211 Smart Card

[hometheaterman]

Well I recieved my 211 a great thanks to Sat. Guys and to Dishstore.net. Well here is my question if you open the front panel door it has a slot that looks like for a smart card. Well it doesn't have anything in it nor did it come with a smart card. Do I need to buy one or does it have one built in? If you go the the system info it has a smart card # so is there one built in or do I need to call Dish and pay the $20 to get one to use it?

no card in slot thats for future usde.
your card is soldered directly on the 211 motherboard
dont buy one
its built in

Thanks. I still have a week until my projector arrives but I can't wait. It should be a nice setup when it all gets here.

The slot is there so Dish can send you a card in the future if they need to upgrade their security system.

I don't think the word is "if" the word is "when".

We already know they need to upgrade it.
