Just read another article from Colorado: "This satellite could be used for a wide range of purposes," EchoStar spokesman Steve Caulk said. "Among other things, it would give us more capacity and more flexibility." Several analysts said it is unlikely EchoStar will continue to provide the...

You don't have much recourse because E* now owns Voom, so E* will probably offer you a replacement box to recieve their service, if you elect to continue with them.

Same thing happened to me, was surfing OTA and lost one of the digital ones, I thought maybe they went off the air for some reason. Went back to satellite and nothing. Rebooted and the OTA digital was back along with the sat channels. Also been getting a phone line nag screen since I rebooted...

So far p284 is running perfectly here. P282 ran flawlessly on my 811 also, but p281 was a nightmare, at least 3 BSOD a week and one time it unsubscribed itself and I had no channels until a phone call fixed that.

No, you still have to turn the 811 and your vcr on first, then it will record ok. The 811 will turn on but just show a black screen.

Mines not doing that, I wish it was as I have to push it 3 times. First push gives me a transparent info screen, second push is solid white background and the third turns it off. I wonder if there is an option in one of the menus?

Yes there is, Dish interactive.

It's 269 and It's bright on s-vid, I need to readjust the tv now.

New software p269 is here P 269 is downloading right now...
