    Forced 811 upgrade questions

    Since this community seems to know more than Dish CSRs, I figured I better ask my questions here. I got the letter to upgrade my 811 or else I'll lose HBO and Showtime HD. 1. Since I own my 811 now, will they take it from me and I'll own the new receiver? Or do I keep my 811 and they will...

    What's in the latest 811 software update?

    P387 gave back the OTA guide info, which I was very, very happy about. No more printing the listings from TVGuide.com for my wife.

    Dish 811 OTA S-video weirdness

    I got around to trying the S-Video output on my Dish 811 receiver. I'm thinking about getting a PVR and want to use this output for recordings. I have a 16:9 TV, but as I expected the S-Video output only sends a 4:3 picture. SD satellite fills the 4:3 picture entirely, and HD satellite fills the...
