    Need help with VIP 211 replacement or upgrade

    Darn. I guess I can hook it to my home distribution out cable that was connected to the 622. I will not be needing those connections anymore.

    Need help with VIP 211 replacement or upgrade

    I have an installation set for Wednesday morning. My OTA is currently configured to piggy back on the SAT cable via a diplexer. Will this still work with the hopper setup?

    Need help with VIP 211 replacement or upgrade

    Thanks! I think I am going to go with a hopper 3 and a Joey. Do we still have DIRT members around that can help with this?

    True Detective on HBO

    622 Replacement Question

    622 Replacement Question

    Thanks for the response. I did not realize that Dish had phased out the 211k. Based on this information, I will assume that Dish will send me a 211z. Will the 211z function as a DVR with the addition of an EHD? Is there any way to add OTA to the 211z? Thanks for your help!!

    NFL RedZone Free Preview This Year?

    I chatted with a CSR and received multi sport free for 3 months and 1/2 off premiums for 6 month. Not bad!

    Grimm

    I watched the first the first episode and deleted my timer. Just another attempt at recreating the X-Files. A really bad attempt. I like Once Upon A Time much better.
