Dish VIP 211K Receiver Questions....
We are planning on getting Dish TV, Pay As You Go Service. The recommended receiver is the VIP211K. We plan to couple that with a hard disk and pay the $40 one time fee to Dish for DVR capabilities....

1) Yes, it's part of the Dish program guide, not the 211k
2) Yes, you can go back even if you're not recording the program. If you do it on a program you're recording, it will cancel the recording process
3) No, but you can watch a DVD or TV using your OTA.
4) Yes, there is a fast forward and a skip forward (usually used to skip through commercials during playback).
One important thing to note is the hard drive has to be externally powered (120VAC). It cannot be a USB powered drive.
