    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    NFL broadcast quality One camera view appeared to be almost HD quality, even though my TV or receiver wasn't in HD mode. Hard to tell with an 811 - HD usually sucks - broadcast HD much better than 811's when I use TV's built in HD tuner. Other cameras beter than last week but stilll a ways to go.

    HDMI Questions

    monoPrice.com sells reasonably poriced cables and also two HDMI switches - both work well and increase the number of HDMI inputs. Also Best Deal Cables have been recomended by several members.

    erased "w's"

    the "W's appear to be erased in any word containing them in my program guide. is my 811 finally acting up or is it possible that someone could have hacked into dish (is so everyone would be affected and that doesn't appear to be the case)?

    Which one, HDTV Ready or HDTV Builtin?

    I have both the Dish 6000 and 811 - neither OTA HD tuners are anything to crow about (although 811's other problems may just interfere with giving it a fair trial). Purchased a new Mits with built in tuner (paid only $200 over the same model without HD tuner) - much better local HD reception...

    How do E* HD receivers compare to HD-STB's w/ OTA?

    I got fed up with the 811 freezing when using it for OTA HD. Got a Mits with built in tuner. Much better picture (richer, great color, excellent contrast without having to boost cointrast control which I had to do with the 811) and no lock ups. However, the 811 performs very well on all five of...

    Will The New Version Of The 811 Have The Best Mepeg4 Chipset

    What new version? Have I missed something? What new version of the 811, or is that the same thing as the many times software "corrected" version of our current 811's?

    811 P285/P287 Software Update

    I solved the problem by getting a new mits hdtv with built in tuner (very understanding wife). Great local hd as well as espn and discover hd through the 811 (yes I'm paying $10.00 for the pleasure of watching 20/30 year old movies in "hd".) Hope 285 restores picture quality to some of dish's...

    Are there any satisfied DISH customers

    I"ve been with Dish since 1996 and never had any real problems - at least that couldn't be fixed. For several years I was bothered by the fact that Dish "gave away the store" to new subscribers while ignoring us old folk, but lately they throw us a bone every now and then. I've even had good...

    Which HDTV Receiver to buy?

    I've had a 6000 for at least three years and never had any problems with it. The HD reception for satellite is great - locals iffy but that is more local stations fault. I've had an 811 for about four months. Had only a few of the many problems you'll find mentioned on this site. It does...

    Expectations of the 811

    Agree completely. Circuit City doesn't carry Dish equipment - at least here in Fresno. Maybe they know something we don't! I'm surprised Sears still carries Dish. I was advised not to get their 811 (in March) as most were coming back. I got mine from CEO@echostar.com in May. So far it's ok but...

    sound then picture disappeared

    Sound sudden;y disappeared today from my 811. After checking all connections, making sure it wasn't the TV (sound worked on broadcast - but not through the 811) went to info screen to write down Smart Card number and then picture went also. 811 didn't respond to manual shut down or remote shut...

    who has the best receivers?

    I've had Dish receivers for almost 8 years now. Never any problems. Dish just replaced an original model 3000 (was still working great) for free - said it wouldn't work after this month. Except for freeze ups my 6000 works very well - don't know if freeze up/pixilations are receiver or...
