DVR Receivers Using DishCOMM

[drjdan]

Which DVR receivers can used DishCOMM to create the required connections to Dish to avoid the $5 monthly charge?

Supposedly all ViP receivers.

Is the 625 a VIP?

 

[volkodav]

no

Do we know if the 211/411 receivers have HomePlug? I'm guessing that they do, but without a HardDrive there really isn't much of a reason. I guess that the External HD might make it worth while if its ever supported.

So far just the 622/722. It's supposed to come to the 211 and 222 early next year per the Tech Forum show.

If the 211 / 411 has homeplug, it isn't available via menu or active. I'm not really sure what I'd gain by having it, other than not needing to have my 211 plugged into the phone so I can get caller ID. On a scale of 1 - 100, it rates about a 2 on usefullnes. I do have the phone line running along the baseboard and every once in a while look at it and say it would be nice to not have the line there. Perhaps if they were to add streaming video from a 622, that would make it very useful.

We sell the XE102s and so the homeplug feature is quite useful. Would like to see the 211 and 222 have it.
