I guess I'll add to this HDMI issue on my DishNotWork vip211.
I was running HDMI to DVI on a samsung HDTV as all it has is component and DVI.
Worked great for months.
Then last week I bought a new plasma HDTV w/ 2 HDMI inputs. So I hooked it to HDMI on my receiver. Lasted about a day and then gone. I thought maybe my tv's HDMI input broke. But I decided to hook up my old HDMI-DVI cable to my old samsung that I still have and that did not work either. So I came to the conclusion that the Vip 211 hdmi died. Called dish and they sent me a new receiver and once again my HDMI works. I wonder for how long though? I turned off auto updates this time. I guess we'll see. The tech that authorized my new receiver said it is a software issue and if it breaks again to just use component until a new update comes down the pipe.
