Free - funky ViP 211?

[bhelms]

I had to get a replacement for my 211. Dish sent me a 211K. Since the old receiver is larger it won't fit the 211K box for return so that prompted me to call TS. I was told that the 211 is obsolete and they don't want it back. That would also explain why the box did not have a 2-way label. I presume this is correct so does anyone here want my old receiver for any reason? Free of course and I'll even cover the shipping. (I still have the original box somewhere with proper padding.)

Chances are that this receiver is marked as leased and obsolete so we would not be able to activate it on any other account

Does DISH'S right hand know what it's left hand is doing? I just received a 211K Tues as a replacement for an owned 211K. It came from CO. with a return shipping label.

He's talking about a 211 not a 211K...

Correct...the K variant is not obsolete...and I realize my 211 can't be reactivated...maybe somebody wants it for parts or something beyond my comprehension...

Hey folks. My last ViP211K lasted more than 9 years, then went belly-up with the same problem as the one I was talking about above, runs for a few minutes then reboots, rinse & repeat. So I'm offering this latest one up for parts (or whatever) as well since Dish does not want these old models back anymore. If interested just PM me with your shipping information.

(BTW - A member claimed my last one, said he used it for a time before it totally crashed, for OTA only I believe.)

Nine-year thread revival. NICE

Yes, I'm interested. Is it still available?
