    SoftWare Update: v.281

    Well there is a thread about Receivers that don't work with the 811 and DD. Mine(Onkyo 601) worked fine until a few weeks ago. So I stumbled across this problem and figured that nothing changed on my receiver...so that it was a software problem. But after reading that thread I can't tell if...

    Newbie OTA HD/SD question.

    Ok...thanks for the reply...I was beginning to wonder if someone would:-) To clarify...I can get locals over the air...not from dish. I know the antenna isn't part of the deal but I want to talk to the installer about my options and the cost. I am sure I can handle it (I am handy enough to...

    I am new to the whole satellite thing. I am planning a free dish 811/301 combo. Our HD locals are not offered here yet so I need to get my locals somehow. I know the 811 can get my local HD OTA for its room with an antenna. But will that same antenna work for SD tv in my other room. And How...

    HD and PVR... 2 rooms

    Ok...one more thought...can I sign up for a three room system with the 811 and 2-301's and then drop the 3rd reciever from service(to save the $5 add. box fee) then sell off the 2 301's to help pay for the 510 I really want...or am I obligated to run all three recievers for the full year? Am I...
