Replace vip 211k with vip 222k or get another vip 211k?

[lichen]

I would like to add another TV. I have 2 choices:

1) Replace a vip 211k with a vip 222k, or
2) Get another vip 211k.

I know I have to pay $7 monthly if get another VIP 211k. Do I have to pay $7 extra monthly if I replace my single tuner vip 211k with a dual tuner vip 222k?

is the 211 the only receiver on the account?

me personally....get another 211k. Few reason
222 cannot be turned into a DVR like the 211k's can
222 2nd output is SD only
211k has a OTA tuner in it. The 222 requires a separate tuner (at a price)

If new tv is HD, you will want a 211 on it. Tv2 output on the 222 is sd.

No you don't have to pay more if its your only reciever.

Thanks for all your reply. I have one vip 722 dvr and two vip 211k. I am thinking of replace one of my vip 211k with a vip 222k. Do I need to pay extra monthly fee?

 

[Mr Tony]

yup

the 222 would be $14 more so if you turn off the 211 it would be $7 more than what you pay now

Any room after first 2 rooms ( if dual tuner box) will be 7 dollars a piece. ( until you start adding dvrs, that's more)

Thank you all. I will go for another 211k.

What about a Hopper/Joey set up. 1st Hopper is $10/mo. Each Joey is $7. If you add a 2nd Hopper instrsd og a Joey, it's only $7/mo. Gives you the ability to watch programing from each Hopper on any TV in HD. I'm going the 2H/3J when the ota module is released.

@ ICE: are you sure about the 222k having a built in OTA tuner? I thought both 222's needed the module.
