Hi. I'm a recent newbie to satillite and to this forum.
Recently, I've been reading several posts about a noisy fan in the model 6000 8VSB module.
While most subs in our village can get a few OTA stations, I live in a valley and can't get anything. About the only way would be with a tower about 50 or more feet high. That would be impractical for me.
Because of this I don't think I'd need the 8VSB module. However, I understand it's built into the new 811 receiver. I suppose this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't noisy but since I just replaced a subwoofer amp because of a noisy fan I really don't want to get into that again.
My question is, would I be able to remove the module from the 811 if it is noisy? Or have they improved it so it's not noisy?
While I'm addressing this to Scott I'd welcome info from anyone who could help. I am ready to step into HD and while I'd prefer the 921 my wife would prefer not to spend $999. I'm using the 508 now and I hate the thought of attaching it to the second TV when I get the 811. I really like using the DVR. Thanks guys.
