I've had it since day one with my Vip211! (Current software L524) I'm using component video and analog audio connections to my Panasonic plasma.

I'm not under a contract right now.

Is it standard practice for dish to offer 3 months of free service if you call to cancel?

I'm getting that message on my Vip211 along with "0x03, 0xa1, 119(e -5.28)(o 0.00), 110(e -5.21)(o 0.00)" I've noticed that some channels (non-HD) take longer to tune to lately. I don't have these issues on my non-HD receivers.

I can understand your frustration, but how does component look? On my Panasonic plamsa, component was actually clearer than HDMI. I think since HDMI is "new" and "digital", people automatically think it must be better. I also recently got an Oppo DVD w/ HDMI. Component looked better than HDMI on...

Yeah, I can set the individual inputs on my TV at their own settings. That's not the problem. The picture quality from both component and S-video looks good. That's not the problem. The problem (maybe/maybe not) is that the picture from component is much darker than from S-video. I just want to...

My picture from component out is much darker than S-video using this receiver. I think that on some DVD players, component out sometimes utilizes 0 IRE vs. 7.5(?) IRE for composite/S-video. Does this happen with component output on this receiver too? My "brightness" setting is nearly maxed out...

Too bad there isn't a way to objectively determine these things.

ARGGGGGGGG!:mad:

SD channels viewed through the same connection, on the same TV, with the same settings, as my old 311 make my beautiful plasma look like a bad LCD (soft and grainy). SD actually looked pretty good from my old 311. HD channels look great through the VIP211, but probably make up less than half my...

HD looks wonderful on my Panasonic EDTV plasma (even though I'm not *really* seeing HD)! 12' from a 42" looks like HD to me :D Anyway, my 2 issues are: 1- Oddly enough, the SD picture from both component and S-video from the VIP211 looks worse than the S-video from my old 311:eek: The...

I never know when these free previews are coming up. Do they send out e-mails or something to advertise these?

Anything stopping you from buying a Dish Network system and installing it yourself?

The deadline for ending analog TV won't affect us satellite customers, will it? I mean, will those of us with sat. boxes that only output NTSC ( I "lease" three 301's) continue to use these or will E* switch over to ATSC-only style receivers?

I asked the question HERE because we are often reading posts where people switch back and forth between satellite and cable. Things at Dish would have to get REALLY bad before I switched back to watching channels 3-99 in noisy analog again!!!!!!

Don't all cable companies provide the first 99 channels in analog?

How do E* HD receivers compare to ordinary HD-STB's in reception of OTA HD? I had a Samsung 151 HD-STB that wasn't sensitive enough to reliably display my HD locals even though all the antenna's are within 10-15 miles.

This is the 3rd time I've posted this message. The other's aren't showing up :confused: I've been w/ Dish for about 1 year. We have DHA w/ four 301 receivers w/ no commitment. One of the receivers died a month or so ago. We paid $15 for a replacement. Now another one is dyng! You think if I...

This was a test because I posted a message about my broken 301's, but it didn't show up. After this test message appeared, I tried posting the same message and it still isn't showing up! What's wrong? PS- my post count shows the messages were received, but when you click on the link to show...

I've been w/ D* for about a year. I have the package w/ 4 rented 311 receivers w/ free install and no commitment. The receivers are refurbished. Anyway, 1 of the 4 died a month or two ago. I had to pay $15 for a replacement. Now ANOTHER one is failing! I'm not going to keep paying for...
