VIP 211K Question

[WB0JFC]

I'm confused about the descriptions for the 211K on some web sites, The descriptions indicate that to receive OTA channels an adapter is needed. Pictures of the back of a 211K appears that the OTA tuner is built in. Does the 211K require an OTA adapter or not? If an adapter is required is it the same as the 722K? If it is built in, does the 211K have one or two OTA tuners?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

It's built in.

One OTA tuner, same as my 722

The 211z requires an OTA dongle and supports one OTA tuner....

In the DISH VIP lineup there are 3 211 models. The original 211 is silver. The second model of the 211 was designated 211K and was the same feature wise as the 211. The third most recent model was the 211Z this is also black but is stripped of the CH 3/4 RF output and at extra cost requires the same OTA dongle as the Hopper, just a cheaper model with fewer features.

I think the 211K is the best one. From what I've been told.

If you don't need the OTA tuner or the modulator, the Z is supposedly a more powerful and more economical box.

More powerful? In what way?

More powerful? In what way?

Someone was rumoring that it had more RAM and a more powerful processor set. I have not been able to confirm or deny these rumors.

Then why are you posting the rumor as fact that you can't back up?

In his defense, he did say "supposedly", indicating it was something he heard but was unsure about.

The 211z sure is ugly. I'll give it that anyway!
