Message: [QUOTE="bloomingtong, post: 481960, member: 1955"] I noticed similar problems with my 811. BTW, my system does this with just satellite signal and not OTA. It quite frequently has the picture freeze up, and audio either... 1.) continue on behind the frozen image or, 2.) loop a short passage repeatedly. When either happens, reboot as you described takes place. I have also noticed that while in "guide" mode, the system has frequent lock-ups. I have had the 811 since they were first released via lease to subscribers. I have never really cared for the unit, and rather simply tolerated its "quirks" in order to watch HD. This weekend however after the latest round of 811 "bugs", (and hearing yet again from the family "what exactly do we pay extra and need this system for?”) I contacted Dish tech support to obtain a replacement unit. I am waiting to see if they replace the 811 with another 811, or provide a new (211) HD receiver. [/QUOTE]
