Why not to buy
By Dancer99
I purchased the VIP 211k receiver and find that Dish Network charges the same $7 per month 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 per month fee by owning. The receiver is fine – easy to setup (you need to call Dish Network to activate). Picture and sound are good.

Good Product but Does not save Money
By whistledow
I purchased 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 may 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.

An Improvement over ViP 211
By J. M. Ritter
This ViP 211k is very nice. It has a lot of 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 speedily without hesitation different from 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”
