I have actually spoken to a high level Dish engineering manager responsible for the 811. The 811 "49%" OTA problems are with multipath rejection and dealing with faulty/non-standard encoding at the source, the transmitting stations. The 811 performs much poorer than many other brand receivers in...

I'll bet your problem is the 811. It is one of the poorest OTA receivers around. It has trouble with some PSIP encoding as well as multipath rejection and interference from adjacent channels. The only way to prove this is to try another receiver, a stand alone one. I got the Samsung T151 and a...

JVC "makes" some, including mine. Make=manufacture. It is an Echostar design, multiple manufacturers.

The dark picture on the 811 SD outputs cannot be fixed in software, it is a hardware problem. It will be tweaked in the next release but not fixed. Thats one of the reasons it is taking so long to get that release out. Remember it was supposed to be fixed in 255. I will not state how I know...

I think there is more to this. Where I live, in mountainous terrrain, all the local stations have multiple repeaters for their analog signals so everyone in the area can get them. I was told that with the DTV rollouts a few years ago, each station was allocated only one frequency for digital...

I have both connected to my TV, Sony 42we610, LCD rear projection, from my 811. I can flip back and forth rapidly. I can see no difference. By the way, contrary to the 811 manual, the DVI and component outputs are simultaneously active!

My local CBS station mailed me the waiver. I called Dish and got the number to fax it to. Dish phoned me 2 days later to set it up, took about 10 minutes for it to appear. Try going directly to the channel number rather than waiting for the guide to update.

I made one of my regular calls to Dish yesterday about 811 problems. I talked to an advanced tech who really tried to be helpful. Anyway, he said the 265 release is cancelled and the next release will be 266, no date. I specifically asked about the many OTA problems and he said he was told they...

Well, the 811 is not a piece of junk. It does perform its main function of receiving signals and displaying on your TV. It does have LOTS of problems that range from constantly annoying to not functional (OTA performance). The JUNK is not the 811, it is Dish Networks handling of it. They do not...

When watching an OTA channel it periodically (once an hour?) starts to "stutter", like not all frames are showing. Changing to another OTA channel does same thing. Changing to a satellite channel then back to OTA fixes it. Anyone see this?

I got the DHP in December. At that time all the equipment was free but there was a one year commitment. I have seen the program guide loading problem, loops forever, have to do a POR (hold power button on receiver for more than 5 seconds). I have also seen the program guide "whacked out". A few...

The 264 release fixed some guide issues but made new ones. My biggest problems are OTA related. 1. Now, when I switch from an OTA to satellite channel it has to retrieve all the guide info which takes a few minutes. I have also actually had it hang during this process requiring a POR. 2...

Adding CBS HD You do need a second dish if you are not currently pointed at 148 or 61.5. Dish will charge you $100 to install it. HOWEVER, there is a way to get it free in many cases. If you subscribe to the local channel package and you want to receive the local Telemundo (Spanish Language)...

Lost 148 fix Dish tech was just here to fix 811 lost 148 problem. He was prepared to change LNB and Switch to Legacy. Instead we tried aiming to 61.5. Seems to work fine. The only station (of importance to me) I got from 148 was KCBS LA HD. We called dish and switched to WCBS NY HD. I hope...

811 lost 148 Dish Fix Same problem just started (hmmm). Called Dish they acknowledged known problem. Fix in software, when???. I told them unacceptable. They said a hardware fix is to replace my LNBs annd Switch with Legacy equipment (really????). This is scheduled for tomorrow. Anyone hear...

All of a sudden my 811 doesn't get signal from 148 (from second dish). My 322 does, so it is obviously an 811 problem. I called support and they say it is a (newly) known issue and if I want it fixed immediately they will replace my dishes, LNBs and Switch with Legacy equipment. WHAT...

I made one of my regular calls to E* tech support, but yesterday I spoke to an advanced tech who was really helpful (and honest). He read me their list of known 811 problems (I have been after E* to send me this for a month). I think just about all of the problems mentioned in this forum are on...

Like many here I have seen many 811 problems. I had a new one today where it just dropped 2 stations (POR fix). I make it a point to call E* every time even though I know they will just tell me to do a POR or a Switch Test. I am now changing to emailing them on every problem every time it comes...

Is this really the way it is? I just got Dish installed a week ago (with an 811). I have observed most of the problems stated here. I have called Dish at least 15 times already. I understand the wonderful "power on reset" fix, but this is ridiculous. Tech support doesn't acknowledge Dish at...

Tech replaced the DP34 switch on Saturday. Have done many power cycles and it is OK so far. Has anyone with this problem tried replacing the switch? It may be the problem is a matching between the 811 and the switch. I know the 811 outputs different DC voltages to cause the switch to go to the...

More on 811 problem Had a Dish Tech here today. problem actually happened while he was here. Seems to start on power up, though not every one. Clears by doing a switch test or POR. he replaced the switch. We'll see what happens. I have a feeling this is an 811 software problem. Dish said if it...

I have a new Dish installation. Sometimes when I turn the system on the 811 cannot find signal for HD channels. The HD transponders on that satellite show no signal (only the HD transponders, rest OK). I have called dish and a POR clears the problem but it keeps happening. Anyone else or any ideas?
