Frequently displays " Internal communication

Hi jesterr9 my name is Mike Houston of DISH Network Executive Office. When you receiver is showing internal communication and keeps resetting the can be a couple different things making this happen. It may not have the current software downloaded as well it may have a bad smartcard inside as well. The current software as of 1/12/11 for the VIP 211 is L5.61. To find the current software press the MENU button two times.

What is the difference between the dish network vip 211 and 211k? thank you

Hello, Nick Franta with DISH Network Customer Service here.

The main difference between the 211 and 211k in terms of everyday usage would not be noticeable. The variation in model number is mainly used just in the type of equipment needed in the set up for installation.

If you have any further questions just let us know!

Power will not stay on to VIP 211 receiver

Hi! This is Matt Gonzales with DISH Network. When a receiver will not stay powered on properly, and you have tried unplugging it and also plugging it into a different outlet, the reciever will need to be replaced. When a receiver is on properly the green light should stay steady

Vip 211 will not accept remote commands.

Hi orly227217 my name is Mike Houston of DISH Network customer service. And when the receiver is not accepting commands from the remote we need to re-program the remote to the receiver. What we do first is go to the VIP 211 and select the "system info" button and then we want to press the "menu" button. Then you will see the remote address in the white box at the bottom of the screen, then press and release sat button 1 time then press the record button 1 time. After that you will have seen the remote address change.

Vip211 will not power up, no green light or signal?

Hi johnmcmillan with thereceiver not powering up we can try a few things to get the power on. Firstthing you will want to do is make sure the receiver is plugged directly intothe wall. If the receiver is plugged into the wall and the green light is noton you can do a reset by unplugging the power cord from the receiver for 10seconds and plug it back in. I will leave a link to help with this. http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/receiver-no-power
