No that sneaky feeling tells me that there will be no more acknowledgement of the problem from Dish. And that feeling tells me that units which are just coming out have the problem fixed.markusian said:Does this sneaky feeling tell you that a hardware recall might fix it?

With that said I don't believe (infact I am SURE) there won't be a recall, instead you might call in sometime in the near future and be able to get a RMA and maybe just maybe you will get one of the new units.
This way Dish can quiet the squeeky wheels without recalling all the units.

I have origionally been told what I reported above from my insider contacts at Dish.
I have not officially reported it because I do not believe Dish will officially confirm this. They feel that only a few videophiles are complaigning about the problems, and Joe Sixpack does not seem to notice the problem.
This actually may work out for them if people with 811's who want to exchange units for a fixed one can do so without jumping through a million hoops.

can we call and have it replaced.The dark video is the biggest complaint
I have with my 811 because of the way it affects my vcr recording.If they
don't replace it then they should let me out of the commitment to the HD
package.The 811 is a piece of junk at any price if they won't fix or replace
because of the dark video.I bought it in good faith they should replace or
fix it in the same way!!!

That's what DVI was invented for, digital to the panel... baby!
