Questions about purchasing a receiver

[vikingstwins]

According to E*, I need to puchase a receiver since I have 4 leased tuners. I would like a dual tuner model and E* says it needs to be the Vip series due to the dish equipment I have. Suggestions about where to purchase a used receiver at a reasonable price?

I would like a dual tuner model and E* says it needs to be the Vip series due to the dish equipment I have. Suggestions about where to purchase a used receiver at a reasonable price?

First figure out which model receivers you want. You must have an Eastern Arc dish. OK, only the VIP series and the 411 would work, but the 411 is a single-tuner. So this leaves the 222, 222k, 612, 622, 722, and 722k at the present time. Do you want to feed 2 TV's independently? Then the 612 won't do. Do you want a DVR? Then the 222 and 222k won't do (at the present time).

Suggest ebay for best price. I bought a 625 and a 722 off ebay and I got a great deal and I've been very happy.
