The caller ID is still not working on my Hopper. Works for the rest of the day after a reboot and then goes away the next day. We who have this problem have been patient but it's been quite a while. It would be nice if Dish would take care of this. I know some who have other problems...

Update 211 gave us Auto hop. This is a neat feature but some of the problems many of us were having still aren't fixed. Dish should concentrate on fixing these glitches before adding more features to the Hopper. Caller ID still doesn't work on my Hopper. Also, the favorites guide still...

Dish has promised additional Hd local channels since June. At first I figured the Olympics delayed them. Now I suppose Eastern arc is the excuse. I say enough is enough, Dish, get your butt in gear and open 'em up already. If you're not really ready to do this stuff quit talking about...

About a two weeks ago I decided to re-upgrade to HD. It took about 9 days before the tech finally arrived to do this. He said long waits are becoming commonplace around here (Southwestern Wisconsin) as techs are getting hard to find. He got out a Dish 1000 and installed it along with a new...

I am considering going back to HD. I had it taken out after being an early adopter when HD first started on Dish. I wanted the regular channels I was getting to be in HD and unfortunatly that was a long way off. Also, the receiver, a first generation two tuner non DVR did a lousy job with...

I just had a 625 installed and while I'm happy with the unit, the fan noise is loud enough that I wonder if it is normal. I really can't hear much from the 508 on the other TV but the fan noise in the 625 is quite noticible, especially if there are quiet scenes on whatever channel I'm watching...

Charlie says the $299 is to lease a 622. Is that fee a one time thing or do we have to pay that each year? I sure hope it's one time.

I currently have a 508 and a 811. The 508 is upstairs and the 811 is downstairs. If I were to get a new dual tuner mpeg 4 DVR receiver (whether or not it is HD) how would the upstairs set be connected? I use the cable connector for the VCR...(Cable to the VCR and VCR to the TV). My 508...

When speaking about recording programs running over the scheduled time, the "tech guys" stated that all we had to do was select the show from the guide and set it to start one minute early or run three minutes later (or both). The 522 menu does indeed show this menu. However, my 508 only...

A while back Dish mentioned something about changing the LNBs on the 105 Superdishes over to 121. Since then everything has been quiet. Does anyone know if this is still being planned? All the new dishes going up in my area are now with 121 LNBs. Should I expect a change? :confused:

Last night it was mentioned that some receivers do not get channel 100. They didn't mention the 811 but when I checked my guide, channel 100 was not there. Do I have to reboot or something? Or is this just another upgrade that's coming?

PJL was right about the black screen when trying to use a VCR timer event. This was working OK before the latest update. On a whim I desided to check it out. :(

My 811 was installed today. It works just like already mentioned in other posts. Hopefully, it will be better when the aspect ratio download happens along with the guide upgrade. I can watch SD using the s-video input and then the picture can be zoomed with my TV so it fills the screen...

The best reading I'm seeing for 105 with superdish is 57. All the transponders are between 48 and 55. It seems low but maybe it varies in various sections of the country. On 110 many of the readings are 125. I'm in Southwest Wisconsin. What kind of readings are you other Superdish...

My dealer didn't want my old Dish 500 after the Superdish install. He said he had no use for it. I thought maybe he'd hear from Dish Network and they'd tell him he'd have to take it. So far that hasn't happened. :? This was interesting because a while back future Superdish owners were...

After reading about all the noisey 8vsb module fans, I started wondering if the module was removable on the new 811. I know it is removable on the 6000 but I think it's built into the 811. I can't get any OTA locals without extraordinary effort anyhow so I was thinking of just removing the...

We subs here in Southwest Wisconsin are anxiously waiting for the Madison locals. From what I've been told this is supposed to happen on November 6. It wouldn't surprise me if it was delayed again like everything else has. Lately, I've been reading a lot about poor locals picture quality...

I was just messing with the guide on my 508 yesterday and noticed it would only go out 1 week. When I first installed it went out about 2 weeks. Was there something in the 199 update that changed how far out the guide would go or is it just my 508 doing this? Maybe you need a 510 and...

Hi. I'm a recent newbie to satillite and to this forum. Recently, I've been reading several posts about a noisy fan in the model 6000 8VSB module. While most subs in our village can get a few OTA stations, I live in a valley and can't get anything. About the only way would be with a...
