Bought it in January - it is the VIP211k
Thanks again! I'm buying a VIP211z, but I haven't been able to find a manual for it online. The 'z' is different than the 'k' in that it's smaller and lighter, and also has two USB ports. I don't know if the drive recommendations are any different though, and the two dealers I've spoken to so far, didn't know either. I could just wait for it to arrive I suppose, and then figure it out. :)
Yes, and the 211z has a really cool case.
But here's what the 211k has that has been removed from the 211z:
- RF video out
- Component Video outputs
- Optical output
- OTA tuner (which means you have to buy DISH's $30 digital USB tuner if you want to connect your batwing to the 221z) This is what the additional USB port if for.
Hmmmm, I knew about the OTA tuner, but I wasn't aware of the other deletions except the optical out that I don't need. I haven't placed my order yet, so I'll rethink my choice now. Detailed specs on the 'z' have been difficult to find. Thank you for the heads up!
