    811 is screwed up after latest "upgrade"

    Was told last week from Executive tech that the 811s receiving OTA/guide was a "Glitch" and would be turned off in the near future. Was arguing with them about the no guide info on my new 622. Had to take the SD lousy Orlando locals and my other 2 - 811s are not working on my Tivos now...

    Anyone else seeing channels disappear on the 811?

    Also lost sound on 811 Checked the Optical cable and all connections. Everything looked right, was right. Sound on another tv with a 301 was OK. About an hour later later 811 sound came back on. Spooky Glitch.

    Is there a charge for 2nd Dish??

    I was told the second dish would be for the 811 to receive the HD channels. What you are saying, is that the 2nd dish is only for locals, correct. I am getting the locales OTA at this time. These retailers really confuse me. Thank You
