It appears that the timer to auto tune doesn't work on my 8111. It shows the timer and actually blinks...but never changes channel. Anyone else have this problem?
I set the auto tune last night, and when it went off, I no longer got *any* on-screen displays on my 811. As in, the channel banners, program guide, menus, were all gone. I would get a black screen when hitting the menu or guide key.
I turned the receiver off, then it would not turn back on. So I had to reboot it.
I think it's been confirmed that it will only work if you leave the receiver powered on. If you power off the unit, it will turn on at the appropriate time, but will show a black screen.
I, too, have used the 811 VCR timer succesfully many times since the 264 update, but only by leaving it powered on.
