Replacing Dish 211 Receiver

We have a Dish 211 receiver, which you can only get programing on one TV at a time. What I am wanting to do is get a different receiver from a friend so I can watch a different program on another TV a the same time. If I remove the card from the 211 and install it in the other receiver will it work?
Thanks for any and all comments

    We switch our Hopper and 211k between the coach and our cottage from time to time, and the Hopper has never given us any problems when it's installed in the coach. The 211k has an external hard drive that also travels well with no problems so far.


    I have an external HD on my 211K and only wanted to run it when recording/playing and not on all the time. I finally discovered in the DVR selection there is a choice to remove drive. hopefully using that will make it quicker/easier to remove and replace?
