Good Product but Does not save Money Mar 20, 2010
By whistledow I bought this thinking it would save the $7 per month rental fee on DISH Network. Unfortunately, you still end up paying a $7 per month access fee. Why buy when you can get it for free from DISH? Crazy. I am planning to send it back and get one for free from DISH Network. Product does what it claims.

Why not to buy Mar 16, 2010
By Dancer99

I bought the VIP 211k receiver and find that Dish Network charges the same $7 monthly fee whether you own or rent the receiver from them. So, in fact, it costs way more to own a receiver. Seems strange since I had hoped to save the monthly fee by owning. The receiver is fine - easy to setup (you need to call Dish Network to activate). Picture and sound are good.

Great HD Receiver Feb 02, 2010
By Robert S. Dimm I didn't buy this unit from Amazon, I tried but it couldn't be shipped to me in Hawaii. The unit is a very simple, single tuner. HD output is excellent. My biggest surprise was when I hooked it up to my Sony HDTV using the HDMI connection and heard the sound quality. Comparing the sound to my old SD Dish Network 311 reciever would be like comparing a mono earbud to a 7.1 system, the difference was amazing.
It is possible to add an external hard drive to this unit and turn it into a single tuner DVR. I haven't done this yet but it's nice to know the option is available.

An Improvement over ViP 211 Sep 19, 2008
By J. M. Ritter
"rogajeffski"
This ViP 211k is very nice. It has some improvemnts to basic features such as the remote sensor on it is very wide and it lights up saying HDTV but that's not all the main improvment is how it locks in on HDTV signals quickly without hesitation unlike the old ViP 211. Not to mention that it's more compact and might have more memory in it. Basically it's a very nice reciever from Dish Network. "The Leader in Satellite and HDTV" :)
