VIP211Z and older kingdome satillite antenna
I just picked up a VIP211z receiver and have an old Kingdome antenna and was wondering if I could the 211z use it with it. The old Kingdome is the semi-automatic meaning that it screws around hunting...

I have a 211K & a King Dome 9702. They work together properly for both SD & HD.
I can't see how you can harm either unit. At worst, you'ld have the dome searching without finding a sat until you stop it manually, or you might only lock onto 1 sat.
BUT, you'll probably need to run a new Check Switch after locking onto any of the sats, in order to find the others on the Western Arc.
(BTW, that's what I like about the 9702: I can program it for either Western or Eastern Arc.)
