    Nothing but gray bars. ????

    Never mind. Since when did those Page up and down buttons do anything? :confused: LIke go through different aspect picture formats-gray bar, normal, stretch, zoom, etc. See, I said I didn't watch very much. And I haven't been reading this forum enough to keep up. Jeez. Thanks...

    Nothing but gray bars. ????

    I can't see anything but gray bars on an HD telecast. It will not display 16X9, only a 4X3 with gray bars. The 811 is playing through DVI input into my Samsung DLP. I noticed this some time ago, but didn't take the time until today to troubleshoot it. The 811 can say the broadcast is HD...

    Can I tell Dish to shove it and still get local OTA?

    Thanks. I was one of the ones who called "Adam" at Dish HQ and got the 811 shipped. I paid for it. $199, I think. Nothing was ever said about a commitment for service in general or HD package specifically.

    Can I tell Dish to shove it and still get local OTA?

    I'm going to hang it up with Dish. Other than the usual complaints about their service in general and the 811 receiver in particular, I don't watch enough satellite TV to make it worth the monthly bill. I think it is costing me about $20/hour for what we watch. I'm sure this has been...

    The new 811 software ver 265 is here!

    For DVI output and EPG, I didn't notice that there had been an upgrade. But when I read about 265 here, I immediately checked the S-Video and composite video outs, which I route to the Tivo. PQ is noticeably improved. Previously, it was so dark and so over-driven with color, that it was...

    Local Channel Quality

    I never got a good PQ on locals with our 301 receiver. Very unhappy about that. Now that we have the 811, I tune the locals with either the 811 or with the Tivo. SD PQ is really quite nice. HD versions are outstanding.

    Possible delay in 811 dark picture fix.

    Same with mine. I love the PQ on DVI. In most cases just as good as a DVD. On Composite and S-Video, the picture is dark and oversaturated with color. It makes my Tivo basically useless, since anything it records is IMHO unwatchable. I keep searching for a substitute HD tuner until...

    email the ceo and you'll get a 811

    It's here Mr. Lime, I figured you would get your 811 and I would still be waiting. But ours came today UPS. So, I'd think Adam was true to his word and something else happened along the way to your shipment. I spoke with Adam about 5 PM CST last Monday and it came today. Denver to Dallas...

    Mr. Lime4x4, let us know when you get it. Adam was supposed to ship mine Monday or Tuesday. Sure would be nice to have it for the weekend.

    email the ceo and you'll get a 811

    Well, it seems our Adam is not infallible. As reported above, he scheduled my install for this morning. Dish called last night and said they had no equipment and the next possible date was March 8. !! I think I will call Adam again and ask him to ship me one, rather than having a tech...

    email the ceo and you'll get a 811

    Yep, me too Emailed the ceo address yesterday. Adam call the house within an hour. Installation scheduled for Monday morning. Then we can move from the class of unhappy people without 811's to the class of unhappy people who have an 811. :) H*ll, at least we're moving.
