    Channel Surf Reboot Bug

    To try and get a better handle on this one. I thought it would be good to move it to its own thread. This seems to be the biggest issue with 2.82. What I think would be good if we can try and find some commonality here for the people that are having it. If you are running into it, it would...

    721 users moving to a 921

    Currently I have a 4x3 HDTV with a 721 hooked up. With the price drop, I was thinking about moving to a 921 to take advantage of the HD I have in the house. Any previous 721 users make this jump and if so any regrets? I am aware of the double buffer issue. I also would need to get my...

    Some 721 bugs I have noticed lately

    I have had a few things happen recently on my 721. Wondering if anyone has seen these. 1) I missed my first recording last week. What was strange about it was that it showed it was recording channel 4 on the EPG, but when you went to the PVR menu it showed channel 7. Instead of getting...

    Few Questions: 811: Q: Is there plans to offer the ability to set 1080i/720p/480p on a SD/HD basis. Currently there is only one setting. If so, will this include a native option also. A: At this time the 811 supports 1080i/720p/480p using component cables (YPrPb). DVI is...

    Pronto with the 811

    I have a Pronto 3000NG and I created a number pad for it. I am having trouble with the 811 always getting a numeric keypress. Does anyone have a pronto that is getting good numeric keypress. If so, I would welcome any advise on getting the accuracy up.

    Possible bad SW64? Is there anything I can do to bring it back to life?

    I just started having problems with with what looks like a possible SW64 switch problem. I have had this switch for a long time. The reason I feel that it is my switch is because I have tried two check switches (508 and 721) and they both failed the switch test. The 721 took ages to go...

    2.81 811 release. What are the new bugs?

    Thought I would put a place holder to post the new bugs and to indicate what bugs are still there. The two that I would be most interested in: 1) Is the Acquiring signal bug still there (My guess yes). 2) Post any reports of lose video. (HOpefully they squashed this one) Let...

    Thoughts on the Acquiring signal bug.

    I have been both a 6000 user and a 811 user and I have had personal experience with this bug over the last couple of years. I have also read most of the different opinions as to what might be the cause and the different work arounds that people have suggested that work for them. I have also...

    Since 2.69, how many times does your 811 require a reboot?

    Thought It would be interesting to get a feel for how many times we have rebooted our 811's since 2.69. 2.69 was released on 8/2

    Are you happy with your 811 OTA

    This is just a poll to get a feel for what the 811 users. Just like the 721, 508 and the 921 you see mainly the problems on the site. So lets see who is actually enjoying the OTA on the 811 and how many people are still trying to get the signal lock.

    811 OTA installation experience

    Thought it might be a good idea to get a pulse from fellow 811 users on there OTA installation experience. This is a tough poll since there have been some software updates that fixed issues. Lets try to capture opinions from the current 266/267 firmware. You can select multiple things...

    Are you happy with your 811?

    Since there is the class action lawsuit poll, thought we should take a reading of how many 811 user out there are happy. Please, if you have not gotten an 811 yet, don't post no because you have not received one. That is a whole different issue.

    Current 6000 owner should I jump at an 811

    WOW.. the 811 deal is great news. Anybody have any idea how long the deal will last. I am a current 6000 user and I am thinking about jumping but not sure if it is worth it. 1) How much better is DVI vs Component? (I Know this is subjective) 2) What do you gain going to the 811? 3)...
