Wow, no one sees anything that they like on the new channels? I was just cruising through and happened to stop on MHD. I really had no expectation of liking the channel considering that some of the stuff was supposed to come from MTV. I landed on a concert with The Who. It looked gorgeous to me...

I saw the pixellation on OTA on L4.05 when I had it the first time. It went away on all but channel 11 (local CBS affiliate) when we got L4.09. Now that we rolled back to L4.05 it is back on OTA again. I thought from what I read that the rollback was to fix some HDMI problems. I saw very few...

I sent my rebate in Jan 20 and checked the site about 2 weeks ago and it said it was being refused because I didn't send in my statement after the upgrade. I thought they wanted the first bill that showed the upgrade not the first bill immediately following the upgrade. Alaso, the message said...

That audio dropout also occurs on live OTA. I have experienced it both with the 811 and the 622. It usually happens once per hr and lasts about 5 secs or so. I thought it was our local ABC affiliate that had the problem. I had not heard a lot of other people in other cities say they had the...

I have had the audio dropouts on KTRK since my 811 days OTA. I don't have the HD LiL with dish. I believe it is a problem with the signal KTRK is sending out. My 622 does the same thing. If it doesn't happen on other recievers then it is some sort of incompatibility with the Dish receivers (or...

I haven't had to reboot for the EPG but I have seen that 3.37 seems to get lost when you have spent a long time on the OTA side. When you go back to sat it causes the receiver to go through acquiring satellite and it then it downloads the guide. Also, in the process of trying to resolve the...

I had 3.35 prior to 3.37 and it did NOT have the problem. It appears that it only affects the OTA channels for me. The sat channels stretch just like they always have. Mike

Well, new to my 811 with the 3.37 download is the screwup of the 811's stretch modes. It worked fine before I took the download and today when you press the Page Up key on the remote when it enters stretch mode it shifts the image to the right of the screen. It actually shoves part of the...

Looks like it has been a while since anyone has updated this thread. I got my 811 Feb of 2004. I'm still at 284 but I have mine set to ask for permission before downloading. I got a request a couple of weeks ago for it (probably 285) and I told it no. I was getting ready to watch a show coming...

Bobby Yeah, I turned the 811 off with the remote last night and when I turned it on this evening it did not ask again. n0qcu that sounds like a good thing to try. I'll set the accept update automatically and when it cycles back around maybe it will take it. Then I can set it back to ask...

I got offered 284 yesterday and decided not to take it because of the problems 282 caused. I wanted to wait and see if others were going to have problems. today I turned the receiver on and did NOT get offered the upgrade. I guess if you don't take it when it gets offered then you get put at...

Here's my situation. 1) What is your boot version. LADD??? LABD?? < Boot: 1013LADD Software: P282LADD-N > 2) How long have you had your 811? < About 8 months > 3) Any major stability issues since you had your 811? < Rare BSOD. Biggest problem was whenever I tuned to my...

It might be a channel that is off the air or one that is weak. My local PBS station falls under that category. It used to take a long time(5+ minutes) to lock on it. One of the updates had it popping in within a sec or 2. The releases since seem to make it take longer and longer and now 282...

EPG has stopped working I went ahead and took the upgrade last week and everything seemed to work fine. This week funny things have started showing up. The EPG sounded great but it looks like all they are doing is passing the Dish EPG not the info from the local stations PSIP. The first...

This only works if you are already on an OTA channel. If you try to switch to an OTA channel from a satellite channel then it stays right on the satellite channel. Mike

My PPV stayed in the history for one month and after it got reported it showed up on my bill. I had a Charlie free movie coupon, I included it in the last payment and the PPV event is gone from my history. I did nothing to clear it. I would think that once it is reported it would be cleared...

Scott Great addition. I love being able to get all my news and forum reading in one spot. By the way, I use the Albion RSS reader. Mike

I have had my 811 for about a month now and have seen The 49% no lock problem on PBS-HD channel The acquiring sat and guide download when I hit the guide button while on OTA The need to periodically reboot the receiver because it just goes 'nutz'. I like the HD picture on Discovery and...

This is the way I have been leaning since I started getting the 49% problem on my local PBS station. All of the other local channels come from pretty much the same direction (SW of me). By checking AntennaWeb.org I found out the direction the stations are transmitting from. NBC 186* PBS 186*...

I take it all as a matter of priorities. My priority now is to get my local PBS-HD to lock in as quikly as all my other locals. Once that is done then I will probably be sqawking about the program guide too. :D Mike

Thanks Iceman. I will give them a call. I use the OTA tuner all the time. Specifically CBS and the PBS-HD channels. This is the 2nd 811 for me in the last 2 weeks. The first one must have been sitting on my dealer's shelf since last year because when I got it home and tried to download the...

Thanks Wee Java Dude. That is what I was trying (apparently not with much success) to say. There IS a Guide (of not much use at this point in time) but when laid next to the Dish provided locals can give you an idea of what is on at that time. No one said anything about timers working. I don't...

Iceman Do you have any idea what it is about the particular signals that that chip has problems with? I have just gotten an 811 about 2 weeks ago and it has a problem on my local PBS station. I get a signal up in the 80-90s and then it drops to 49% and it cycles through that for several...

Yes, it does give you a guide for the OTA stations you receive. Unfortunately not all stations are broadcasting the program material so the OTA guide in the 811 usually shows no information. You say you're getting an 811 so I will assume you are subscribing to Dish now. IF you do and you get...

Hmm, I get it everyday. Especially if I leave the 811 set on OTA. The first time I try to access the EPG I get the acquiring sat msg and then it downloads the guide. I just thought that was normal due to the lack of a hard drive to store more information. Should the 811 be able to communicate...
