I currently have a 622 with Top 200 channels. My 622 is on its last legs with the HDMI not working (component out works) and now optical audio is not working. Would a DIRT member please contact me on upgrading my 622 to a Hopper with Sling and USB OTA Module. Thank you.

Here is what I did to correct the problem: 1) Deleted all my OTA local channels 2) Soft Reset 3) Re-scan all OTA local channels So far my 811 is not requesting to download local guide data every time I enter the guide. Hope this helps anyone else that is experiencing this issue.

I have ver. P381 and experiencing the same problem as well. I believe it started happening to me early this week. Had the 811 since 12/04 and haven't had a problem with it. Also tried a hard and soft reset and that didn't resolve the problem. When I enter the guide, I've been just hitting...

Is there an expiration date for this upgrade offer? This sounds like this upgrade is for 'early adopters' who want the new HD channels and locals. If you are in no hurry to view the new HD channels, is it wise to just sit on the fence until everything (HD and SD) switches to MPEG4 and wait...

I emailed Dish regarding the possibility of mirroring the Voom channels to 148; here's their reply: Dear Mr. Yra, Thank you for your email correspondence. I have no information as the channels are currently at 61.5 from the rainbow satellite. Sincerely, Mark H. Technical Support...

In my setup, I only have two coax connections; and I have a 811 and a 510 connected to the same tv. So, coax out1 goes to a diplexer, and from the diplexer to sat in and antenna in of the 811; coax out2 goes to the 510. To my eyes, I see no degradation in signal strength or picture quality. I...

I'm using DishPro technology with an 811, 510, and a DishPro adapter with an 4700/4900 receiver, and all receivers see 110/119/148 fine. I only had problems with the 811 not seeing the 148, but this has since been fixed with version 265. I think the DishPro adapter emulates a SW64, since the...

I use a Xantech IR repeater system; 4-output connecting block using 2 dual emitters and 2 single emitters and an IR receiver (i think the dinky link). Had it since 2001 and haven't had any problems with it. http://www.xantech.com/

This is correct. However, the software for JP1 remotes will also allow you to change the remote address. To program my 510, I downloaded the codes for a 508 and used the software to change the remote address to 10. Here's more info on JP1 Remotes

Yes. Using a JP1 remote (radio shack 15-2116), I can control both my 811 (on remote address 1) and my 510 (on remote address 10); I use the SAT device key for the 811 and the VCR device key for the 510.

In December, when I ordered both the 811 and 510, the 510 deal was $99 with a 1 year commitment or free with a 2 year comitment. I opted for latter.

I use Canare 75-ohm F-connectors with no prolems on my dish pro equipment. However, you need crimp tools (which can be costly) to install them.

I have a 510 and an 811 connected to my HD RPTV. I have a Pioneer PRO510, and if you have sources on 2 separate inputs, PIP is available. Right now, all my sources are going through a video processor, so I can't use PIP. You will need 2 sat cables, you cannot split the sat signal. In my...

I notice this as well ... I'm in the the east bay. I also see that KRON also gets mapped to 57and not to 4 ... could this be a KRON issue instead of an 811 issue? Channel 48 also stays put on my 811.

from my understanding that a balanced transformer takes your incoming 120VAC and splits that into +/- 60V components with respect to earth ground (Line-to-earth, Neutral-to-earth). By using this method, it helps cancels most of the noise on your AC. When the the +/-60V component are summed by...

I agree. A good surge protector should suffice (like the series mode surge protectors from Zerosurge and Brickwall). You could also try a balanced transformer. That helped me in my system with noise and interference.

I'm also getting 12.1 fine, as well as KGO. What you're experiencing with KGO is similar to my situation with KPIX. When first tuning into that channel it has a hard time locking (locks and disappears), but once it gets a good lock, it doesn't drop it. This doesn't happen to me too often, and...

Would like to add: 23) Lost of 148 satellite when using DishPro swithces and LNBs. Until about 2/2.5 weeks ago, it was working fine, and E*'s fix: change DishPro to Legacy (IMO, not acceptable). 24) After viewing 0TA for over an hour and switching to a satellite channel the following...

I ran a check switch after the update and the 148 still shows 'CONN'. After exiting all the way out of the menu, it went to do more checks: 5 checks for the 110, 5 for the 119, and 5 for 148. So it seems to recognize the 148 but it's not pulling in the signal. Not a big deal for me since I...

I keep hearing a hiss from my speakers at low volumes, and was annoying at 8' away. I added an Isolation transformer from b-p-t.com to help suppress common mode noise, and now the hiss is barely inaudible. The BPT unit has MOVs inside, but wanted a series mode surge suppressor, so I added a...

Update: Tech came out on Sunday and he tried to use a legacy adapter with the 811; that didn't work. He called HQ and they told him the fix was to replace DishPro switches and LNBs to Legacy; and they also told him that a software update is coming out to fix this issue. They would have to...

you need to look at this thread Lost of the 148 is being discussed there.

The DVI connector on the 811 is DVI-D, so a DVI-to-VGA adapter will not work. You will need a transcoder to go from component to RGBHV. For transcoders you can take a look at products from Key Digital, Extron, and Audio Authority.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that DishPro LNBs combines the even and odd polarity onto one cable, while legacy did not. Since legacy equipment only accepts one polarity at a time, the legacy adapter is used to give the receiver whatever polarity it needs, odd or even. With...

I have to disagree. To my eyes, with the 811 doing all the processing (deinterlacing and scaling), SD from my 811 using component outputs to my Pioneer RPTV is pretty good. I feel the SD picture on the 811 is on par with a 510 that's connected to a video processor via S-Video and then...
