As said, the 211z does not have a coax RF output connection. You could pick up a simple modulator at Walmart though, that uses the component outputs to generate the coax connection your TV's need. And yes, your 211z will work with your home dish, but you'll need to run a "Check Switch" from the setup menu when changing between the two.
Do you know the exact name of the connector. I will need for the 211Z? Since I will have to order a second receiver, if I order the 211K, will there be an issue with the other receiver being a 211Z? TIA
The modulators use standard RCA style cables (1 composite video, 2 sound) to connect to the 211Z. The modulator output is a standard coax 'F' connector. The modulators are typically selectable to output on either VHF channel 3 or 4. Mixing a 211Z and 211K on the same account causes no technical problems. Note that Dish will only allow one 211 on the same account if you have a Hopper for your residential service for instance.
