    Few throw in Dish towel

    I switched and I do not regret doing so. I have found D* to be equal or superior in everyway except the super stations. TIVO is much better than the E* pvr's. Picture quality is equal. CS is eqal. Software seems to be superior. Multiple manufacturers is definitly a plus. NFL package is...

    Can I use my 811 as an OTA reciever only

    I am not a Dish customer, but I do have an 811. How do I use it as an OTA only. When I hook everything up it states looking for sateliite. I go to my local setup menu and it pulls the stations, but I cannot find a way to view them. HELP!!

    What brand and model

    What brand and model does D* give you for the $99?

    Well, the drama is over

    $149.99------Any takers? It has the problems exspressed in these forums. I have two remotes for it. The first one seemed to be fussy. Never checked the second one.

    Well, the drama is over

    I may live to regret this, but I have just called D* and signed up for a Tuesday installation. After seeing Viacom scroll a ominous message on the bottom of some of my favorite channels and then seeing E* blacking the message out, I realize this is a pissing contest that we as Dish customers...

    Would you leave Dish if they stop carrying CBS?

    That is a good point. I live in a CBS owned city (Philly). Meaning, Viacom owns my CBS station. If they pull it due to E* and Viacom not coming to terms, is E* or Viacom legally in trouble for not allowing or not providing the local CBS with all the other local channels?

    Would you leave Dish if they stop carrying CBS?

    I actually have an 811 I don't even use. I have the dark picture issue as well. Anyone interested??

    Would you leave Dish if they stop carrying CBS?

    I know Dish monitorsthis site. I think they should know how we feel. I for one will leave Dish if I do not have CBS. Cable around here is terrible and OTA is not what I want to do. D is my only alternative. How do you feel?

    "REscanning" problem?

    I tried speaking to Dish about it. It seems that I am unable to communicate this problem to them. I was able to speak to a tech guy who just could not understand what I was trying to tell him. Any ideas? Is there a more techinical way of saying that my screen is rescanning?

    "REscanning" problem?

    Do you have the same problem with the second 811?

    "REscanning" problem?

    I have a 56" JVC with an 811 hooked up. I have all the problems mentioned in earlier threads with one addition. Every 17 to 20 seconds, I get a rescan on my TV. What I mean is that the screen jumps from top to bottom. This happens with any type of hookup including DVI. Is this a 811 issue...
  15. P

    811-- Are these issue still a problem

    I am using a DVI. I also tried the s-video and the wires they supplied. It seems thast the HD channels are brighter, but the SD channels are so dark you can only make out movements.
