    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    That's a good question. Initially, I asked if I gave them a UID from a used unit from eBay if they could tell me if it was free and clear to be added to my account (would be good info to have before the purchase, right?). The answer was somewhat wishy-washy... but essentially "no". Only one CSR...

    It sounds like you’re right. Maybe the only, not the main, reason. I wish you well in your future endeavors.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    No need to rant, rave, and holler, just hang up and call a different CSR. I've installed owned boxes in the past year or so with no problem. Right now the Hopper 3 is under $300 on Amazon. And ignore those negative reviews. For some reason they resurrected a bunch of negative reviews from 2017...

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    Are you saying that if you would purchase a hopper on ebay that had been deactivated from account and unencumbered, or perhaps a new or refurbished one from a dealer and self install, that they won't activate? I'm not asking what will they tell you prospectively just to deter you....but what...

    Thank you. I'm not just some old grouchy guy. I'm a guy with a legit complaint. Thank you for saying that. I'm kinda tired of playing the game. TV should be easier than having to pull all kinds of tricks to get the provider to do for some what they do for others. In a way, this thread is my...

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    If that option was available, someone needs to tell the CSRs. I offered to buy a Hopper and install it... they all said no. I don't know how many times I can say that before someone addresses that fact.

    ...as long as you let them do the install and start a 2-year.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    You make good points. In fact, I was looking forward to an internet connected receiver. That's why I offered to buy and install a Hopper. I love the Dish scapes and the Hopper is the only receiver that can get the gallery channel 305 that has all the old ones on it as well as the new ones. Like...

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    I would have phrased it differently, but yeah... you're essentially correct. The time for help was the multiple times when I was on the phone with Dish offering to buy and install a Hopper (which they all said no to).

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    Got rid of my 211K's a couple years ago and replaced them with Wallys when 211K EOL became apparent. I started monitoring Amazon and ended up buying Wallys earlier this year during one of those "secret sales" that pop up at the end of the month for some vendors when they need cash flow or have...

    They aren't even interested in that, if you want to install it yourself. I offered that... multiple Dish employees weren't interested. I even offered to buy (pay for) the receiver.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    I wouldn't call it "over the top"... and of course... it was a hypothetical... but a very possible hypothetical. If Dish was to get into a dispute with ESPN, that would pretty much render their service useless for my purposes. Basically, the only pay TV that I need... is whatever channel OSU is...
