Difference of 211 and 411

[ride525]

I see posts talking about 411 and 211 receivers. What's the difference?

I see a 211 listed on DishNetwork site, but no 411.

Thanks for you help,

Jeff

211 is same receiver as 411 but with an eithernet

they made a stock of 411s before deciding to add the ethernet, at which time the discontined the 411 and started calling it the 211

Ethernet

What's the purpose of the ethernet connection?

What's the purpose of the ethernet connection?

Manual says for future use, but I'm hoping for a Slingbox type application, that would be awesome.
