    why LNB drift worse on one receiver than others?

    I have an 811 receiver that I seldom use. Turned it on yesterday for the first time in a few months, and while dealing with some other issues that have since been resolved, I looked at the sysinfo screen for the first time in maybe 3 years, and it reports LNB Drift for satellite 129 of (e-20)...

    811 - do I have to replace it?

    I'm confused after two conversations with DISH CSR's about whether my 811 receiver HAS to be replaced due to the MPEG4 transition, or if I can keep using it as an SDTV-only receiver. context: my 811 (owned, not leased) was demoted to the guest room a couple of years ago when I got a vip622...

    811 receives most of the new HD content

    this probably doesn't surprise the experts out there, but I was pleasantly surprised recently when I upgraded to one of the new HD packages (in conjunction with getting a vip411 receiver) and found that my old 811 receiver is able to receive much of the "new" HD content. This surprised me...

    first receiver fee included in package?

    Can someone tell me if the DishHD Gold package, @$69.99, already includes the lease fee for the first receiver? That's what I expected, but I just received my first bill after upgrading one of my 301's to a vip411, and discovered that they are charging me fees for all four of my receivers. Is...

    411 locks blocking OTA sub channels

    did I buy or lease my 811 for $199 in Dec 2003?

    Maybe a stupid question, but I just called DISH to upgrade my 811 to a 211 and was surprised to find that their records show that my 811 is leased. I thought I bought it, back in December 2003, when after reading several threads in this forum (like...

    will 811 still work with Dish 1000?

    Can someone please help me unravel some confusion from a call I just had with a DISH CSR? I currently have a two-dish setup receiving 110, 119, and 148, and feeding three 301's (2 leased, 1 owned) and one 811 (owned). I subscribe to the HD pack, and also get the west coast CBS HD feed. I am...

    811 missing remote control codes for tuner/amplifier O-Z

    Anyone know how to program the 811 remote for tuners/amplifiers from manufacturers with names from O-Z (eg. Pioneer, Sony, Technics, Yamaha)? The list of codes on page 105 of the manual inexplicably ends at NAD. I've tried the "scan" function on p.66/67 to try to get a match for my Sony...
