The dreaded 811 receiver . I had this for one month before I gave up on the problems and traded it in for a 921 pvr. Of course this box too had problems but it was a dvr and I learned to baby sit it ,but it did work eventually. My favorite receiver that came out about 6 years ago was the 942 dvr. It had both analog and digital ota .
That was the first receiver I actually smashed with a hammer, as I couldn't stand the bugs in the software.
Shut your mouth...
(In my best Issac Hayes voice) "But I am talking about the 811!"
For those who don't get it take a listen to the Theme from the TV Show Shaft by Issac Hayes)
If I remember right, you sent me your 811 when you upgraded at the time (and I was still a dish sub)
boy what a friggin cruel trick you played on me

Correct Answer: It's a 381. I got the pic from ebay but if you scroll down through the page and click on some of those other pics, you can clearly see it's a 381. Dish Network 381 w/G3 purple Card | eBay
sorry but a 811 & 381 is the same receiver except for maybe a repaint of the "381" over the "811"
