Another change with this version is when your Digital OTA signal is weak and you get the error message, it has the signal meter underneath. Better than having to keep hitting the "view tv" button while readjusting the rabbit ears.

I did a little searching because I may run into this problem if I ever decide to upgrade from my 811 to a DVR. This is kinda pricey but... http://ez-living.com/osb/itemdetails.cfm?ID=91

Boot strap version is 1013LABD.

I recieved the P282 update this evening, 12/2/04. I'm only posting this because the P282 fixes/bugs thread said on 11/30/04 that P282 was discontinued. Receiver ID starts with 0059.

Finished my download. No dice on the NBC Showcase. Damn.

This is a long download, I'm about 3/4 through it. Any chance it updates OpenTV to support the NBC Showcase for the Olympics? I'd really like to see that on the big screen.

I spoke too soon, I went back to the aiming screen and it's silent again. Yeah, since I re-aimed all the 119 tp's are over 100 and all the 110 are over 90. It's nice to have the dish accessable to do that kind of thing easily. Of course, mine has to be so I can brush the snow off in the...

That was the first time I've re-aimed it. I self-installed my dish about 3 years ago and because I was pressed for time, once I got an acceptable signal I left it alone. When I became unemployed last month I decided to try and fine tune. I ended up getting a gain of 10-15 points on each tp on...

I may have one of those extra quirky early 811's, but before P267 it never output a tone on the "Point Dish/Signal" screen. Today a nice storm came through and when I checked the signals, there it was. I know it didn't do that before P267 because I just repeaked the dish about a week ago.

Hmm, you're using an awful lot of smiley icons in this thread... What do you know? :) I got my 811 in December '03, I have no 2nd dish installed. I did recently have a local station pop up on 61.5, sounds like I should take them up on it.

I have the same setup and I have noticed the same thing. My local ABC station brodcasts in 720p and even that seems to look better when the 811 is set on 1080i.

Auto tune works on my 811 also, but I do have a problem with it. When the reminder should come up, I get the little clock icon, but no program info. IIRC, on my 4700 it would pop up and tell you what program is going to be auto tuned and give you the option to cancel it. Not the case with my...

That is awesome news! I'm shocked that Dish is taking Victory up on their offer. Either Dish knows there's no way in hell they're going to carry Victory and they're taking this because it's free, or...naaaah! :D

Last night they showed a Fox Sports Net HD Feed of the Kings - Red Wings hockey game on the HD Events Channel. Only available to those who get the Center Ice package, however.

My local PBS station puts their HD feed on 1.1. Scott, I tried your fix and it did save it under the UHF channel, not the remapped 1.1. However, when I tuned that channel in, all I got was a still frame and no sound. I hit the info button and it said I was on 1.1, I hit cancel and it brought me...
