    BLACK IS Beautiful! World's ONLY BLACK VIP211

    When I did mine on Saturday, 5 recent sales averaged $392.00. (I did my homework, so I knew that) I then put that $392.00 number in the ad, with a B.I.N. of $375.00, and offered to send bidders the URL's of the 5 previous recent sales.

    BLACK IS Beautiful! World's ONLY BLACK VIP211

    Nope. I own it. Bought last week at DishDepot for $379.00 Sold my 6000 on FleaBay to some dude in Canada for $375.00 in 1 hour on Saturday. Total cost for the 211? $4.00 (okay not counting FleaBay and PayPal fees, those robbers) Having the world's only BLACK VIP211 - Priceless! I...

    BLACK IS Beautiful! World's ONLY BLACK VIP211

    Okay, here's how I made my new VIP211 BLACK color to match the rest of my stuff. After removing the 211 metal cover, I removed the plastic faceplate. There are 2 plexiglas insert panels glued with double-stick tape to the front of the faceplate. One panel covers the proposed new smart-card...

    Are the 211's shipping with Component Cables?

    Aw Shoot!!! I was so excited to receive my 211 I mistook stinkin' COMPOSITE cables for Component!!! :mad: I have always used HD-15 RGB on my Dish 6000 setup. Does anyone know if the stinkin' COMPOSITE cable will work in the Component jacks until I buy some good Component cables???

    Are the 211's shipping with Component Cables?

    And the verdict is.... I just received new sealed 211 from Dishdepot. 8' component cables were in a sealed bag with the phone and RG59. So...I dunno. If folks aren't getting them, mayhaps the installers are pocketing them before delivery.

    Are the 211's shipping with Component Cables?

    I've heard from some that no cables are included, and others that say they were. What cables, if any, were in your 211 shipment? Thanks, Bob Sliwa

    Upgrading to 211 - Metal Confusion

    Thanks Weezknight - If that is correct, then I stand corrected and the knuckleheads DO have pricing on the web site. It shows Silver for $59.99 so that and HBO should be like $74.00 as I dont want/need locals.

    Upgrading to 211 - Metal Confusion

    Thanks for the reply. Exactly. The knuckleheads have no pricing on the website. BTW I am purchasing the 211 outright, if that makes any difference.

    Upgrading to 211 - Metal Confusion

    Okay, I just read a ship-load of posts but my head is still spinnin'. I am upgrading my old 6000 to a 211. I currently have the 120 package with HBO and the yearly sub to the MPEG-2 HD package. I don't know what exactly that package is called as it is not on my monthly bill. It is billed...

    BLACK Color 211 or 622???

    I don't think it's being anal at all. Black has always been sexier. When I bought my first Nikon camera about 25 years ago, I made sure I bought the black professional F2 Photomic. Not the silver one that looked like a cheap Kodak. I spent a ship-load of money on black components in my...

    BLACK Color 211 or 622???

    Thanks but nothing in my theater has any thing in common with the ghetto now, so that wouldn't match either. I was hoping the 211 would have the same form factor as the 6000, but from the pics, it doesn't. If it did, I would just put the 6000 front panel on the 211. I kinda leaning towards...

    BLACK Color 211 or 622???

    Every single piece of equipment in my Middle Atlantic rack is BLACK color, including my Dish 6000. I really want to upgrade to a 211 or 622, but I absolutely hate the silver color. Has anybody anodized or otherwise converted a silver receiver to black??? Thanks, Bob sliwa
