I had a couple questions and i am hoping someone can answer them. I have a 211 receiver that is in my bedroom and I want to upgrade so I can DVR in my room. I have 2 622's and Im guessing that Dish wont allow me to get another considering i had a hell of a time getting my second one. So my question is..

1. If i got the external HDD (when it will work for the 211) can i just record on it or will i be able to pause and rewind?

2. Should I try and get a 621 or whatever it is (the new one that is just a single tuner). and does anyone know how much it would cost.

Thanks for your help.
 
You can get a 622. I have 4 of them and recently added a 722. I lease one of the 622's and the new 722, and the rest I just bought. I think you can only do 1 of the DishN-itUp per year, but otherwise you should be ok to add more.
