Replace 222k with 211k

I do not need a dual tuner receiver and figured I would just have dish send me a 211 and ship my 222k back. Well that requires a $95 trip charge and a new 2 year contract. Is that correct?

If so I would be better off purchasing a 211 off Ebay or Craigslist.

Just wondering if there are any other options?

Thanks,
John

Unless the 222s get the ability to convert to a DVR like the 211s (which I know will never happen), the 222s aren't really a whole lot useful except if you just want to watch good old regular TV on live only. In my opinion, if you have a 222 (or a 322) as a secondary receiver, it's best to swap it because I don't they're worth the extra $14/month.

Check with Zach FIRST! It was years ago now, but I was able to get two leased 612s shipped, rather than installed.

Agreed with one wrinkle. I would prefer two 211's over a single 222 any day, because then I could feed two HDTVs with different material AND convert the both of them to DVRs. Same monthly fee.

Good point. I didn't think about that.

I did the same thing last year when they started charging more for the dual turner receivers. Now I have 2 211's with DVR's and HD feeds to both t.v.'s. It is the same price monthly, so it was a no brainer. I did have a tech come out and make the swap, but it didn't cost me anything, other than a 2 year agreement.

It sounds like your situation was a little different, I'm simply swapping out 1 HD receiver for another. A simple plug and play change, no rewire or modification to the existing dishes.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

At least 64 dead in Spanish passenger train collision

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.
