Before calling DISH would ask if anyone has knowledge of this. We want to switch out DirecTV at our home base to DISH in order, for one, to get the $7 charge per receiver when traveling...makes no ...

Dish shouldn't have any problem adding another receiver to your existing account if you're buying it. If you want to go on contract to get the free equipment and setup, that may take a little time to get straightened out. I suspect you'll have to cancel your existing account, and then add the 211's back on after the new account is active.
We have a Dish "Flex" pay-as-you-go account with a 211k, a Hopper w/Sling, and a Joey on it. I installed a 1000.4 eastern arc dish at our upstate NY cottage that we use when we're there instead of setting up our portable 1000.4 EA/WA dish. When we leave, we sometimes leave the Hopper hooked up at the cottage to record the programs we'll miss while underway. We can then either watch them when we return or stream them with Sling. We also change our service locations as we move around to get the area locals, and the receiver that's left behind at the cottage loses them as expected. Since we get all the networks OTA there though, that's not an issue for recording network programming.
