I have a Dish 811 tuner for HD and it has an OTA input that converts 8VSB signaling. I have a local analog cable service that has four (4) HD channels in the 85 - 88 range. I cannot get the Dish 811 tuner to go above 70 in the digital scan. Any one have the 811 and have gotten this to work??

John,

You will NOT be able to get the cable HD channels on your DISH (or any other satellite) receiver. Cable uses QAM and the tuner in your 811 receives ATSC. The only way you can receive you local OTA HD channels is by connecting an antenna to your 811. -- Bill R .

My TimeWarner cable box which provides the 'latest' 1080p HDMI HDTV service on the "digital" channels also tunes and down-converts standard analog broadcasts for the lower 68 channels I receive. ... My point really was / is that analog transmission from the cable company front end to the consumer RF input jack still exists, at least in some cable systems, even when a new vintage STB is employed. ... I've spent a lot of time with my cable system and a spectrum analyzer, having been in RF engineering for most of my career, and fooling with cable descramblers, and there is no doubt in my mind that TimeWarner continues to carry classical analog signaling in the lower 500 MHz or so of their system and has piggy-backed their digital onto the higher bandwidth expansions above 500 MHz as they build-out their network and add capacity. ...
