    My upgrade plan's

    I'm not going to upgrade my two 811's that I own until DISH offers two 211's for no upgrade fee and I get to own them with no lease fee. In the mean time DISH will not get anymore money from me to get any more HD. I already get all my locals off my antenna so all I'll be missing is the 5 new...

    Dish giving current HD customers $5 HD pack

    I didn't see my credit so I called. The CSR told me it is only for 811's purchased in Nov,2004. I've had mine since Nov, 2003 with the Hd pak. I can't believe they aren't giving it to me when I've had the hd pak for almost 2 years.

    269 is here, dark picture problem fixed!

    Poke If your not having a dark picture issue with your 811 its because your not watching SD via composite or s-video. Please dont confuse the issue by saying your not having a problem when your not using those outputs.

    As an update to my previous post, When viewing a vcr with the new settings the vcr picture is extremely bright. When the brightness is taken down 7 notches the picture is fine. But when switching back to SD satellite via s-video the picture is too dark. This is the real test. Calibrate the...

    Problem with Sony Direct view and 811

    You're correct. Dish is only broadcasting CBS-HD on channel 9483. I'm using a radio shack yagi antenna(R-75U) in my attic for pulling in HD 35 miles from NY. If you're within 75 miles this antenna might work for you if mounted outside. Go to antennaweb.org type in your address and it will tell...
