I really hope so. 287 messed up my DD and I seem to have more frequent frame loss (looks like 3 frames a second I am viewing and can only be fixed by changing channels). Oak

I think this is going to be true regardless of your TV resolution for HD. In my experience, the 811 is not very good at downconverting 1080 to 720 (which is what it does when on 720p mode), My television does a much better job at downconverting the 1080i signal (my samsung is 720p native). It...

:mad: I know it was supposed to fix some Dolby issues with certain receivers, but it messed mine up. :mad: I got it Wedensday night, and did'nt use the unit until i got home from work yesterday. I have an off-brand (liquid video) reciever. I have had the optical audio hooked into...

I called Dish CS and they did not have any idea if I needed to see the 105 bird to get my OTA locals guide data. No luck there. So I guess it begs the question, is anyone out there with dish locals on the 105 bird and only a Dish500 getting any local OTA guide data via the 811? oak

My locals are broadcast by Dish (Richmond, VA), but they are on the 105 sat and require a super dish to get. Since I only have a Dish 500, cold this be the reason my local digitals are not mapping to the dish locals? I will try and call Dish CS tonight. Thanks oak

kluever, I have a Samsung DLP as well. I am currently using the 811 reciever with digital out to my home theatre system, but if I recall correctly, to get the sond that goes with the DVI, the RCA jacks need to go to the PC audio inputs on the back of the Sammy. Is this how you have it hooked...

I have the same problem. I know that 3 of the 7 digital stations I get are broadcasting PSIP guide data (I get it with my ATI HDTV card), but the 811 just shows "local digital" for everything. I have deleted and re-scanned the stations both automatically and manually with no change. Does...

volfan, I had the same issue and posted it in another thread here. WJD, a supporter of this site gave me the suggestion to check all my cables to make sure i was using RG6 throughout the whole setup. I knew I had, but checked just in case. Come to find out, out of the 12 or so Coax cables...

WeeJavaDude, Well I went home and checked all of my cables (about 12 in all with the diplexers and splitters for OTA), and all were marked RG6, with the exeption of one. The cable going from the diplexer nar the 811 to the OTA input od the 811. It LOOKED like RG6, but had no markings. I...

WeeJavaDude, I will get all of that info posted here when I get home. I can tell you I have had the unit for 10 months and I do have RG6 from the dish to the diplexer and from the diplexer to the diplexer(at the 811), I am pretty sure I have it from the diplexer to the (2) 811 (ant and sat)...

I would not be too enthusiastic about 2.84. While the OTA channel switching bug seems to have been taken care of for the most part, I am still getting the 'no info' bug in my guide at least 2-3 times a day. It has happened every morning when I turn it on for the last 3 days and a few times...

I tried this from many different angles and positions and just could not get my learning remote to pick up anything from the 811. I ended up using the remote from my 301 upstairs to teach and it worked just fine on the 811. :yes

This is exactly what happens to me, but in addition, sometimes when I go to guide, it shows "no info" for everything and hitting the guide button to change to another Favorites list does nothing, not change. I have to soft re-boot to get it back...sometimesI get guide data out a couple hours...

This has been happening to me ever since the last software update. It is extremely annoying. I cut my 811 off every night, sometimes on OTA, sometimes on SAT channel. Sometimes, I show no info at all in the guide and cant even switch between favorites, the 811 does not resond at all. I...
