do you have to have an account with dish to use this?

Yes I already have a home account so it was a ten dollar a month add on. However you can get service and shut it off when not using it
476275
Yes, however it's not a contract agreement. Basically you pay for it when you want to use it, by the month. It's $60 a month.

I am not sure I don't have Dish Tv. Plus I had returned since I didn't understand how to use it. My apologies.

Yes you can do that, also there is a feature if you are trying to connect to any tv providers there is a list you can also choose from like direct tv or dish etc

You need to purchase an external hard drive and plug it in to the 211z using the USB cable. Call Dish and they will activate it for you. They charge a one time fee of $40.

Yes you can if your tv or cable box has output jack. But I don't know about dish tv.

I did not open this one yet. But you can verify software is current by calling Dish tech support. and give the Roo number and Soo number to them. Some 211k do not need a smart card it is all based on the SOO number. I have one 211K that has a smart card and one that does not and both work on my account.

DVR is a service you pay for. I installed mine with DVR right away and they had to run two cables in from the dish so that DVR can run while you switch channels. I dont know the answer because I don know if your dish needs to be a certain type. You should call direct tv.dont expect to get more services than you pay for though, the box feeds back to them.

Yes, you still have to pay the $7 per month. If you take the free box from Dish, you have to sign a minimum 2-year contract plus return the box to Dish when you terminate service.

This is part of the DISH Network home TV system. You need a dish, and a hopper actually.

After talking to Dish Network this is my understanding. The first receiver charge is included in your package and you do not receive any credit for owning the receiver. Any savings will come from opting out of the maintenance program. I also found out that Dish has my 722K listed as a lease unit and I am having to provide proof of purchase that I own it. I believe that Dish is not being fair to customers that buy their equipment since the first receiver charge is hidden as part of the cost of your particular package and they represent it as being free.

Yes,DVR service you have to pay dish -network for it even thou you do the installatation yourself.

You have to suffer scribe to the DISH network. You could call it blacklisted but like a cell phone you have a contract. Hope that helps

No, mine setup only uses dish. I believe you can buy a model just for direct TV.

Once your Sling Adapter is connected both to your DISH dvr unit and the internet you need to download the DISH Anywhere app on your mobile device. When you open the app you will need to enter your DISH account information.

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 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.
