"No info" on EPG on 811

[Mr Tony]

OK...I've had this 811 for 4 days now and its really bugging me.

I have the nice 44hr guide...then I flip to a digital OTA channel for even 10 minutes and when I go back to satellite I get "No INfo" on guide and it freezes up. So I so a reset.

Someone said to always leave it on a satellite channel when you turn it off. Well last night I left it on 101 and today when I hit guide I still get "no info". I turned unit on. It was on 101. For fun I went to 213 and hit guide and I get no info

Is this normal that every time I go to a OTA for a while I'll have to do a reset to get the guide back?
(the box isn't activated yet so I don't know if that makes any difference)

This has been a bug that has been fixed depending on what software versions you've gone through. I don't really now how to fix it, but I've gotten rid of it. Try doing pulling the plug on the receiver the next time the no info comes up

 

[Mr Tony]

its the current software.

I'll try the pull the plug next time

How about a hammer?

 

[Mr Tony]

doubt it. I want the box to work at least

The guide for the current program and the next program is in there. Just like my old 5000

Exactly the 811 was a fine receiver for a while, then there was a period where dish screwed up the receiver with their sh!tty program. They did more harm to the receiver than good
