RoyB, the VIP211 receiver is used with the Dish "Pay As You Go Plan".

I think you can do the Pay As You Go Plan with any receiver you own. One big advantage of this is there are no cancellation fees if you drop the service. So if you're upset about loosing the Fox channels you just don't pay the monthly bill and the service goes away.

And if I remember correctly, when I dropped the service one month there was no charge for restarting it later. I just reactivated it from their Web Page by making a monthly payment.

Of course the big disadvantage is that you loose out on any discount Dish may offer for signing a long term contract.
