the vote has turned around! what is going on? Is there a big amount of first time HD receiver owners voting, who have nothing to compare this unit to, or is this unit really that good?
First off like someone stated earlier when you give only two choices (Black and white), people are going to place grey in either a white catagory or black. In my opinion this poll does not give a lot of information.
from my observations on the posts,
Some people think it is a piece of crap, think it is not even worth the $149 bucks they payed for it.
Others feel that it decent.. has some warts but nothing that would make them classify it at a SPOS.
40% dislike/hate the 811. Not hate the 811 as the other poster stated. Well thought at first look this is alarming, but then given the svideo issue I am not suprised. My guess is if 266 does fix this issue the numbers might change.
For me it is not how many people dislike the product, it is the why that is important. I think there is numerious threads that discuss this issue.
Having said that given the black/white question, I said I liked/loved my 811. To answer more specifically, I like it and it serves its purpose. I have some issues, but overall it does an acceptable job. I hope things will improve with it but it is obvious a work in progress.
Others feel the box rocks and ignore the warts or just don't run into them.
The majority of the people seem to fall into catagory two from what I can tell. I fall into that catagory. I had a 6000 for a year so my guess is that there is a percentage that fall into that catagory.
I noticed that people have started to read into the results of this poll. Well personally I would not read anything into them. As far as polls go, this one does not have enough options to get a feel for what 811 users really think. That is my personally opinion.
