As far as I know, no. You'll only be charged if you want to connect an external USB drive. Dish charges a one-time fee of around $40 to activate that feature on your account.

Dish has an additional charge to use the DVR feature and if you get a dual tuner receiver they will charge to use each one even though they are in the same unit, but it will work fine if you only pay to use one

No, you will own the receiver. DirectTV will charge you $5/month for usage on top of your monthly bill

Yes it comes with Dish. It would not work with my Genie DVR. When I returned it I had to pay shipping and a restocking fee.

You need an external hard drive and then hook up with dish network to install, of course there's gonna be a small fee to complete the procedure. It's just a small pinch, and after all it might be worth the cost to accomplish your wishes, we all hate our wallets a little bit.

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

The simple answer is yes. You have to either be a DISH subscriber and add this receiver to your account (about $7 a month as I recall) or use the month to month subscription that some RVers use. You can stop and start as you like but will be charged for that particular month that you use it.

You have to register it with the satellite company to set up dvr. Also the dvr depends on which receiver you have,some can be paired with dvr, others use an external hard drive

My answer is based upon Directv do not know about Dish at all. Not sure about the TVs but the unit can work with 2 receivers. I have a DVR that has 2 receivers in it and it works fine with that.

I've got the same question as Jonathan -- does this DVRRecorder pick up cable channels? will it get the 500s-700s? If so, I'm ready to buy! :-DI don't get decent reception antenna only so I have to use cable, much as I hate shelling out to Comcast every month I'm stuck with them. ;-p I've been resisting TIVO b/c I don't want to pay an additional monthly subscription fee. Why would anyone pay monthly for Tivo if you can do the same thing for free with a DVDRecorder like this one?

No, you must purchase a new card from DTV. I think it's $20.00.Please be aware this DVR is for multi-family use only and gets the signal through ethernet, not coax. If you get your signal through coax, you cannot use this DVR.

Attach an external USB disc drive to the VIP211Z unit and pay Dish a one time $40 fee for the service. Fee cover all units you own.

Wirh TiVo you substitute their box for the Dish box and pay $15/month for the capability. You must decide if it is worth it (you still pay Dish full fare for their service.)

That was the whole reason we bought the unit because it DOES work with DirecTV. Most everyone we ever spoke directly with in the DISH network, never seemed to know what worked and what didn't. We gave up on DISH many years ago.

This question would be best answered by the vendor. My remote is the exact unit that came with the dish receiver and has a A B switch inside it but I left in the A position.This is a UHF remote and will control the DVR anywhere in the house. Only needs to have channel set to your receiver channel you program.

I bought it on Dec 5th and have not yet received the credit. I sent an email to customer service today and they responded saying I was eligible for the $100 Dish Network $100 promotion instead of hte Amazon one. I just responded to them correcting them. Hopefully we will get the credit soon.
