I know these issues have been addressed somewhat in another thread, but here goes anyway. After a long time with constant problems with my 811, I decided to upgrade to the 211.
I'm a little apprehensive about this upgrade since I've read about a lot of 211 issues in this forum. Particularly about the HDMI failure. Since my Hitachi HDTV uses DVI, I had to go out and purchase a DVI to HDMI cable today in prep for today's install. Does the HDMI problem so frequently talked about here still exist today?
Also, the Dish exec. I talked with told me they couldn't just send me the 211, an installer would have to bring it out. I'm going to try & avoid having them install a Dish 1000 & instead stay with my current set-up, (2) dishes: (1) for 110/119 & (1) for 61.5. I've been told that will work here where I live in S.E. Texas and that I wouldn't need to acess the 129 SAT. This would allow me to simply remove my 811 & replace with the 211 (quick & painless). Any feedback will be appreciated on either of these issues..
