Wow, no one sees anything that they like on the new channels? I was just cruising through and happened to stop on MHD. I really had no expectation of liking the channel considering that some of the stuff was supposed to come from MTV. I landed on a concert with The Who. It looked gorgeous to me...

I saw the pixellation on OTA on L4.05 when I had it the first time. It went away on all but channel 11 (local CBS affiliate) when we got L4.09. Now that we rolled back to L4.05 it is back on OTA again. I thought from what I read that the rollback was to fix some HDMI problems. I saw very few...

I sent my rebate in Jan 20 and checked the site about 2 weeks ago and it said it was being refused because I didn't send in my statement after the upgrade. I thought they wanted the first bill that showed the upgrade not the first bill immediately following the upgrade. Alaso, the message said...

That audio dropout also occurs on live OTA. I have experienced it both with the 811 and the 622. It usually happens once per hr and lasts about 5 secs or so. I thought it was our local ABC affiliate that had the problem. I had not heard a lot of other people in other cities say they had the...

I have had the audio dropouts on KTRK since my 811 days OTA. I don't have the HD LiL with dish. I believe it is a problem with the signal KTRK is sending out. My 622 does the same thing. If it doesn't happen on other recievers then it is some sort of incompatibility with the Dish receivers (or...

I haven't had to reboot for the EPG but I have seen that 3.37 seems to get lost when you have spent a long time on the OTA side. When you go back to sat it causes the receiver to go through acquiring satellite and it then it downloads the guide. Also, in the process of trying to resolve the...

I had 3.35 prior to 3.37 and it did NOT have the problem. It appears that it only affects the OTA channels for me. The sat channels stretch just like they always have. Mike

Well, new to my 811 with the 3.37 download is the screwup of the 811's stretch modes. It worked fine before I took the download and today when you press the Page Up key on the remote when it enters stretch mode it shifts the image to the right of the screen. It actually shoves part of the...

Looks like it has been a while since anyone has updated this thread. I got my 811 Feb of 2004. I'm still at 284 but I have mine set to ask for permission before downloading. I got a request a couple of weeks ago for it (probably 285) and I told it no. I was getting ready to watch a show coming...

Bobby Yeah, I turned the 811 off with the remote last night and when I turned it on this evening it did not ask again. n0qcu that sounds like a good thing to try. I'll set the accept update automatically and when it cycles back around maybe it will take it. Then I can set it back to ask...

I got offered 284 yesterday and decided not to take it because of the problems 282 caused. I wanted to wait and see if others were going to have problems. today I turned the receiver on and did NOT get offered the upgrade. I guess if you don't take it when it gets offered then you get put at...

Here's my situation. 1) What is your boot version. LADD??? LABD?? < Boot: 1013LADD Software: P282LADD-N > 2) How long have you had your 811? < About 8 months > 3) Any major stability issues since you had your 811? < Rare BSOD. Biggest problem was whenever I tuned to my...

It might be a channel that is off the air or one that is weak. My local PBS station falls under that category. It used to take a long time(5+ minutes) to lock on it. One of the updates had it popping in within a sec or 2. The releases since seem to make it take longer and longer and now 282...

EPG has stopped working I went ahead and took the upgrade last week and everything seemed to work fine. This week funny things have started showing up. The EPG sounded great but it looks like all they are doing is passing the Dish EPG not the info from the local stations PSIP. The first...

This only works if you are already on an OTA channel. If you try to switch to an OTA channel from a satellite channel then it stays right on the satellite channel. Mike
