Dish Screws Up Masters Telecast I was very happy that Dish was showing the Masters on HD also but then they screwed up royally. On Thursday because of the rain delay, USA network carried the Masters until 8:00 EDT. The special events channel went blank at 6:30 EDT. No HD for the last 1 1/2...

Masters Channel 9466 :yes The Masters is on channel 9466, the HD special events channel, tomorrow at 4:00 EDT. Thankx Dish. :D Wiggy

Its all well and good that CBS is broadcasting the Masters in HD on Thursday and Friday but we as E subscribers will not be able to watch it. They are broadcasting on the USA network which is digital only. Maybe they still put it on a special events program. :confused:

First, I am in Salt Lake where USDTV is first broadcast. I turn on my 811 this morning and go to the digital channels. I suddenly have a bunch of new digital channels. I go in to the menu and figure out that my 811 has mapped all the USDTV channels. This would not be a huge problem other...

There is another way to check which I have done. I used some monster component cables and checked the picture. Then I used the component cables that came with the 811. There is no discernable difference other than a lighter pocketbook. Six feet or less is no big deal as long as they are...

Dish actually gets another day to lie to us this year. There is a February 29th. The guide issue is driving me nuts. The OTA is great one day and sucks the next. They are over 60 days late on their promises. Direct TV with their new HD PVR is looking better and better. Especially with...

Dark Video I have a toshiba direct view with DVI. It allows me to change TV setting per output. DVI,Component 1, Component 2, SVideo etc. My DVD is component input and my 811 is DVI. Previously with my 6000 the settings with the DVD and the 6000 were similar on seperate component inputs...

Fifth Channel The fifth channel is HDPPV which is available. Wiggy

I agree I have went through the 6000 problems and now I am going through the 811 problems. I want the 921 but I can wait for the first three software upgrades before I buy. My wife doesn't like me being a beta tester as I have been with the 811. For only five channels included in my HD...

:rolleyes: My guide on the 811 only goes out about three hours. I see others saying they really like the guide on the 811. If they have a 301 that has a guide that goes three days, they wouldn't. Am I the only one with this problem? If I am not, has anyone heard of a software fix?

Dish Is Great I must be lucky. I called and when the CSR answered I told her that I wanted the 811 deal and figured that with my account status(Just got off DHP)I would have to pay $199 rather than $149. She laughed and said I knew way to much. I told her that satellite guys keep me...
