    UHF Remote Kit for 211K

    I was looking for the same thing 3 weeks ago when i dropped a HD Duo DVR and used my 2nd receiver a 211K to output to a total of 3 rooms. The two rooms share a UHF kit remote. I called Dish when I pulled the 3rd receiver off my account and the person remembered sending them to people but was...

    HD Free For Life (reg $10)

    Is this something I should be proud that I have, or does everyone have it by now and used to make me feel good? :) Their website now says HD Free for 24 months (assuming when you sign a 2 year agreement), do these people then have to pay $10 starting month 25? I wonder if SD will ever really...

    Are 722's obsolete?

    The box came today to return one of my 622's in (downsizing my tuner count), according to this paper marked 8/31/12 that came inside (must be no changes since then), 622 and 722 are not labeled "obsolete" - that's official enough isn't it for the main question on this thread?

    Are 722's obsolete?

    How does a 211 with hard drive compare to a 622? Can you do scheduled reoccurring recordings like "all new episodes of Bones on Fox", can you go to dishanywhere.com and tell your 211 to record a movie from the website, and see your existing recordings listed on the website? If you can, then I...

    Current Dish being installed?

    I'm in Waukesha and get all the Milwaukee channels in HD, for 3 years now on a single dish DPP 1k.4 that points to the south, using 622 and 211 receivers.

    I really appreciate the suggestions and information folks. Here's what I've done with it. last weekend I ordered another diplexer, the DPD2 on eBay for $2 free shipping. It arrived today and I then tested my basements 211k using it where the 622 upstairs is, it worked and fed both TV's one...

    Should I make any changes?

    Ive got an idea... how about call in the broken HDD vip622 and pay shipping to get a 311 or 211 and uhf remote addon from dish for it? Even saw 211s on eBay for $30 and should be safe if check the units # with dish for a balance before buying right? Should save 10 or so a month. I don't need...

    Should I make any changes?

    $3 savings isn't enough, just wanted to make sure I wasn't paying a $7 or more premium with that dvr that's not a dvr anymore. Because a couple years added up would add up to enough worth swapping out now.

    Should I make any changes?

    The USB drive is on the 622 that isn't broken, in the living room. I never paid for the 211 upgrade fee for dvr, using the free archiving only on 622. All my TVs are HD but the only ones that need to be with dish are already with the two receivers that don't need any changes. So basically I'm...

    Should I make any changes?

    To introduce myself, I've been following this forum for quite some time never posted a question and finally registered :) I've been with dish since quite a while back, when we had it as a part of an AT&T bundle. Its been a number of years since that went on its own, and we've gone through one...
