    New 811 Software P3.30

    The reason for the jump is because Dish does not reuse version numbers across receivers. 2.90 to 3.30 have been used by other receivers.

    49% OTA problem with 811

    Before you go climbing into the attic, check your local HD OTA forum at avsforum.com and make sure something others are not having issues. LIke the other posters it does sound like something happen external to the box so I personally would start by checking the net before checking the cabling.

    Is this a new 811 problem?

    For people having the "No Info" bug. Jason, logray, and myself have personally spent a number of hours this weekend trying to narrow it down. It seems to be related to Channel surfying using ChUp and ChDn. Couple of threads of interest.... http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=44558...

    Dish Model 811 - P2.89 Software Update

    Darrell Try the PgDn and PgUp. One of them changed zoom modes for SD and one for HD. Cant remember which one. PRess info and you will see the modes that HD and SD content are on. I believe this feature is new to you since you were back on 282.

    811 firmware update not likely...

    Gary, 2.89 is not an update to fix issues on the head end. 2.89 has software fixes in it that are addressing customer issues. Yes the 811 is being replaced by the 411, yes the 921/942 will be replaced with MPEG4 versions, but Dish has actually had a good track record on continuing fix...

    811 firmware update not likely...

    Having a phased rollout with this number of receivers is actually a wise thing to do and is normal. rollout.... Listen for the yelling.... and if no yelling then go wider. This process minimizes exposure. The 811 has been doing this for that last couple of releases and I would not expect 289...

    You should try an place your 811 in standby nightly to insure the Guide gets updated and you receive updates. As to always have the Info screen up. My guess either a neighbor is sitting on your remote address or you have some other IR device interfering. Try changing your remote addy and see...
