Addition receiver for vac home best option?

[cnaimo]

Hi Guys,

i have a hopper in my home now. purchasing a vacation camp in the woods. What is the best least expensive option. BTW the camp already has a dish antenna so i would only need a receiver.

Can i purchase a receiver Ebay, Amazon, ETC.. and ask for a smart card?

thank you

When purchasing off EBAY get the R00# and call DISH with that information to be sure the receiver isn't leased or has an outstanding balance owed on it..
With a Hopper system you can only add a 211 receiver on the same account. If you want to start a separate account for the camp you can use any receiver.

Thank you does it matter if it is a 211k or 211z model receiver?

Nope, it can be a 211, 211K , or 211z.

But the LNB matters. How old is it? How many "eyes?"
