upgrade to a wally

[adam90]

I had a vip211k duo die the other day and of course dish wants to push the hopper my question is can you just plug and play the wally just removing the duos triplexer, my dish is the triple lnb with 3 outputs to a dpp44 my game plan is to upgrade my 3 other 221 singles

Yes, Wally would plug directly into an output of the dpp44.

adam90 You have to buy it. For some reason, Dish has stopped doing Wallys for residential accounts

thanks, you wouldn't happen to know if dish will activate new receivers while i have 2013 211s active or would i have to call the rv side

They will. Let them know it's for an RV, Cabin, etc

i ordered one the other day since it's for a main tv i figured I'd take a chance. I guess they only want to do dvr systems, proudly more $$ in their pockets

I don't see that being an issue, they treat the Wally as a 211. I got my first Wally in 2020 and they let me activate it with other ViP receivers on the account.

The Wally can be a dvr, for a one time $40 fee. Even if you're not into recording stuff for viewing later, it's nice to be able to pause it while you go fetch a snack or visit the john. The one time fee applies to all the Wallys or VIP 211K's on your account. All you need do is add an external hard drive.
