Questions about Dish Network

[OswegoScott]

After viewing the Charlie chat, I have decided to go with Dish Network. It did not help that Directv could not get their act together last week when they made me call back 24 times to try and order service, only to find out installation could not be completed until late January. Was not too thrilled with Dish until the chat tonight.

Anyways, what is the difference between the 211 & 411? Is there a MPEG4 DVR that will be out soon?


Thanks,
Scott

the ViP211 has an ethernet port, the 411 does not.

Their plan for a MPEG4 DVR will probably be made public in the January Chat

Brian, I think is the other way around. The 211 has the Ethernet port:

Easy way to get a better install faster. Do NOT call Dish directly.
