    Upgrade or Repair - Your Opinion is Wanted!

    Any word on 211 OTA issues?

    Hi All, My ViP211 has been unable to reliably tune any OTA station since the latest software upgrade. E* has admitted a problem and they 'are working on it'. Anyone have any idea when I can expect to watch OTA again? Thanks! Jeff P.S. E* replaced my 622 two weeks ago - no more...

    Hi all! Ordered Dish (ViP622, ViP211, SD rcvr, Dish 1000, 34 switch) - took 30 minutes. Got an install date of 3/21. :mad: I don't have any other TV option until they install (new house, no cable, no antenna). Anyone know how I can get the date moved up? :what Thanks! Jeff
