Simply connecting a hard drive to the 211 will not give you a DVR. There will be no recording ability until activated by Dish and that costs a one time $40 fee and applies to all receivers on the account.
You cannot view recorded programming from any receiver on any other receiver be it Hopper or 211. You can't even move a HD from one 211 to another.
Well that stinks. If I have a hopper in my house on our monthly does that mean we have paid the $40 since you said it apples to all receivers or is it a separate $40 from just having a hopper.
