Can 811 boxes map down HD channels? My parents have 2 of them with the Legacy HD Pack and it would be much easier for them if the HD channels were mapped appropriately.

ESPNHD on 140 for example.

I know, but we still use them and this feature would be very nice.

Thanks for the response.

Too bad Dish has all but abandoned the 811.

It may be difficult to do, with the soon to be dwindling amount of HD channels viewable on the 811.

It isn't free! Your HD programming cost go up $10 per month. If you own your 811, then the upgrade also includes giving it to Dish and getting to pay a $5/month lease fee. All that money back, and free stuff on the front end is nice, but look at your monthly cost increase when the dust settles.
