do I have to sign up anywhere to use this or can I use it free (I have a dish/multiple LMB)

Nope! You have to install it and it's ready to go. No sign up no registration no nothing.

This is only free to air box, you can only see free programming. no account is required, just aim the dish to the satellite, scan the channels, and watch TV.

You can register it on an account it is a refurbished unit since they are not made anymore but it can be activated and it will require a 2 year lease from DirecTV

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

I use it for "over the air broadcast" network TV for which there is no charge or subscription.

Not at this time, At present it seems 'Dish Anywhere' Does not offer ANY apps for the 'RT' Platform. At least none are offered at the 'windows app store', and since that is the only place from wich you can purchase or download an RT app ,,'That' as they say is 'That'. But I have found the app store is adding apps all of the time. so this may change. I hope this info helps.

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.

I think you just need to buy the home kit to hook it up..and no, you don't need another subscription if you are going to use the same starmate receiver for both the car/home..only if you decide to buy another starmate..

Yes you do need to pay a subscription. However, with some bands they offer 3 month free trials.

I have Dish and it works with it. I shouldn't conjecture about Direct. It also works with Over the Air for me.

No, you cannot. To use this, you first need cable/Fios/Uverse service. You also need to "rent" a cablecard from your cable provider. You then need to purchase this unit. Then you need to either purchase a lifetime (for this specific unit - not your life) service contract or you will pay monthly service fees (either of those are to Tivo). You will only avoid paying monthly DVR rental/lease fees to your cable provider.

Only for fee based satellite reception. Dish TV however, will let you activate or deactivate whenever you want so you only pay when you are using it. As a side note, you can get local stations when you are on the road by calling in with the zip code of where you are at the time. Only when activated tho. Hope this answers your questions. Lee

A Dish Supervisor explained that the charges are structured to receivers. The first is free and subsequent receivers carry a monthly charge. The charge is considered as an access charge and not equipment rental. In other words, there is no apparent advantage to purchasing my own vip-722k. I made this purchase based on something that I apparently misunderstood when talking with a Dish representative 2 years ago.

No subscription is needed. This device is largely for people like myself who get their signal over the air. 21 channels and no monthly fee. We look up the TV schedule on line.

Yes I have same situation. You can take box to camper it will go thru locating signal and program guide. I had to use a cheap signal meter to set dish up at camper. Also a little tip cover the 2 outside lnb's with foil while finding SATs. Google pointing this dish. Lot's of info..

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.

You need to have dish network service. This Joey needs a Hopper from Dish to work

What you would want to do is look at the actual dish. If there are 3 LNB's on the dish then you will be golden. All you will have to do if run your coax to the open LNB port. You will have your own service plan with your dish and will have access to whatever you are subscribed to.
