I was wondering if you can use the wally with other vip211k's on same system? I have been told by Dish that this will not work. Wondering if anybody is using wally with Vip211k?

try calling
You need to contact someone in the tech department and ask them, a wally is a newer version of the 211's, sometimes reps give out wrong info.
Yes Exactly.
It will work with 211s from a Technical standpoint.
Both are Dish Pro Plus technology.
But Dish's Rules prevent mixing 211s with Wallys for what ever reason.
I've heard people just buying a Wally outright, and calling in not telling them its a Wally upon activation.
But I didn't want to try that myself, so I can't say with certainty that you wouldn't be buying a Wally Paper weight.
But its definitely not a technical issue.
Only an issue if you want a Wally on the same Dish as a Hopper3.
They'll work but from what I'm told Dish won't allow Wally's on an account with older model receivers for some unknown reason. You should check with DIRT.
Yeah - I was told the same thing. I have VIP211k's and since I have bought all my own equipment, I wanted to phase one out at a time for a Wally. But I was told I had to do them all at once - no mixing of VIP211k and Wally.
