I switched from Dish a week ago. I had an 811 receiver going to a Panasonic 30" HDTV . I had planned on upgrading to the 622 DVR but did not want to thru the hassels I went thru with the 811 not working correctly and waiting for new software updates to fix problems nor did I want to put out the...

One more question, If I go with the dp44 with the power inverter does that mean I only need to run 1 cable from the switch to the dvr?

Thanks for the info. I only have 1 other receiver that will be fed from the 622. I

Ok experts I need advise. Here is my setup, SuperDish pointed at 119,110,105(my locals) connected to an 811. I thought(key word) if I upgrade to the 622 and add the new HD channels I would be able to add a second 18-20" dish, change my DishPro 3/4 switch to a 4/4 and run an additional coax to...

OK, Here's my scenerio. I have a SuperDish pointed at 105/110/119 and want to add the Voom channels so I assume I am going to need to add a single dish pointed at 61.5 and then change out my 34 switch for a 44 switch. Am I correct? Is there any other way to do this? Thanks

I just added surround to my system. Are any of the PPVs on Dish in Dolby Digital?

Thanks, I was looking in the remote section. Its been a long day.

I just bought a new receiver and am trying to get evrything set up. I know there is a way to set the volume on the remote to control the volume of the amp no matter which setting or mode the remote is in. The problem is I do not remember how and it is not in the owners manual. Thanks for your help

I think I fixed it Ok, I changed the settings to 1080i. The picture is awesome, however a lot of my SD channels now come in 4:3 and I have to strech them. But it is worth it also my guide is pretty narrow. Any ideas. Also I tried DVI and component and got the same results.

I think that is what my problem is. My Panasonic will not handle 720p and when I go to 1080i my pic gets shrunk. I have the 811 set at 420P and my pic on Dish HD is awesome. Is that why my OTA HD is not very good?

Yes, I am looking at the digital OTA channels and DVI is the only connection from the 811 to the tv.

I have an 811 connected to a Panasonic 30" widescreen HDTV. They are connected via a DVI cable. Here is my question. My HD picture on Dish is great but my OTA HD pic is not much better than SD. My signals on OTA are in the 90s. I know everything on the networks are not HD but the ones that are...

Carl, I agree with you. If I do not have an S video output to go to my DVD-R its no good to me. I know it is a DVR but if I record something I want to keep for good I want to burn it to a DVD.

There is nothing about DHP on my bill and I am only paying for America 120,HD,Locals, and the receiver in my sons bedroom, no extra $5.00. What about the installer does he have anything to do with this?

I got my 811 in January of this year as a new customer. When I got it Dish was offering the 811 for $49.95 down with a $49.95 rebate. I am considering upgrading to the 921. I called Dish and they stated I owned the 811 and could sell it if I wanted when I purchased the 921. I am not sure I trust...
