P.O.S. 811 Strikes Again!!

I would bitch and scream if I'd purchased this new but I was aware of the problems this stb has had since it's debut, so I purchased it well knowing it had an awful track record. I can live with it until Dish transitions their HD to MPEG-4 then I'll have to get a HD DVR and relegate this POS to the scrap heap or use it for OTA only.

If your Dish equipment is not purchased from Dish or an authorized Dish dealer, they will not cover it under the extended warranty. I know, I bought a quad LNB and tried putting it on there and they refused.

Strange - considering that E* does NOT track LNBs, or retailer's installations/upgrades of outdoor equipment.

In other words, it sounds like you're a victim of yet another stupid CSR.
 
Actually it would be a smart CSR because they convinced him into thinking he couldn't get it on the warranty...
 
Wow....... I did not even know the 811 had a hard drive.
 
So are you guys telling me that I can place my used 811 which I purchased from a private party on my Extended Warranty plan? I have the old plan which costs $1.99/month.
 
That is correct ALL Dishnetwork branded equipment is covered. There is no reason to tell them where any of it was purchased.

Hi Darrell, I have the same plan. There is nothing that states the warranted equipment has to be purchased from Dish, or that you have to notify them of any equipment you add. I had a 508 die that I purchased from Dish Depot and I use in my motor-home, called Dish and they sent me a another 508, no argument, no cost.

Well, here's a new one I've never experienced before, it reminds me of my old, trusty 6000: I just turned on my 811 and it has been off since 11 PM last night and was tuned to an OTA digital channel. I turned it on, hit Guide and guess what? NO FRICKIN GUIDE DATA! It had to acquire the satellite & download the guide, and the receiver was turned OFF. Crap, even the 6000 will keep the guide data current when tuned to OTA if it is powered off.
