Does anyone know if the 811 will have limited favorite channel lists? I have a 4900 and there is no limit on the favorite lists. (I like making a list with all channels minus dish propaganda and PPV and music channels). Then, I receive a 6000 and I was disappointed about the channel list restriction.

Besides the 811, does any other receiver have restrictions? (i.e. the DishPro receivers?) If I am foreced to dump my 4900 Legacy receiver, I want to make sure I can get one with no restrictions.

Also, Do any of the DishPro receivers have UHF remote capability (besides the DishPlayer receivers?)

Thanks. Bill

Considering that the 811 menus look they use the same OpenTV software that the 4900 uses. I'd expect them to behave similarly. So I'd bet that the 811 won't have the same limitation that the 6000 does.

But remember, that nobody has their hands on one, so we can't verify.

This limititation is likely for the old receivers. Any 4 digital receiver besides the 4900 likely has this limitation. Except maybe the Dishplayers.

I have searched but found no fix for this. I tried to make a new list last night but it would not let me insert ANY channels in one of my unused list. What's the trick??
