Factory Remanufactured Dish Network VIP 222k

I had the old 335 model and DIsh said that they were out of stock on the HD VIP 222K units. This is the best unit to replace your old unit with....unless you want the DVR extra charge. Listing said it was NEW but subsequint listings while purchasing said it was a Referb unit. Tired of fighting with DISH to get them to send me a new unit so I purchased this one. Did not have to change the dish and LNB. Disconnected my old unit and connected this new referb and went thru the setup. Unit works great and looks new. Called Dish with the new card number and they swapped my current programming to the new unit. Very satisfied.

It met all my expectation, got on time, it was all sealed(2remouts, manual). The only one moment was confusing. For correct connection of 2 TV sets need duplex splitter. In the box was triplex splitter, which I didn't know how to connect. I was using my old one duple and everything start working fine, but it took some time to figure it out. That's the reason for 4 stars

The system worked fine, but had two shortcomings - both of which I should have known in advance (so I am not complaining, just noting). The Dual Tuner VIP222k is not upgradable with a USB hard drive, to allow recording. The Single tuner VIP211k is. Also the VIP222k needs an additional module (~$50) to pull in and record over the air ATSC signals. The VIP 211k is already equipped for it. I returned it and bought the VIP 211k. It would be nice to have the dual tuner, but not fatal!

I have bought this VIP222K to upgrade from the dish pro 500. and I hook up everything from the Dish HD (also new to upgradeing)everything was nice pack and new in the box. please keep in mind I have forgotten to oder the DPP44 switch. but I am watching the HD channels and 119 the 110 wont be pick up without the DPP44 switch.also this is a self installed kit. not a prof. I will recommand this. once I can get the money up i will p[lace the oder for this (DPP44).Dish has great tech and customer service. and very understanding. even as a pay as you go.

dish is far better than DTV, but these receiver has gone by bye. as dish is all DVR now, all the time. and for good reason. The hopper is a show stopper.

If you don't wish to Pay Out all the Service Fee's to Dish, Do as I have, and just buy a New Receiver here at Amazon. This will be my Second one that I have bought in about a Year, and I'm very Happy with both so far. And Dish has given me no trouble over this what so ever.

We have been using the Dish Network VIP 222K for approximately a month and it has been working very well. No complaints.

True HD quality. Hassle free setup. Another tip for Dish customer, you don't need to schedule a service appointment to replace your old SD receiver like 322 with this. I did it by myself and it was complete in less than 20 minutes. Just connect the cable wires, ethernet cable and power and follow instructions.
