    My 211 DVR function is activated

    If it is working, is it safe to say it would continue to do so?

    My 211 DVR function is activated

    Then explain to me why is it working on my other 211 box? And why does it work on my laptop too?

    My 211 DVR function is activated

    I bought a universal AC adapter last night for the EHD just to experiment if the other box would work or not. IT WORKS! A Dish technician is coming over this weekend and hopefully I will get a new 211 that will work without using an AC adapter for the EHD.:)

    My 211 DVR function is activated

    The drive does not come with external power and this is the main reason why I bought it. What problem will I have?

    My 211 DVR function is activated

    I have two 211 receivers and have activated DVR. I am using a 500 GB SimpleTech Signature mini which doesn't require external power and was able to use it successfully with one of the receivers. The thing that confuses me is when I connect the same EHD to the other receiver, it knows that a...

    HD Picture not filling up the entire screen of my HDTV

    I don't have that much issue in the top and bottom portion of the screen. I do see it happen with ESPN but it doesn't bother me that much. The thing that I see in most HDTV broadcast is that thin black bar on the left side of the screen. I think I set overscan to 0% using DVE. If I move the...

    HD Picture not filling up the entire screen of my HDTV

    I don't know how you get the percent overscan but I did calibrate it using DVE and it is centered. I can increase the resolution horizontally/vertically in the video processor and this corrects the problem but don't want to do that. I'm keeping it the way it is at 1920x1080P @ 60Hz. I was...

    HD Picture not filling up the entire screen of my HDTV

    Format is normal and I don't want to stretch or zoom it. Also I have tried connecting the box directly to the display and the same result. I can easily fix this by turning the 1:1 pixel mode off (scaling on) on the display. But I want my signal as pure as possible no scaling other than the...

    HD Picture not filling up the entire screen of my HDTV

    I wonder if anyone has noticed this. I currently have a Panasonic TH-65PF9UK 1080P plasma that has been set to do 1:1 mapping (no TV scaling). I have a VIP-211 box that is set to output 1080i connected to a video processor that converts it to 1080P. I noticed that most HD channels leave...

    Program Guide on Local Channels

    I can not justify paying $5.00 for a program guide specially if I can get it somewhere else. I guess I will find out when I get the plasma. Thank you for stopping me from blowing my brains out just to figure this one out.

    Program Guide on Local Channels

    Thank you for the very quick responses. Taking away local program guides. That's not nice. Is this a limitation of the new boxes or is this their way of making you pay for the program guide? What if I connect the antenna directly to a Panasonic 600u plasma with built-in ATSC tuner and...

    Program Guide on Local Channels

    I lost the program guide for my local channels for a while now, it now shows digital service. I have not subscribed to Dish local channels and currently use an outdoor antenna. I get all the local channels here in South Florida with very strong and clear signal. I have 2 boxes: VIP211 and 811...
