    Atlanta DishNetWork Users w/HD Locals

    Really? They turned me down years ago when I requested it ... even twice; think I should try again I guess? Hoping DISH will move ATL HD locals to 61.5 soon :rolleyes:

    Atlanta Mpeg4 Installation

    My install of the 622 happened last Saturday. No DISH1000 was installed. I am getting all the HD channels in on my current setup which is DISH500 + a 300 looking at 61.5. Though I must say it seems to be still up in the air whether they're going to move the ATL local HD channels to 61.5 or not.

    Post your VOOM Activation Stories here

    No problems at all. * saw voom channels show in red on 811 and 921 * Called Dish, got CSR within 3 mins - ordered "voom" channels, he understood, checked eligibility, told me it was $5 extra and activated, he said it would take 10/15 mins to take, hung up - time with CSR ~ 3 mins also *...

    811 remote stopped working - suggestions?

    Happened to me also, but it turned out to be a remote address problem. I have no other suggestion (you seem to have tried it all) but to one of your questions, while I was figuring out what the problem with the 811-remote was, I used one of my old 301-remotes (obviosuly given its on the same...

    811: When sent on 1081, tv reads 520p

    I have the exact same experience as your father-in-law (same equipment); though it can also be just my eyes like it that way. Just like you I do not understand it totally either ... I know by theory it should not.

    Advice needed: HD DVR or not?

    I have been pretty happy (and must be pretty lucky) with the 921 ... the OTA tuner does fine (in my subjective vision even slightly better than the 811). I have been able to record 2 (sat) sessions at the same time and have been able to record OTA programs back-to-back with channel switching...

    811 OTA Single Channel Reception Problem

    What is your location, where are the stations from?

    811 stopped responding to 811-remote

    In the end the problem was that the receiver had somehow reset itself back to channel 1 (I am using 3) .... pure speculation would have me believe it was probably one of the many reboots that some ... And yes, it was just a "read the manual" trick to retransmit the correct number. Thanks!

    811 stopped responding to 811-remote

    Thanks for the input - I will try the hardboot and/or sysinfo piece tonight when I get home. Did plenty of soft-boots over-time for totally different reasons ... :) I was hoping it would not be an "accidental" channel change, because would that not be impossible to get back if the receiver is...

    811 stopped responding to 811-remote

    Hi, I have a 811 ... a while ago the remote and receiver stopped responding to each other. The batteries are fine, the different lights light-up when entering channel numbers etc ... but the receiver is not responding to the commands (tried infrared-way also). I have been getting around...

    921 OTA Tuner Ranks #3 Behind 811 and 6000

    Previously I have agreed that the 811 OTA has better pickup than the 921 had. With the new L2.11 software release for the 921 (*very* happy with it BTW), my 921 OTA now actually seems to be pulling in the channels better than the 811. Though I have no scientific facts to this.

    Hdtv Football

    I have a Samsung HLP 4663 DLP with the 811. Knowing that the set is 720p native I had set the 811 at 720p output originally but since then I switched it to 1080i and I think that is actually looking a lot better. Though I did this when watching the US open on CBS, and the CBS transmission is...

    Dish 811, a Z1 and my RPTV

    FWIW (I know this doesnt help you much), but I have had no problems switching the 811 between HS20 pj and a Samsung HLN4365 (rptv) ... Samsung set is native 720p and switched to that without a hitch (though the input is 480/720/1080 which must have made that part easier)

    Samsung HLP5063 and Dish Network SD channel quality

    Samsung DLP pic quality (about to take the plunge)

    I have the 43" HLN4365 w/ the 811 ... HD looks fantastic (I am sure regardless if size because I also have a 84" screen with FrontProjection and the 921) ... SD is pretty good with the 43 (but then it's 43 vs 60+)

    811 with front projector

    I use the 811 with a Sony HS20 & 84 Greyhawk, HD looks fantastic!! I went for the 84 and not bigger just because to have some "decent" looking SD when for instance watching soccer or so. Cant wait for more HD channels, btw I get the networks HD show via OTA and they mostly look great also.

    811 Sat/OTA switching

    I have snow on my the dish (cant reach it: on top of my roof) and thus the 811 is telling me it's "acquiring signal", obviously I accept that *but* I also have an OTA installed and I cannot get into the EPG nor can tune the numbers in directly to go local while sitting on the message box (also...

    Don, also my TIVO is giving me the local channels line-up (even with pretty local stuff as "paid programming" advertisements) ... dont know where they pull the info from though but it seems very accurate Douwe

    Delayed 811 Install

    Had the same 'problem' with it and another reader tipped me on using the S-Video output to a 480 input on your monitor ... then just switch between the 2, works fine.
