    does 811 work as OTA tuner when no longer a subscriber?

    I'm moving and am no longer going to subscribe to dish network but was wondering if my 811 can function as an over-the-air HD tuner when I'm no longer subscribed. Thanks.

    Over the air reception?

    I am considering switching to comcast from Dish when I move but I would like to know if they have any HD boxes capable of receiving over the air HD. I would really hate to lose that ability. Thanks

    Another 811 DD issue Please help

    I have done a search in this forum and haven't found this exact problem mentioned so here goes. I have had my 811 for a few months and it has worked pretty well for the most part. Last week though, I lost sound from some of my channels, most notably the HD channels and some of the pay chennels...

    help with universal remote

    I have a pronto remote that I would like to use to control my 811 but I can't get it to recognize any of the buttons. Is this because the remote doesn't output any infrared signals to the 811, only UHF ones? Is there a work-around for this? I tried to access the sticky about the 811 remote...

    Did anyone get the free movie coupon with their bill this month? I hope I didn't just miss it or throw it away by accident. Thanks

    Anyone having guide problems?

    The guide on my 811 is having some issues. For example, it is showing "college basketball" on HNN and some NBA game on HDnet. Obviously those are wrong, so I was wondering if anyone else's guide has been screwed up today. Thanks

    Why isn't CBS HD on 110?

    Why doesn't dish put CBS HD on the 110 satellite along with the other HD channels and make everyone's life a little easier, especially with all the problems with the 811 not picking up 148?

    Got CBS waiver now what?

    Ok, I received a waiver from my closest cbs station and have been authorized to view the LA channel. I was just on the phone with a dish rep and she said I would get the HD from the 119 satellite. That's not true is it? I have a dish 500 with the 811. I thought I would need to get another...

    Why no a la carte HD HBO or SHO?

    I am wondering why HBO HD and SHO HD are not offered seperate from their respective packages? Is that the call of HBO and Showtime or Dish? I for one will not order the whole packages just to get 1 channel of HD per service. How many of you that don't have HBO or Showtime would order them if...

    Fix for 811 dropping sats?

    I finally figured out the reason that my 811 was consistantly dropping either the 119 or 110 satellite. For some reason the ground was interfering with the ability of the receiver to switch the LNB the signal was coming from. I guess there must be some stray voltage causing problems. Anyway...
