Thanks Chad and Dan for the quick response to my questions. I think I will do a little more research and try to come to a reasonable solution. I have the cable running out to my shop building but I was hoping wireless would enable me to move the TV around in the building whenever I wanted but I...

I have a DISH VIP622 and a 211 receiver at the present time. I am running 3 TV's (1 in family room w/622 and 1 in shop building about 85 feet away from house; and the 211 runs a TV in my "man cave".) I want HD ability on all 3 sets so if I upgrade to the Hopper; what do I need in the way of...

I am trying to rig a portable tripod-like setup for my Class A motorhome so I can just get Dish on 129. We usually only watch the shows on that bird in HD. My nephew has a surplus dish that I can use and I think it's marked "Dish 500". My motorhome has a Winegard crank-up dish on the roof and I...

Thanks KAB! That is what I thought was the correct way to go so I will shop for a WD model with AC power. I really don't need more than 750gb (in fact a 500 will do for my requirements). I only want to record a few shows or movies and then watch them and delete them. I really want the pause...

Hi Everyone, I am a newbie and I have done some searches to find out what brand/type of EHD I should buy to use the DVR function on my 211. I find conflicting answers in some of the threads so I thought I would ask outright! Should I only buy one that is AC powered or are certain USB powered...
