Edited: Our list is growing, instead of shrinking. Where were you guys when we made the original list. Any other fixes?
We need to update this list of 811 problems. Which ones have been corrected?
1) Failure of the * Recall button working when viewing a remapped OTA DTV signal
2) Questionable implementation of TosLink
Corrected 3) Dark picture most noted on S-Video and Composite, but also seen on DVI and Component
4) Very low quality when viewing OTA analog; Jittery and tearing picture; See 10) below.
Corrected 5) Slow acquisition of program guide info just a few hours out; non-existent two day guide.
Corrected 6) Slow acquisition of Picture in Guide feature
7) Blinking closed captions on the s-video and RCA video outputs ( some channels). Closed captioning not working via the component and DVI outputs for CBSHD and NBCHD.
8) The number of channels in your favorites is still limited vs. unlimited which is documented as a feature
9) Stations that 6000+8VSB pulled in without a problem won't lock on the 811.
10) The quality of analog/NTSC OTA stations looks like it's a streamed internet show, looks almost like it's only 15FPS vs. 30FPS.
11) When the 8VSB section has a problem tuning in a ATSC OTA station it just removes the station from the list of stations and you have to go back and re-add it.
12) OTA channel mapping problem on some channels. I have channel 57 mapped to channel 4. It works fine when I add the channel with "Add DTV" button. But when I try to view it, it loses the mapping. It worked before on the 6000 and earlier software versions of the 811.
13) The guide gets shuffled showing the wrong programming.
14) Occasional software reset when changing channels.
15) First time used each day the satellite signal has been lost and a check switch is required to get things working again.
16) Sound loss, when going from SD to HD, changing channels will get the sound back most of the time.
17) Paid for channels, sometimes go to red, clicking on them, makes them come back.
18) The upconversion of the back panel video leaves much to be desired. Same problem seen as with analog OTA.
19) When using a VCR TIMER the tuner does not work, you only get a blank screen. (But the BANNER does get recorded!)
20) Audio sync corrected by resetting
21) Open TV not active yet
Corrected 22) 811 freezes up, perhaps related to guide surfing.
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 occurs: with ver. 263, receive "acquiring satellite" message; with ver. 264, it runs 5 checks for each satellite location your connected to.
#25) please hook phone nag message new since the upgrade comes on when your watching anything. very annoying.
26) OTA channels in the EPG, which will enable easier VCR timer setting.
#27, 4:3 aspect ratio control still not working when viewing a digital station through S-video or composite.
