DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

It might have to do with the mandatory $15 Whole-House DVR Fee tacked on to your monthly bill for having the Hopper on your account. But the Wally wouldn't have that and would be the supported replacement for the ViP 211.

Our vacation family home has a pair of ViP 211k receivers which have long had the DVR fee paid. At some point we will need to replace them, probably with Wallys. And pay the one-time Wally DVR fee.

Your 211 DVR fee will transfer over to the new Wally.

Really? That's even better news. Sadly, not the Events on the EHD from what I've read…

$15 "whole-house DVR" added fee on hoppers? When they aren't even whole house, like they should have designed?

I am thinking it's the mandatory 15.00 fee tacked on to the bill for having a hopper!!!! yes a wally would be supported i belive the fee to activate an HDD is a one time 40.00. i wonder how much longer dish will support the 211's

How should have dish designed to hopper 3 .. our hopper 3 is in the media room and we have joeys all over the house receiving programming... there is nothing on t.v. worth needing more than 16 tuners half of it's crap and commericals . theres no way in hell i will live with an HDMI splitter watching chick flicks that's just not happening . i think that 5.00 per joey is very reasonable for my peace of mind
