    921 "available" anywhere yet?

    My HD-PVR is on its way!! I should have it Monday or Tuesday. I've been on the waiting list for the 921 since mid December, and finally will get an HD-PVR by just ordering one on Wednesday. The only issue is that since it will say Hughes HR10-250 Tivo on it, I will need to switch to Directv. I...

    811 & my 1 year commitment

    I was told that I would have to pay $240 to leave Dish Network. I have an 811, 3 301s, two SW64s, dish 500 2 duals, and 1 dual for 148. I think selling these items would cover the charges. I'm waiting for the HD-TiVo to be more readily available and I also want to see if the 811 gets a hardware...

    The new 811 software ver 265 is here!

    Oakenshld, thanks for figuring this out for me. I didn't see the pattern. Yep, 48.2 was the last LOCAL I was adding. I have a few channels above 48.2, so I added one of them and now I have 48.2 AND the channel above is not included. I don't know why the dish support couldn't tell me this. I...

    The new 811 software ver 265 is here!

    OTA Problems still exist I cannot save channel 48-2 KNTV HD in my favorites list. This is a weird problem because the channel will show up in the ALL CHAN list and the SUB CHAN list. But I cannot save it in the list that I want to save it in. I tried to save the channel in a list named LOCALS...

    More than four receivers on SW44

    If you keep your legacy equipment, then you will need 4 spliitters (DC blocking) before the SW44 and add another SW44. You will not be able to add a splitter after the SW44 as this will prevent the reciever from signalling the SW44.

    Superdish LNB Question

    I never realized just how much simplier the DP34 was to the SW64 for an 8 receiver setup.

    My ramblings on the 811

    The problem with researching a product like the 811 is that each software release makes the 811 a much different product than the previous. It is difficult, to say the least, to determine which bugs are still present and which have been fixed when you go through all these posts. I think that...

    811 Still has terrible OTA problems

    It depends on the industry were are discussing. If we are talking about DTV, then we are referring to the digital signal that is sent to the TV. A digital set is one that can accept and process the digital signal. WLong was quoting this industry. If the industry is display devices, then you...

    811 Still has terrible OTA problems

    What viewable light source is not analog? I believe all display devices will need to output an analog signal at some point to accommodate our analog vision.

    The 811 OTA Digital Channel Mapping Issue

    This only happens if you add a name for the channel. If you leave it blank, then you get the warning message. If you save it anyway, The "Display Locals" option doesn't change.

    811 Lost Wing Satellite

    I wonder if some dish Engineer made an error when shutting down the HD signals that use to be on 148. Maybe the transponder that is being selected by the 811 is the defaut dishPro HD transponder and it is now 'off'. Or dish is testing their three HDs on a stick configuration and something that...

    SBC / DISH Product Brochure

    Apartment Homes Only? This seems to be an offer that is meant for apartment complexes. So I would guess that one of the pluses here is that you will not need to worry about having a Southern facing balcony and setting up a dish. Is SBC providing the satellite feed through the telecom cable?

    SW44 vs. SW64

    Ouch! I think you have a twin lnbf on a dish500 and a dual lnbf on your wing satellite dish. If so, you will need to replace the twin lnbf with two dual lnbfs. Then you will need to run two addition cables from the dish and connect every thing to an SW-64. The SW-64 must have the power...

    811 Lost Wing Satellite

    I'm in SF Area also, and do not have any problem getting 148. I have a dual SW-64 setup. I'm not sure of the distribution, but I believe that on one SW-64 I have the 811 and two 301 recievers. On the other SW-64, I have a single 301 reciever. I'm waiting on a 921 to make better use of the second...

    Wacky and Crazy 811 Antics.

    I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but using the guide, I did a page down until it scrolled back to the channel that had the mislabeled information. The information would change to the correct information. But, if I went to the channel and hit info, I got the wrong info again. Maybe...

    921 Delayed Another Week?

    Here is my release estimate/guess: From what I read in DBSTalk, Mark Lamutt has stated there is a bug "THE BUG" in the 921 that needs to be fixed prior to its release. Mark also said that the bug has been reproduced and is being fixed. So I am just checking...

    Need some technical advice on installing 2 SW64 switches.

    Well the same installer that started the job returned Sunday afternoon to complete the job. I asked about the lack of Feed-through Loads and his response was that they are not needed with these particular splitters. And after he installed the secondary sw64, everything worked as expected. I have...
