    Owned 811 to leased 622 upgrade - help

    Thanks, but I'm not worried about what to do with the 811. My original post was probably a little long. Really just looking for answers to the three issues in the last paragraph. The rest was just to clarify my situation. MB

    Owned 811 to leased 622 upgrade - help

    I've read over posts until my head spins. Every csr gives me a different story. Do I have the math right on this? Current setup: Owned 811 (had for three years) AT100+ and locals (39.99) Old Dish HDPack (9.99) Phone line connected Proposed setup via Dish'n It Up lease program...

    Minneapolis HD Locals

    Can anyone in Minneapolis give me some feedback? I know we haven't had an NFL season since HD locals came into play, but should mirror what was available OTA last year. Thanks again.

    Minneapolis HD Locals

    Moving to Minneapolis from SE South Dakota. No, for real. Satisfied with Dish and plan to stay with them after the move. Have been frustrated here by local FOX affilitate's refusal to broadcast in HD (or even digital for that matter). Only watch FOX for NFL football, specifically the...

    811 to 942 after 2/1/06

    Trying to review all of the information on this topic but unable to get a consensus. For the time being, I have local HD ota and am not interested in the new HD packages. Can I replace my owned 811 with a used 942, keep my old HD Pak, and pay same monthly bill with addition of the $6 DVR fee...

    Possible 811 P3.34 problem, rainbow line

    Problem now resolved Accepted the 3.35 software as had little to lose. Rainbow problem now resolved so must have been a glitch in the 3.34 version (at least for my setup). Unfortunately, still have the washed out component video. Thanks again to those who offered assistance. Matt

    Possible 811 P3.34 problem, rainbow line

    FWIW problem not present on channels broadcast in 720p. Also not present when I set TV to convert all output to 720p. Still rainbow line with 1080i on all other output from 811 receiver. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    811 for HD OTA...there must be a way?

    With changes to MPEG4, the 811 that I own is destined to become a doorstop. It's just a matter of next month, in 6 months, or in a year or so. It seems to me that there should be a way (NOT using the dish) that this receiver could still serve as a decent off air HD receiver. If it's a hacking...

    Possible 811 P3.34 problem, rainbow line

    Mark, Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that, too. Both sets of component connections on the TV work fine with the DVD input, both show the problem with the 811 input. I also switched out the cables. So, I agree. It has to be the receiver. Thought about trying a "factory reset." If a...

    Possible 811 P3.34 problem, rainbow line

    Did the hard reset before posting. Tried it again, this time unplugged for five minutes. Unfortunately...no change.

    Possible 811 P3.34 problem, rainbow line

    Developed a problem on my television the day that the 3.34 downloaded. May be coincidence, but I have a suspicion that it relates to the new software. The problem is a rainbow-like line starting in the middle of the screen at the bottom and curving toward the right side of the screen about 4...

    Dish 811 - P282 Update

    Have tried all of the proposed solutions with no fix for the sat to OTA lockup issue (all OTA in the 75-85 range). For me, has only happened since 2.82 update. Echo a previous post and advise those with problems to call dish, review the specifics with them, and ask that the info be forwarded...

    Dish 811 - P282 Update

    Problems since 2.82 Unlike many, I had NO problems with the 811 until the 2.82 update. Now lock up almost continuously when scrolling through OTA. Thought I'd join the fray:-)
