    No, the ViP222k has been deactivated by Dish on this account. He could sell it if he wants,I guess. Unknown at this time. Thanks for the answer!!! Do you know of a link to get a installation guide to the DPP44 switch? Any help with it would be appreciated.

    Newbe question

    Thanks, that is good to know that the dish does not need replacement or the LNB!!! Whew. Please see above: As the dish is a 1K.2, should we see only testing 1 of 2 on the test screen? And you are saying that after the switch test the receiver will report the satellites that the dish sees and...

    Newbe question

    I know that he did take the single cable loose from the triplexer connection labeled INPUT. When he had connected the single cable to the 211z receiver he did not have any display of guide data. The system info one screen on the 221Z shows no switches connected. Do you want to see the VIP211z...

    How many receivers?

    Care to expand on your very eloquoent comment. So how can you have VIP211K's or VIP211Z's in the exclusive hopper system?

    How many receivers?

    Crodrules, Man I get what you say about the 722K. I was asking about keeping my currently installed 722K and adding 211K or 211Z receivers only. So the fee per month per unit is $ 7.00. Is that ok??

    How many receivers?

    Boba, What upgrade??? I am talking about my buying receivers OUTSIDE of dish, ie, ebay or amazon. How is that a upgrade performed by dish??? The only connection to dish is that I must contact them to add the receivers to my account. This will increase my bill by $ 7.00 per added purchased...

    How many receivers?

    Right, I agree that the 722K is a fabulous machine. I am looking at the expense of expanding the home system for the least initial expense and lowest fees possible. That is why I was asking about a purchased 211K with a EHD for recording the local programs for her to watch and for my son-in-law...

    So what does the HWSs do? Would it fit in our future situation? I asked about the Hopper 3 as I have seen it mentioned many times in the threads. What would having two Hopper 3s get me? How bad are the fees and can you still connect a purchased receiver to the system using a switch from the LNB...
