I am interested in the firewire.. I have an 811 from dish and i was led to believe this is not an option on mine why is this?? Sorry for long dumb question.. I am a newbie just coming over from D*.. THX for any help..

The 811 does NOT record anything. Its just a TUNER

No Firewire

No Interactive News, or Games.

If you call 5 or 6 favorite city weather info screens interactive, then yes, it has interactive weather.

2 day program listing is more like 2 hour.

Output: Also has DVI-D connector

Input: Has 2 RCA Inputs for DVD or VCR.

Other than that, Sears has no clue what they are selling.

Thank you For the reply.. I knew it was not a recorder like the 921 but with the firewire or (Dishwire) i should be able to buy an D-VHS and record that way.. I figured sear has miss information just wanted to confirm this..
