    When will Charlie come out of the Closet?

    >>Just because Clinton is an ex-president does not make this a political statement. Nahhhhhhh! Of course not. What was I thinking? I apologize profusely, I completely misread your intentions. :rolleyes: Is it really so hard just to talk about Dish related stuff?

    Locking channels broken?

    Since the latest update (3.29 I believe) locking channels on my 811 has been broken. I used to lock channels I didn't want to see and then hid them. Now this no longer works, I lock the channels but the channels do not remain locked after saving the list. Any clues?

    got 61.5 in San Fran

    Wasn't sure if I could get it with 61.5 so close to the horizon but I got it and with a 110-112 signal as well. I called dish and within 10 minutes had all the voom stations and also noticed the HD demo station, very cool. I also had them switch me to the New York feed of CBS, I have the the HD...

    OTA Locals and Program Guide

    After loading the program guide, my 811 displays all the proper information on my OTA channels and guide. This last for about hour or so then all my channels revert to "Local Digital." And sometimes I lose the info in my guide as well though I haven't seen that as often with the latest update...

    tnt hd?

    Why is all the newer law and orders that tnt shows in stretched 4:3 format? All the newer episodes on NBC are in HD. Why not show the actual hd?

    Where is the ir receiver?

    So the receiver is the middle circle? Also: The 811 creates a lot of IR noise. Is it because of those two blasters? And if so, what if I removed the faceplate and covered them up? Think it would help?

    Where is the ir receiver?

    I just got a mx-850 remote with the flashers so I'd like to know exactly where to put the flasher. Behind the smoked plastic of the 811 I see three possibilities. Two circles and a square with a circle inside it. I imagine one is the ir reciever, one is the ir blaster and the final one is the rf...

    2.81 811 release. What are the new bugs?

    This happens to me as well, only it's not very random. It happens mainly when going to TNT HD. Or when I'm watching TNT HD and I try to access the guide. It could be the HD stations in general but I usually start at TNT and work my way up to see what's on. That loop thing is a killer.

    811 NO OTA Guide INfo

    I've rebooted my 811 twice so far. Each time afterwards I have all the programming info since the latest update. But within an hour or so I lose all the info on the local channels which revert to "local digital." Sometimes the guide itself actually has the correct program information but the...

    SoftWare Update: v.281

    How about switching from OTA to the guide? Does it still reload the program guide or has that been fixed?
  12. R

    A few things I find annoying:

    When browsing I get the message that there is no information for the program. If I go to the guide all the programming information it there. Isn't it sharing the same information in the browser as the guide? Ot even worse it displays that the channel is playing one program I am constantly...

    One man's protest: No HD, then No NBC

    The decisions made are a bit puzzling. I live in San Fran and I get both the digital OTA and the dish HD broadcast of the same footage. I guess getting it is a step up but honestly the quality is so bad (at least here) that I feel that NBC screwed up royaly. The only thing that actually looks...

    DIsh Network Olympic Info

    Well I for am really disapointed in the hd channel. A day late, a dime short I say. So I get old footage, second rate commentators and zero overlays (like the flags in the swimming to show who's in what lanes. Oh and if I see the sony wega commercial one more time I'm going to shoot myself in...
