Can this be used as home receiver as well? I don't want to purchase one for home and one for camping a couple of times a year.

Sure you can use it as a home receiver. And when you're ready to go camping you can take it with you. No need to purchase 2 separete receivers and dishes. Just make sure you secure the dish wherever you set it up at so the wind doesn't knock it over or it comr up missing.

Need to ask Dish. It seems like it could as long as you can get reception. They did tell me that if I didnt have home dish, the cost is higher with only tailgator than home dish cost.

Yes, it would work. We are using the pay as you go option so we only pay for the service when we need it. Works great though.
2081088
I see no reason why not as long as you have a clear view of the Southern sky.
2081089
Yes. I am like you. I camped all summer am now home, have tailgater on patio with cable running through a window, have my VIP 211 connected to my tailgater and tv works fine, Only thing this received can only run one TV

You can definitely use the receiver. The dish is not really setup for long term use. It only weighs a pound or so and would not be very stable in high winds. Also it would be real easy to steal.

You can use it anywhere as long as the tailgater has a clear view of the sky and you have a very long coaxial cable!!!

Of course, use at home then take with you. Just need to make call and change location when camping. Have used mine all over.

This receiver can work with just five channels but be warned, it turns itself off regularly if you drive more than a few channels hard. It is not a workhorse. All the technology in this receiver is amazing, their amplifier circuitry is substandard under any significant load. I would stay away.

It has several stereo inputs using RCA jacks so you should be able to use it as an amp for an FM receiver if it has RCA output jacks.

I'm no professional, but if your receiver has USB or AC/Adapter ability, I would say yes.

Probably not, unless you've added a 5Ghz radio to it. Also not sure this is what you're looking for, it's not a general use or 'home' access point. The antenna is very directional, and would be good to connect with an existing, far away 5Ghz network. Not so good to put in your house. Try looking at Ubiquiti Unifi or Picostation for home use.

I've had excellent service from this receiver. Its used in my motorhome so not used on a daily basis. If its still under warranty, certainly send it to Sony for warranty repair. If not under warranty my experience is that repairs are more expensive than buying a new product.

I don't see why not but you will need to move it back to the main room or unplug it when watching TV in the room with the receiver.

You could, but there are no RCA inputs which is usually the most common connection on a home receiver. Other than having a connection type adapter you should be able to use it. Make sure and turn off the backlit logo as it might be a little bright in a theater room.

It's not built in as in same unit ... but the receiver is needed for both and is tied only to the units in that package so it won't work on other ones

if you want this in a motorhome you could add a receiver as an additional room in your rv with your current dish service. just can't get local programming. i know others that have done that. not sure you can start and stop like with the 211k

Not if you use the same radio. If you buy a separate one, it's an additional subscription. You can get a home adapter unless your radio is a built in.

Yes. You can purchase extra receivers for this unit. Please contact us for details on how.

Yes you can. I am currently using one for my receiver, cable box and blue ray. Works great

As long as the receiver has a low level output. If it is amplified i wouldn't recommend it.

This will work, but I would suggest upgrading your receiver if it's mid-grade or less. This device works fine, but is always pretty warm so I know it's burning a fair amount of electricity even not being used.

You can but you will need an inline turntable amplifier. Otherwise it will be too quiet, the input for it is not amplified in the receiver.

The receiver is not waterproof. It technically can be used outdoors, in the same way you can go outside with a cordless telephone, but it is not designed for any type of permanent outdoor installation.
