As others have noted, you can turn a 211 into a DVR -- kinda.
The 211 has 1 sat tuner & 1 OTA tuner. You could record a sat program while watching an OTA show (or vice versa), but you can't record a sat program and watch a different sat program.

If you have a Winegard Travler, then you can use any DISH receiver, like a 722 (2 tuners), Hopper (3 or 16 tuners).
