Great deal!

 

Purchasing my own receiver was a great decision. I replaced the 311 with the VIP211 and increased functions while saving money on monthly rental.

As advertised.

 

I've had issues with Dishes customer service, but this receiver is top notch. No problems at all. Would recommend highly.

DISH VIP sucks

 

This satellite receiver developed what appeared to be a software problem after 10 months, at least according to DISH. I am not sure there was anything wrong with the existing VIP211K Receiver. DISH said they would replace the receiver, but would charge...

Great buy.
