I totally agree with everything you said. But! If we would only lower our expectations we wouldn't be so disappointed. :rolleyes: :D :D

Well, maybe you bought the 811 for only viewing HD but I bought it so I could connect it to my TIVO, get the digital OTA and for HD viewing. I thought when I got the unit it had all these capabilities. The dark picture issue and the 49% OTA problem are real issues for me and others. Since 70%...

Interesting because my DVI and S-Video seem brighter. As a matter of fact I had to adjust the TV's brightness down to 75% from 100% when using DVI. S-Video still requires 100% but seems brighter than before the update. Seems there are a lot of differing opinions on what the upgrade did to the...

Ditto for my HLN617 Sammy

I would like to complain about your complaining about the amount of complaining that people are complaining about complaining. :D

Me too. No doubt about it!

I have been trying to fix the 49% problem with antenna improvements. I installed a Radio Shack 160" 57 element antenna. No fix. The next week I had a Radio Shack 15-1109 antenna mounted pre amp installed. No fix. Then the following week I had a channel master antenna rotor installed. No...

I thought the hardware was supposed to work? Shouldn't the contract be void if the hardware doesn't work as advertised? Is Dish immoral enough to ruin someone's credit for canceling a contract that includes hardware that doesn't work, if they don't pay the penalty?

Scott, it's too bad Dish can't get their act together. What a disaster! So, I guess the customers will be screwed? And, I bet their dealers aren't real happy at this point either.

yea!......

For # 6 in your list try the (*) ("format button") on the lower left of the remote. The stretch mode doesn't work as well as my Samsung panorama mode but it does get rid of the black bars. The bad news is: As far as the a lot of the other stuff on your list is concerned there's a bunch of us...

I agree that it could be either of those things. I'l try your suggestions. Although, when the antenna guy installed my pre amp he tweaked it for the best analog picture.

Well, I got my antenna rotor installed this week so now I feel I can comment on the 40% issue. I have a Radio Shack 160" 57 element antenna (probably not the best but should be sufficient). I also have the Radio Shack 15-1109 antenna mounted pre amp and the rotor is the channel master model #...

below is the response I got from going the CSR route through the tech support link on the Dish Network web site. So good luck on that approach. If contacting "ceo...." is a better route why don't they have these individuals as front line support as IMO the "other" support is useless...

I've been using the optical output to my Sony amp since I installed the 811 a couple weeks ago. A couple times when I would switch between S-Video and DVI the audio would go away but switching to another channel and back would restore the audio. I'm using the S-Video to the TV from TIVO and...

TIVO for instance.

For me the Jury is still out on Dish. I'm a new subscriber and I'm seeing problems with my 811 receiver as mentioned in other posts. I will say this though; If Dish gets the problems fixed and I expect they will I can be a happy camper. I do plan on getting the 921 in the future but I'm waiting...

I haven't tried the stretch mode on the 831. I'll try it. :) I'm not the only one seeing dark video on DVI out. See this thread. http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=4590 Although, "grumpy1 did not mention that he tried the component outputs he did mention the DVI. I went back for...

melvis, that's great news if they come through... I was composing when you posted so I didn't see your post before I submitted mine... As far as "we'll be the last to know" I agree. I worked in a S/W customer service area for many years and sometimes it was a management decision to not...

I have DVI, Component and S-Video hooked up. The dark picture problem is on all three outputs. I have the brightness turned to max and my wife mentioned last night that it's still too dark to watch (long term) . Incidently, the dark picture problem seems to be somehow related to program content...

Mine was installed by Radio Shack. They didn't have them in stock when I ordered mine. I think that was January 30 or 31. They said they had 3 due in on Tuesday. Mine was installed on Friday the 6th. I am also a new subscriber so I got the "free" 811 deal. So maybe my unit was shipped before...

Be paranoid... I had an 811 installed on Friday and there are problems. I'm seeing the problem with the picture being too dark and also the guide problems discussed in other threads. I sent a message to Dish earlier this evening asking about those two problems and if there was a software...
