[rodder]

which one to get for light dvring i can get a new ViP 222k for a $110 are a new Hopper for $175.

222 Is not a DVR it is a dual tuner basic HD receiver.

And it does not even have the option to convert to a dvr like the 211 has.

Thanks i guess i read it wrong.

You could go with a 722. Less than Hopper, in both cost and Dish fees.

Edit: Did some checking...722K's are pretty pricey which surprised me, if you are wanting to purchase.

They are still the workhorse of the line. No finer DVR in terms of rock solid reliability.

What about a vip 612 i only need it for 1 tv i see the 722k is for 2 tv's

 

[ChadT41]

If it's he only receiver on your account, I would recommend the 722. It has a larger hard drive and a couple more features. And you can still put it in solo mode and use 2 tuners for just 1 tv

Thanks all is the dvr fee on a 722 $7 are $10

 

[ChadT41]

$7

 

[rodder]

Just purchased a 722 locally for a $100 the guy is switching to cable i will get it friday.

I hope the guy owned the 722. If not, you have a brick....

Good deal. Just make sure before buying it from him that the receiver is "free and clear", meaning no outstanding balances on the account and the receiver is not leased (which would require it to be returned to Dish). If you can get the R-receiver number from the local guy, you can call in to Dish or message a DIRT member here to verify the receiver status.

What he said. MAKE SURE you check out the R number before you hand off any money.

 

[rodder]

Yes he owned it and it is clear

 

[garys]

Still, check it with Dish before buying.

Did you check the number? You would not be the first person to get ripped off.

rodder,

I am more than happy to help you with any DISH equipment questions you have today! If you’re buying a DISH receiver from a 3rd party, please ask them for the Receiver # (R00, R01 or R18).

Then PM me with the number and I can tell you if you should purchase it or not.

Thanks
