    522 remote interfering with 811.

    I recently upgraded to a 522 in my bedroom, which is on the other side of the wall where my 811 sits. Whenever someone controls the 522 in the bedroom, it also affects the 811. Is there a remedy for this?

    510+standard receiver, will it work?

    I just ordered teh 510 receiver last week and was wondering if (until i get a 522) i can use my current receiver, hook it up to the 510 and be able to view a channel other than the one being recorded? I'm pretty sure this would mean i'll have to pay an additional receiver fee, correct?

    2.80 screwed up my 'subscribed channels' list.

    When viewing the guide i usually keep it on "Sub. Channels". After d/l-ing the new update my sub list only shows informarcial channels, and other commercial channels. Anyone else notice this?

    My reception is losing strenght all of a sudden...

    It started about 2 weeks ago when i couldn't receive most of the news channels (CNN/MSNBC etc.). And now i lose a bunch of channels throughout the day, only to have them come back later on. For instance, last Sunday i couldn't watch the Sopranos on HBDHD. I had a service guy at my house last...

    Having problems with 110 and 119.

    This morning i could not receive any of the news broadcast stations such as MSNBC or Fox News. Whenever i tried accessing them i would get the "signal lost" error message, this would happen on both 110 and 119; and the signal is never established. I've had this problem occur almost every day...

    811 menu text woes.

    I've noticed that whenever i switch over to my TV's component that outputs in hi-def, the menu text is 'doubled'. In other words i see double lines, the standard white text plus a red underlay. The picture is also slightly funky, with a slight color bleeding. These are only visible on the left...

    I'm fed up with Dish Network....

    And my fiancé is on the phone with them as I type this. I've paid $200 for an 811 which is worthless if E* doesn't install my second dish, and provide me with a 'complete' HD package. I've already had to cancel my "Superbowl In HD" party because of their incompetence, not to mention the 3 week...

    Will an 811 function on 431i/1081i inputs?

    I'm asking because my television has a (480i/480p/1081i) and a (481i/1080i) input. Currently I have my 811 running through the first input, and my DVD played in the second. I would like to swap the DVD player for an Xbox, but since the XB displays in 480p (and not 480i), I won't get a picture...

    Is Dish Network run by morons?

    I would say monkeys, but that'd be an insult to primates. I was scheduled to have my 811 installed on 12/29, the day before i get a call rescheduling to 1/19. January 19th rolls around and i finally get my 811 installed. After the job is done the installer and i talk about how cool the...

    Can an OTA antenna be splced into an E* dish?

    Can an OTA antenna be spliced into an E* dish? A Dish Network installer mentioned something about an OTA antenna that can be mounted atop the outdoor dish. Since i have an extra(unused) line running from the dish to the back of my TV, would it be possible to mount the OTA antenna atop the dish...

    Question about OTA aspect ratio.

    I'm thinking about buying an indoor antenna, and cancelling the locals package. What i want to know is, will the broadcasts coming from the OTA antenna be in 16:9 (like the HD channels), or will i have to use the 811's stretch feature? In other words, will the screen size reconfigure itself...

    Has anyone's 811 installation been rescheduled lately?

    I'm currently scheduled to have my 811 installed on Monday 1/19. My original date was 12/29, and was just wondering if E* had caught up to demand for the 811. In other words, how likely am i to finally having my receiver installed?
