Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

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.

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.

Great buy.
This is great for RV use. It doesn't take up as much room as the fancier receivers. Ours was easy to set up and works perfectly.

Great reciever
I have 2 of these and they work great. The best part is you can hook up a hard drive to work as a dvr. I bought a gigabite drive for around $100. Read more
