My (silver) VIP 211 is dying. After tech chats with Dish, they info'd me that I'd need it replaced. -- When I got the original 211, I also added an external usb hard drive and activated the DVR function with the one-time fee $40. -- It hasn't 'died' completely, before chatting with the tech...

I'm sure that this has been asked already, but my searches haven't turned up what I need. A local store is closing and I got a RCA RCRN04GR remote for $10. It was easy to set the code for my Dish VIP 211. However, there doesn't seem to be 'equivalent' buttons on this remote for 'DVR' or 'page'...

My VIP211 with EHD is acting strange lately. At times there are 1 to 2 minute delays before a command from the remote control is acted on. (new batteries in the remote - a 20.0 IR) Sometimes the receiver will lock up, do a shutdown and then a reload for no good reason. I will see a message...

My kids like to record certain cartoons, and on a couple of them I think that there are 50-60+ shows recorded. Their mother set the dvr to record every instance, so I don't doubt that some of the shows are 'repeats', 'dupes', etc. Is there a way to more easily sort the 'dupes' so that I can...

I've looked in some of the postings, and never found an answer for the following: In my vip211 manual, it says that Dolby digital is available by using the optical output. It doesn't mention whether the HDMI output contains the Dolby digital signal or not. The sound system that I presently...

I've been a subscriber of Dish Network since 1998. I've lived with all the price & fee increases. I got screwed (like most others) when Dish lost the distant networks. All American Direct tried to screw me for their distant networks, and because of that I've refused to pay for NBCCBSABCFOX...

Hello, I've read that you can add your own USB hard drive to a model 211k or 222k receiver, and pay a $40 activation fee, and that turns that receiver into a DVR. Questions: 1. Is the DVR functionality like the 'dedicated' dvr's? For instance, the Dish DVR's don't have to be turned off in...

I presently own the following models of receivers: Primary: 508D Secondary: 3000 I presently have two dish 300's (18" dishes) with an SW42 switch. I subscribe to the classic silver 200, superstations. I also have been paying the Dish home protection since my Dishplayer recently gave up...

Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates? My parents have directv, and got these DMA locals on this week. Here I am on Dish, but no locals yet. What happened with DISH? Early on, it seemed that they'd get this DMA first, but I guess John Malone outfoxed Charlie Ergen...again. Seriously...

Hello, My parents have dtv, and they asked me to help them find out what equipment that they will need to receive the local channels once they are active. (They don't have a computer) I don't know the model of receivers that they have, but I know that they are very basic receivers and only...
