    811 Upgrade Offer

    I had my 622 installed yesterday. It took a really long time, but it wasn't the installers fault. The feed I had from my superdish on 105 went out about 2 weeks ago and I thought it was and LNB or switch. It turned out to be the cable buried somewhere under ground. After installing the 1000...
