on 2.66. They loaded the 2.67 software and now the lip synch issue is back, worse than ever. I tried rebooting and I also tried unplugging it for 5 minutes and booting. While it makes it slightly better, it isn't...

I have a Sony stand alone DVR that records OTA HD Digital with great results. Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore. You can check Best Buy as they have been having a close out on them for while. I have also seen them eslwhere. They come in 250 and 500GB models. Here's a link to the 500gb...

Once you have had dish, you are no longer and can never be a true "new" customer. I just resubscribed after a 4 year abscence to the hd package. I ordered online using the ordering system. There was one page that promised a $49.99 credit on installation if you sign up for 18 months. $50 being...

I got mine at Wal-Mart. It was the Targus brand and it was $24. It has 2 fans that run very quite. At first I didn't even think they were running. You can see a description here. http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=PA248U Works very well.

I have the usb port on my 211 and have a laptop cooler plugged into it. The receiver is in a cabinet and runs very warm. The cooler helps considerably. I know it's not an application, but since you asked.

I have L2.66 and still have the problem with lip synch, especially on TNTHD. I called them last night to try this and they said they are still working on the synch problems and are aware that L2.66 did not fix everyone. I don't understand why it would fix one and not another. Other than...
