I got rid of Voom and went back to DishNetwork, they came and installed my 811 yesterday. First off what happened to the SmartCard? In any case, I'm able to go widescreen without the bars on HD channels, and I managed to Stretch the SD channels, but the Program Guide has very anoying black bars on both sides. How the heck do I make it go widescreen?

You can't, if you're using the 811 itself for aspect ratio adjustment. Also, most HDTV's will not resize HD signals from their DVI or component inputs.
However, if you are using the s-video output of the 811 (which is unlikely), you can use the TV's aspect ratio adjustment to "zoom" the guide screen.

My HDTV does re-size via DVI, the problem is when I use the HD Stretch feature on my Mitsubishi the pictures hangs off the sides. I can stretch SD stuff and HD stuff is already widescreen, why wouldn the 811 treat the PG as SD content?

Beats me. From what I understand, the DirecTV HD receivers have widescreen guides. So, it can't be that hard to do, you would think.
I'm not sure if it's something that can be done in a software update but it would be nice... If you want a WS guide u can use 480p but it's really pointless
