Well if the 6000 is too bright, my TV's internal tuner must also be too bright! I better call the ISF certified tech. who charged me $400 for my ISF calibration!!!
The fact of the matter is that the 811 has black levels way above where they should be. The 6000 is not too bright, I say this because there is no perceptible level changes between my TV's internal tuner and the 6000 (on my 65" Mitsubishi) whereas when the 811 (currently hooked up to a standard def 20" TV) is hooked up to the same 65" Mitsubishi, the picture is unacceptably dark. This is particularly noticable when watching darker shows such as X-Files.
I don't know if Dish can correct this with a software update, but if they can, I'm willing to give them a chance to make it right. If it isn't fixed in six months, I'll be pushing them for either a replacement 811 or selling it off and rolling my 6000 over to that TV (I'll hopefully have my 921 on the Mitsubishi by that time).
Dish? Get on it!
Happy Holidays!
