    811 owners with OTA 49% problem read this

    I was sick and tired of being sick and tired of the 49% OTA problem with my 811. I have a 3020 Channel Master antenna that was pulling in my locals with the 811 in the high 80's. The problem was the 811 would suddenly drop signal to 49% and I would lose all picture. For laughs and giggles, I...

    I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of the terrible picture quality from Dish. This over compression has got to go. For the price we pay every month, we deserve much better. There should be no reason why I can take my 811 receiver and receive significally...
