I am finally starting to get tired of the lockups and crashes from my 811 and since there are now a few mpeg4 HD channels I would actually like to watch I am thinking it is time to bite the bullet and upgrade to the 211vip.
A few questions/concerns I still have though:
- I use a series 2 Tivo with my current 811 and have heard that the screen saver the 211 uses will disrupt the recordings if the 211 is left unattended too long. Has a reliable work around been established to prevent this?
- My 811 is currently pointed at 110, 119 and 129 with a Dish1000. Will it need to be adjusted to be able to pull in the additional mpg4 channels ?
- Currently my 811 isn't connected to the telephone and there isn't even a phone jack within 60 feet of the entertainment center. Does the 211 require a permanent phone connection?
- What is the current quality of the Mpeg4 offerings (video/audio) and how reliable is the signal?
Any information you can give will help me considerably in my decsion making.
Thank you.
