Seems like a lot of trouble on a daily basis to watch the games you are missing. I would go the DVR route and sling the games to a portable display device. You can watch the games live, record games that you may miss, and avoid the possibility of losing your job if you get caught installing a...

Dish needs to add a list of "external hard drives that are or are not compatible with their receivers" to this page. I recently purchased the Samsung Story 1TB drive and spent 1 hour with technical support trying to recognize and format the drive only to find out that the drive is not...

I stream Pandora through my Roku box and it automatically logs into my Pandora account. The nice feature with Pandora on Roku is that the screensaver displays the current CD playing along with the cover art and title.

I started with Dish and the AEP package then dropped to AT250 with 2 movie channels and currently have the AT200 package with no movie channels. I recently added the Roku box and joined Netflix. Neflix has been great so far both in streaming quality and speed of DVD shipments. I hope Netflix...

I'm not 95 years old and I'm a computer geek working in the IT field. I love technology and have a lot of tech toys but I don't have a DVR. Why? Here are my reasons: 1.) I personally don't watch that much TV. 2.) I refuse to pay all the extra fees for using a DVR. 3.) The quality of TV...

Sounds like goaliebob99 is living up to his name and is currently broadcasting at 430 watts. Will someone please give Bob his meds before he blows a blood vessel. :rant: Seriously, I don't blame you for being upset. If you have been a Dish customer for a while, you should expect QVC-HD...

I had to call to get the other HD channels turned on. I have AT250 w/GoldHD and I receive 110/119/129 satellites. I had to call Dish to have the additional HD channels enabled. I tried to do it online but for some strange reason, I could not access my HD options under my account. :confused...

I agree! Definitely "no thanks" to DISH and a very nice "thank you" to Satellite Guys for notifying us of these changes. I had to establish a chat session with CSR to get my channels enabled. I tried to do it online but my HD options were not available to me for viewing. I could change other...

Vizio tuner issue suggestion I bet you are right on the Vizio tuner issue. Vizio tuners are not very good and there are a lot of issues posted on the internet for problems with the Vizio sets. I wonder if the Vizio tuners are having problems handling MPEG4 compression? IMO, I think...

I mute the loud advertisements I hate the loud commercials so much that I sit with the remote near me and I hit the mute button when they come on. It's always the same commercials that are doing this (Magic Jack, DirectBuy etc.) and it doesn't matter whether it's SD or HD channel. I wouldn't...

Try changing transponder I had the same problem with 129 and I was dropping signal. I thought my satellite dish was out of alignment but I decided to try and change the transponder channel to the strongest signal. I haven't had the problem since. I checked 129 transponder 22 and noticed that...

811 P3.35 download received When I arrived home from work today, I was prompted for the P3.35 software upgrade on my 811. :eek: I was real hesitant to upgrade but I figured the picture couldn't get much worse beyond the component wash out. I accepted the download and it took about 20...

Upgrade washed out my picture I got the upgrade on Tuesday and now my picture on my plasma looks like analog TV. :mad: The picture is all washed out and HDNET looks awful. I am running on Component outputs. Thanks Dish Network! I will give Dish Network one week to fix this new problem they...

Clink on the link below to see a photo of a guy in front of his house with 12 satellite dishes hooked up and #13 on it's way. He has 5,000 channels total. :eek: He definitely wins the award for the most complicated setup. Words he would never say....there is nothing good on TV tonight...

If it has as many problems as the 811, it should be Model 666.

Oops! Stickers are gone! Cyclone - you were correct on the stickers. :o I'm so focused on installing the equipment and watching the plasma, I forget to peel them off. After a while, I never even noticed them. I should have invited you over to relieve your compulsive disorder. :) I...

Pictures of my setup. I would first like to mention that I enjoy all the home theater photos that have been posted to this thread. The setup photos display some do's and don'ts when setting up a home theater. I also feel that you should design it by your budget and ask lots of questions to...

Subsciption Package Poll I am currently subscribed to AEP and HD packages. :cool:

Sirius is excellent! I love the sound and the selection. I am hooked on the 80's Hairbands channel and like the idea of uncensoring the music. :music Great move by Dish! :yes

Reset 811 Receiver daily I reset my 811 every day when I get home from work. :mad: I tried leaving the receiver off until I got home but I had to unplug the receiver after the guide downloaded and no picture. I then left the receiver on all day with a music station playing :music but that...

Switched from component to s-video results I switched from component to s-video and the picture went dark. Switched back to component and the picture was perfect. I could not test the difference with the component cables that came with the 811 vs the high-end component cables that I...

That is a possibility. The only way for me to find out if it's the component cables or the plasma is to switch over to s-video and check the brightness. I will try it today and post my results.

811 dark picture cleared with different cables. I was having the dark picture problem with my 811 when it was hooked up to my 19" TV using composite cables. I finally installed my Panasonic plasma TH50PHD6UY and used component hookup with Monster M1000V cables and the picture looks excellent...

Radio Shack #15-2185 in attic with 811 receiver - excellent! I live in Saint Augustine/Jacksonville, FL area which is flat terrain. I am using the Radio Shack Cat # 15-2185 with my 811. It's pricey but it does an excellent job. I have the antenna mounted in the attic of a one story home and...

Ordered 811/301 receivers and installed in 1 week. First, I would like to mention that I just joined the SatelliteGuys web site and I just want to thank everyone on this board for sharing their knowledge and experiences with everyone. I learned a lot reading the posts over the past couple of...
