    I thought it was funny Scott, keep going. Lighten up - if you don't like what Scott posted, change the channel. :p

    who would be willing to pay more money to keep viacom?

    Sounds like CE left himself open to some legal problems, but Viacom has also. I can't see any way the FCC can stay out of this. I wonder what the real truth is - sounds like some delicate spin from both sides.

    Are you happy with your 811 now???

    So far - yes. It has not locked up on me since the new software. I wish there was a way to get the program info tied to the OTA locals. My wife gets confused and is driving me crazy. :D

    New Software upgrade for 811

    Hey Tide, Now that the locals are mapping in the guide, is there anyway to tie the OTA channels into the mapped locals? I went throught the manual again last night and couldn't do it. My wife gets confused by the whole station call letter thing. Someone please help me get her off my back...

    Did I Miss the 811 Software Fix?

    I spoke with someone who claimed to be a senior tech support guy last night. (After lockup once a day for the past 10 days, I got fed up again) Anyway, I asked if he had any update on when the software fix was coming, and he said they did not know but that they were working on it. (Anyone heard...

    OTA HD Antenna for Dallas/Ft.Worth area.

    I live in west Frisco (423 & 720). I'm using a 72" RCA combo mounted in the attic (above 2nd floor media room) running thru the 811. I'm getting pretty good reception on all the DTV signals - 74% low - 92% high. I would probably get a little better signal w/ant. mounted outside. You are actually...

    A-Rod to the Yankees?

    I can't do the yankees! My nemisis - no way. I was raised to hate them so becoming a yankee fan would be impossible, besides, I love to hate them. I guess I'll just default back to the A's, they were my favorites before the Senators moved to Texas.

    A-Rod to the Yankees?

    It sucks to be a Ranger fan. We've got the biggest bunch of idiots running this club since the group in Boston that traded Ruth. I'm officially throwing out all my Ranger stuff. Can I bandwagon on someone else's team? Please, I need a real baseball team to follow. :river

    OTA Digital signal strength on the 811

    How far are you from the trans towers? I'm about 30 miles away and experimented with the terk 42 and 55? and couldn't get good signals. I finally copied the setup from one of my neighbors - RCA combo vhf/uhf 72" boom antenna mounted in the attic, fm trap on the leader, 811 receiver. I'm...

    Opinions/Thought/Input on my Dish System

    I to am a long time customer who moved last may. I wanted to switch to the larger sat provider but I'm also in a pegasus area and you can't get any of the advertised deals w/them - have to lease equipment, etc. I was able to get an 811 installed for $149. Like many others, I've had numerous...

    Dish 811

    When I was talking to this tech I mentioned that I was not the only person having this problem. He asked me how I knew this and I said all you have to do is check out this forum and look at the number of posts in the last month concerning the 811. He quickly changed the subject, so I knew they...

    Dish 811

    I've had the same problem and I spoke to a "senior teckkie" last night who assured me a fix was supposed to be out Friday. I think they might have a more serious problem and they know it, but as usual, we'll be the last to know.

    OTA Digital signal strength on the 811

    Like many other 811 users out there, I've had this problem, along with many others. Last night I spoke with a CSR about my 811 having trouble with its program guide memory and another problem with it locking up. To my surprise, I was put on hold then a guy named Chuck, who claimed to be a senior...
