cheapest way to do this?

[rvanya]

I am 8 weeks out of our new house being completed. I currently have a 622 and a 211. But in the new house, I will need at least 2 more receivers, both with hd capability. I don't really care about dvr capability in those.

What is the cheapest way to accomplish this? If I buy them from someplace like ebay, is that legit? Would I have to get them activated? Sorry if some of these are dumb questions but this is the first time I've had to deal with any of this.

If seller is legit and have no balance owed on them, receivers would be fine. Of course you would have to have them activated. Once they are wired into your system, all you have to do is make a phone call.

You can only have 4 tuners on your account. You already have 3, so you cannot add 2 more.

Buy a couple more 211s for $245 each from Dishstore.net?

Not sure how many tuners you have on lease. You may be able to lease one and buy one. I think you can lease up to 4 tuners. (your 622 will count as 2 tuners).

You could look on eBay, but that's such a buyer beware kinda thing, that for this item I'm not sure I'd do it. I'd have to have a really good feeling about the person I'm buying from.

just my 2 cents.

Not right

You can have a maximum of 4 LEASED Tuners on your account. You can have up to 12 tuners on your account but you have to buy all above 4. A Maximum of 6 boxes.. But all 6 could be duals for a total of 12 tuners
