Exactly the same problem here. I did a hard reset the other day and it downloaded the latest software. Since then the guide problem. I also changed the remote batteries, with no improvement.

Is it possible to get all the HD channels as a separate package as opposed to being added to the standard packages?

VIP 222 Not Compatible with EHD? Tried to connect EHD to my VIP222 with L378. No go. Had tech support change my access code from Archive (I used EHD on my VIP722K). No go. Tried another tech support person. I am now assured by Dish that the VIP 222 is not enabled for a EHD!!! Anyone had better...

Thanks for the feedback. There is actually a ground block and a barrel connector in each line. I have ordered 3GHz ground blocks and will remove the barrel connectors and change out the standard RG6 coax to 3Ghz sweeped RG6.

I disconnected my 811 and on reconnection did a check switch. Only recognized 119 (not 110 & 105). Substituted 211 no problem. Put 211 back in original location and did a checkswitch. Now it has the same problem! Units are about 70' & 50' from switch( with a inline terminal block). Problem...

I just tried to do the same thing and the reply Dish gave me was " I can't guarantee a VIP211, the unit can be a 811 or a 411 or a vip211". As I am only interested in a vip211 I had to say "No thanks".

I have two 811's, one started the 49% problem after the 266 upgrade. I use the same antenna for both 811's. I swopped the inputs and could then prove to Dish that it was a 811 problem not the antenna. They sent me a refurb. unit. Installed and the problem went away.

I have the $149 deal on the 811. Instal was resceduled to December 16th , then to Dec 30th. Now NO SCHEDULE!! Just wait. The installer (Blue Sky satellite) says they are only getting 811 with the TV package, so this confirms that in the Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas areas no individual 811!! for the...

I followed the advice and called Dish tech Support with my 811 problems (Maping, sound poping) and they logged them saying they do need this direct feedback from the subs.

811 special deal I have followed this forum as a guest for a long time. The timely information on the $149 deal has saved me lots of bucks. I am scheduled for saturday install. THANKS SCOTT!!! :)
