    Way behind the curve....

    I am way behind the E* HD curve. I bought an 811 in 2004 and have a 501, 508 and 301 installed in the house. Currently paying about $100 for E180 + the old HD pack at $9.95. Have of course, never heard from E* about upgrading or anything other than an audit call. I am wondering what I could...

    PVR installation vertical?

    I have just received a new 508 and am preparing to install. It would work best if I could install it in a vertical position, between the set and the side of the entertainment center. I have two 301's installed vertically but I understand that they have no moving parts. I call E* and asked them...

    811 pushed back again.....

    Why are you surprised? I guess I can't understand why anyone is surprised that a locally owned satelite dealer with a store and in-house installer can give you better service than a corporate toll free number and a wildcat installer. I had my 811/301X2 system installed in mid december 2 days...

    DD 5.1 and OPTICAL out NOT a problem of the 811?

    Pioneer Receiver does not get DD While I understand that some receivers have internal DD/PCM switches, my Pioneer VSX-498 does not that I can find in the manual. I have a dvd connected to one optical input assigned to the DVD front button. I have the 811 connected to the second optical input...

    Update 811 and Pioneer Receiver I was experiencing no DD on the tOS Link to my Pioneer VSX 498. My son has a Yamaha Receiver so I asked him to bring it over for testing. With the TOSlink plugged into the Yamaha I received DD on the appropriate HD and HBO channels. Go figure. I would suggest...

    811 Dolby Digital output Issues

    Reset 811? Not sure what you mean by "reset" 811. I still receive no DD on any channel including HD which I am told is mostly DD.

    811 Dolby Digital output Issues

    switched out 811 same problem UPDATE Today I switched my 811 for the local retailers last new 811 and guess what? Still no DD. It acts exactly like described above. If DD is set for PCM I get sound for all channels through TOSLink. If set for DD only, no sound anywhere. IF set for DD/PCM...

    811 Dolby Digital output Issues

    Tested - NO output from TOSlink output. Update - I have verified that there is no signal coming out of the TOSlink from my 811. I tested the cord and the input on the receiver using the TOSlink output on my DVD player. I will be contact the local vendor who did the install and report back.

    811 Dolby Digital output Issues

    I got an 811 installed 2 weeks ago and have yet to receive anything in DD. I am using the TOSlink to my Pioneer VSX-498. Is their any way other than PPV to know when a program is actually in DD? I have the sat receiver set for DD/pcm and only get analog signals on most channels. Should I...
