While you can use an EHD on a 211 for DVR purposes it is not interchangeable with the 722 which is a real DVR.....

So i take it i can watch recorded shows from the external on the 211 which is all i want to do,pretty much put shows on the external from the 722 and watch it in another room on the 211 or am i taking it the wrong way?

The $39.99 EHD is for the whole account. Doesn't matter how many 211's, 612's, 622's or 722's you have.

Wrong, there are two different fees. $39.99 to activate the DVR feature on the 211 receiver and another $39.99 to activate the EHD feature on the 612/622/722 receiver. So if you want to activate the DVR feature on a 211 and the EHD feature of a 722 on the same account you're looking at paying a one time fee of $79.98.

NOPE U R Wrong!!! I just order the EHD for my 2 211k's, 1 622 and 1 722. I was only charged a one time fee of $39.99. I paid with my credit card over the phone and was charged $39.99 for all 4 receivers.

Interesting...and I hope your right. It goes against everything I've seen posted here, but that's awesome.

So, one would think...if you had it on your account...and you have a 922...once they enable EHD on that, it'll be ready to go! :)

Sweetness! Guess I'll need to budget $39.99 less for my Dish signup this month.....IF YOUR RIGHT! Are you always right?

I had the 622/722's setup for EHD's for 39.99. Went to add the 211 last week and the receiver came up not authorized.... Had to pay another 39.99 to activate it. They are separate charges... appollog must have got through the cracks..

Don't be surprised if the EHDs only work on one series or the other.
