    P264 on 811 lost one of my favorites...

    Before the 2.64 update, I had an "HD" favorites list with SHOHD, HBOHD, ESPHD, DSCHD, HDNET, HDNMV. Now SHOHD is missing from the list, and every attempt to add it back fails. Has anyone else seen this? Is there some favorites limit I'm bumping up against? matt.

    DD 5.1 and OPTICAL out NOT a problem of the 811?

    gb42: Nope, no help from E*. I don't really expect anything from them. As you can see, it only happens with certain audio processors. I'd guess that this problem will continue until I get a new audio system. matt.

    DD 5.1 and OPTICAL out NOT a problem of the 811?

    I called E* to report this problem 3 weeks ago and they would not send me a new 811. They said it was a known issue and a new 811 would not fix it. I believe them. My 501 works fine, but my 811 does not. matt.

    811 Dolby Digital output Issues

    H/K Sig 2.0 doesn't work either My Harman Kardon Signature 2.0 tuner behaves like dhole's Onkyo: my 501 receiver can output DD to it (using the DD/PCM setting), but moving the optical cable from the 501 to the 811 doesn't result in any usable signal. The only output I can get from the 811 is...

    811 Software P263 here!

    recall now works from OTA digital <-> sat The "recall" button with 262 didn't work when going from OTA digital to sat channels. Now, for me, it works with 263. matt.

    optical audio probs w/811?

    lack of audio == static I'm sure that some audio processors "output" silence rather than static when they get an input they can't handle. I'd bet that our 811's have the same problem, but with different symptoms... matt.

    optical audio probs w/811?

    Yep. This is widely known. There's also a signal coming from the DVI output when the receiver is "off". Perhaps a better description is that the receiver is in "standby mode" when no lights are on the front panel... matt.

    optical audio probs w/811?

    Re: replacing a defective 811 Nice. Now why didn't they offer me a new 811? Time to call back and escalate... Tim, please post again after you get your new 811 to let us know if it works. matt.

    optical audio probs w/811?

    drop out when using "dd only" That's to be expected, unless you're watching a "DD" program, since you're telling the receiver that your audio processor can't handle anything but DD. At least that's my experience with the 501. My problem is that I get "machine-gun"-like static from the 811...

    optical audio probs w/811?

    got the converter, but no better I hooked up the optical->coax converter, but the behavior is the same. Called Dish and they said it was a known problem that the engineers are working on. I asked them to send me a new receiver but they said any replacements would have the same problem. matt.

    optical audio probs w/811?

    I ordered this optical/coax converter: http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/audio_toslink_adapters.html#pof-830, so we'll see how that goes. The HK might be sensitive to flakey optical inputs. matt.

    optical audio probs w/811?

    Mine is a Harman Kardon Signature 2.0 preamp (firmware 2.10a). Like I said, it works fine with the optical out on the 501, but not the 811. (Too bad they didn't offer coax digital out on the 811...) matt.

    Forgot to mention: PCM only works fine, but that's not really what I want... matt.

    optical audio probs w/811?

    I just got my 811 installed today, joining a 501. I'm using the DD/PCM setting for the optical out on the 501 to my DD receiver just fine, but when I try the same thing on the 811 (even with a program that indicates DD), I just get pulsing static instead of audio. Also, I noticed that the...
