Can anyone tell me what broadband adapter would allow me to connect my Dish 211Z receiver to the internet? I understand the correct one would plug into the USB port. I got confused when looking at connectors specific to some receivers, others naming Windows 7, 8, 10 etc. Last resort I will...

Thanks for the information and suggestions. Yesterday I moved another TV into the room and connected everything to the 211Z. It now works flawlessly, so it has to be the nearly 10 year old Panasonic TV. It is really strange, turns off on its own, turns off with the touch of most buttons on...

All of a sudden my 211Z is not responding to the remote properly. I took the remote to another receiver and it works perfectly so I think that eliminates the remote as the problem. Almost any button shuts the receiver off. I tried to reprogram the remote, sat, system info, sat, record, no go...

Hey Foxbat, thanks for taking the time to post all the information for me. Read through all of it including links. Mysteriously Friday A.M. receiver functioned normally without the forced restart. Will have to see over the next few days, but seemed to correct itself. Wonder if something in...

I know the 211Z is not an admired receiver here but purchased mine in 09-14, paid the one time $40.00 fee and added my own 2TB external hard drive and has worked flawlessly until a week or two ago. I discovered that upon trying to turn on receiver there is a black screen with HDMI 1 displaying...

I must first admit to being somewhat obsessive compulsive about signal strength. I am on western arc satellite #110, 119, 129. Within the last two to three days signal strength on # 110 has increased nearly 10 points from a running average of 67-68 to an average of 77. Signal strength on 119...

That is logical and makes sense. I had done a lot of searching, reading and this seems to be a rare problem. So while there may be little interest in a topic affecting few will offer what I found. I swapped out the WD hard drive for a Seagate and the problem seems to be solved. Something...

I did your suggested procedure last night, receiver detected EHD, checked for compatibility, then acquired signal, downloaded program guide worked well last night, this AM back to checking hard drive. I am wondering if the software updated and has a bug???

Have a purchased 211Z put into service 09-14 with the DVR option and a Western Digital 2TB external hard drive with its own power supply, new in 09-15, so less than one year old. Combination has worked flawlessly until about a week ago. Now each day when turning system on get a message...

Anyone recently had luck renewing this offer?. Had read in other threads some people had this for going on two years. As of today I am offered in a drop down list after expiration date continue at $15.00 a month, or do not continue. Scott

If I opt for a wing dish aimed at 129 will a Dish 500 with dual Lnb receive HD? Scott

Wednesday in Denver Metro we received 23 inches of a heavy, wet, spring storm. I have a 1000.2 Western Arc Dish pole mounted. I have better than average 110 and 119 signal strength, but pretty low 129 readings, most in the low to mid 20's. I have tried at least 3 times with the receiver and...

1000.2 Dish, Western Arc with 222K receiver receiving 110, 119, and 129. Sunday evening in Denver, CO was checking signal strength ahead of anticipated snow storm Monday. Strength on 110 and 119 were normal and average. However on 129 transponders 16-32 were pegged at full green bar and...

I have tried to attach file minimum and average thresholds. It is available somewhere on this website. Maybe someone can provide a link if attached file does not work. Scott

Glad you solved your problem more simply. Scott

I had this problem last September when trying to install a 211Z for a defective 211K on a Dish 500. I could not get the receiver to lock both 119 and 110. I was missing the exact same channels. I ran numerous check switch tests and 110 would be green, 119 would be red with a slash. Tech...
