    Did they ever fix the DD Optical audio

    I take it that this DD issue is one that a receiver either decodes the signal or doesn't? While my receiver decodes the TOS link signal, it sometimes is out of sync with the video (mostly on HD sources, OTA and SAT). Is this a related issue or a totally different one?

    HD picture quality on 811

    Thanks everyone. Seems like most of the problems I see is due to compression, from dish & OTA. Hope someone wakes up and understand we didn't spend the money on our expensive HD equipment to see a crappy picture. The only other problem I'm having is with the splotchy drop out in the video...

    HD picture quality on 811

    I have a question about picture quality on my 811 and Mits 48" HD monitor. As I was watching ESPNHD tonight, the picture quality was less than I expected. While the quality was certainly better than SD, some of the same effects showed up in the HD broadcast. On the regular angle showing the...

    Another 811 DD issue Please help

    When this happened to me, a reboot (holding the power button down for 10-12 seconds) restored the DD. My setup is similar to yours. I do notice audio sync problems on one of my OTA stations, as well as some sat channels, although the sat channels have this problem very infequently. Dish...

    Issues with 811

    I'm still having audio sync issues with an OTA station (NBC). Recent updates have not helped. This may be a station issue, but it does not always occur. Some shows have the problem, some do not. The audio is through an optical TOS link to my Denon receiver. When I called Dish about the...

    811 Audio Sync Problem

    What about SD on digital stations. Sometimes the video looks "choppy", like a low bit rate mpeg. I watched the tonight show on NBC last night and the audio was in perfect sync.

    811 Audio Sync Problem

    Yea, I think it has to be the station. Sure is irritating though. Beautiful picture with out of sync audio!

    811 Audio Sync Problem

    I have the Dish Network 811 receiver. I only get 2 OTA stations at this time. On the NBC station, the sound is out of sync with the picture, especially on network programing. It is not as bad with local SD on that station. The PBS station and satellite channels are all ok. It would seem to...

    Summary of 811 problems?

    Using the 811's stretch on SD sat sources looks better on my Mits 48 than the 501 it replaced. I lost the toslink digital output once, reboot fixed it. On OTA HD programs, the audio seems out of sync. I don't know if it 811 related or not. I only have 2 digital stations in my area online...

    Feel like Dish has abandoned their current customers

    I finally got my 811 installed this weekend. I emailed and called dish after each missed install or re-schedule. Guess they got tired of me calling. Except for the annoying stretch mode, it looks great.

    Feel like Dish has abandoned their current customers

    I can relate to Ron's situation. I am an existing dish customer, ordered the 811 the day after it was announced, I am now on my 5th install reschedule. The worst one was the last 12/24. The installer called on 12/23 to confirm the 811 had arrived, and would be there 12/24, between 12 and 5...

    Sampling of Where the 811 Installs are Being Rescheduled

    My install cancelled for the third time. Now on the 28th. Emailed Dish complaint to exec at dish again. Installer claims he has gotten no 811's at all from the Dallas dist center. He would not tell me how many orders he has or where I am on the list. He said Dish told them that they were...

    How to get Wing dish added at no extra charge?

    How did you qualify for CBS? That's the channel I want the most because I'm about 100 miles from the nearest CBS HD local. I'll never get it OTA unless I put up a very tall antenna. Did you get a waiver from your local CBS station?

    How to get Wing dish added at no extra charge?

    When I set up my order to get the 811 receiver, rep said a wing dish would cost me $99 extra. Have read here some are getting this dish at no extra charge. What package do you have to order to get this dish at no extra charge?

    FLASH: Dish 811 now $199 for Existing Customers!

    How are you guys getting around "there is no upgrade offer for DHP customers"? I talked to a CSR & a supervisor who said it is impossible for a DHP subscriber to get this upgrade offer. Only the $399 retail price was available.
