Dish monthly fee of $7 applies to activate. Dish has $40 one time fee to add your own AC powered hard drive (DVR function). I like the included Smart Card since we let unit sit unplugged for more than a week at times so therefore simply pull and re-insert instead of having to call Dish to hit the Smart Card to reactivate it like did on old VIP 612. Awesome NEW FOUND INFORMATION for the Winegard Carryout:run two (2) coax cables from Carryout to two (2) Dish units (vip 211z & vip 612) allows both to select their own channels to watch even though Carryout is a Single LNB antennae! Worked 2 days for me so assume will continue. VIP 211Z is FASTer. I am happy after one weekend in camper...

I purchased the VIP211z to use for camping/outdoors with a mobile Winegard GM-1518 automatic antenna and it worked great!
The receiver set up was easy and the documentation was thorough.
While I have not used this receiver much yet, I am very happy with it.
