811 has poor 1080i to 720p scaling I also get the same results... much better picture on 1080i broadcasts by setting my 811 to output 1080i and let my 50" Samsung 720p DLP set do the scaling. It's the 1080i to 720p scaler in the 811... it's simply poor when compaired to doing the same...

P282 upgraded to P284 I was at P282. I received P284 just after noon CST. So far nothing crashed... :-)

SD picture quality via DISH Unfortunatly, I'm afraid your expectations of satellite broadcast SD picture quality are not in line with what DISH (or D*) broadcasts. The SD channels you receive via satellite are all compressed.... some more than others... but they are all compressed and carry...

P282 kills almost 1/2 my OTA stations My P282 problems are awful, but a bit different. I don't have issues when I change OTA channels except for certain ones... 1) One local OTA station (strong >90), when tuned to via the guide or direct, now immediatly goes into a flashing BSOD cycle of...

ditto ditto... problem here too...

If you are using component inputs on the sammy, you can compress it back to normal with the "Aspect" button on the sammy remote... If you are watching via DVI, that button does not work tho...

Bingo! The first two movies I saw on TNT-HD this weekend were stretched 4:3 .... yuck!

DVI cables Here is an e-bay example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3469448002&category=3668 $7.30 for first cable shipping/insurance included... $3.00 for each additional cable shipping included... Another example for $6.00 shipped...

DVI is preferred on DLP, LCD and Plasma On my Samsung HLN507W DLP, DVI delivers defintely better sharpness on native HD content. You can find lots of 6' DVI cables on e-bay for less than $10.00 shipped. You do not need to spend big $$$ on DVI cables, especially if you don't need one over...

I agree that on my HLN507W Samsung DLP and 811, the PQ is much better on 1080i material when the 811 is set to 1080i and let the set scale it to 720p. The only time 720p looks better in my setup is when the broadcast is in 720p. Also, I get noticably better resolution on native HD...

What version software is it running? When my 811 was on 263, it did that every day... On version 264, it has not happened once.

YEp... I've seen it ... Yes... it happens to me about once a week. I found that switching to a satellite SD channel clears it up. Switching to a satellite HD channel will not clear it up for me.

My only A/B comparison is with CBS-HD. They look the same in brightness to me. After I started watching OTA digital, I noticed that a LOT of network programming is very dark, back lit, etc... and with strange colors ... I have a 32" Sony SD set next to my Samsung HD set... and sometimes I'd...

You can do it, but I agree with the others... The composite inputs on my 811 give really poor results for me...

Jeff, I have a 50" Samsung DLP and an 811. The component connection looks great, but the DVI connection looks even better. It's especially noticable on native HD content. After doing MANY A/B comparisons with the 811 between the component and DVI outputs to the DLP set, the DVI is definitely...

811 and Digital OTA works good for me FWIW... My 811 works great for my OTA digital needs. I'm receiving all 7 OTA digital stations available in my market ... and with the 811, I receive one digital station OTA that I could not receive with my 6000 and the same antenna. I don't experience...

DVI is worth the trouble! DVI is definitely better than component when feeding my rear projection Samsung DLP.. I would go for the DVI with plasma, LCD, or DLP/LCD rear projection. BTW, DVI cables are not expensive... use e-bay... Cheers!

Mine refused to power up after it's 264 upgrade... I tried all the normal methods... it finally started working after I pressed each of the buttons in the center of the receiver's front panel and then the power button... not sure if that did it or not...

Since I don't own a 921, then if I want to DVR any network programming, I need locals on DISH.

Well, your eyes ARE getting older every day... ;) BTW... No change noticed here...

A *good* cable system's analog SD picture should be better than a DBS's SD picture due to compression artifacts in the DBS.... but good cable systems can be hard to find. If your cable feed is what it should be, I'm not at all surprised that it's better than DBS.

a) A large number of 811's simultaneously lost only one (148) wing sat b) All were working previously c) None have reported a code upgrade in the 811 with their symptoms d) Multiple receiver swap-outs around the nation have not helped All these things point to a change outside the 811...

What a tremendous waste of time for installers and customers. What a tremendous waste of time for installers and customers. A simple analysis of the trouble calls over the time period involved should show any reasonable person that it's a system problem and not 811 hardware related. It's...

BellSouth and Direct TV kicked off their bundle plan about 30 days ago. It's not very attractive... it's not even selling well with BellSouth employees, who get an extra $99 rebate over 3 months as a "special" deal....
