YES!! This dish will work fine with Dish Network. I use it with the Dish VIP211Z receiver with no issues.

I could not get the anser dish 5000 to work at all with dish network. I upgraded to the 1518 carry out and it works well with one reciever. If you want to use 2 reciever you will need to call winegard, call right when they open or you will never get to speak with anyone. Thay

My answer is based upon Directv do not know about Dish at all. Not sure about the TVs but the unit can work with 2 receivers. I have a DVR that has 2 receivers in it and it works fine with that.

Any dish receiver will work as long as it does not require a broadband connection.If you cant get the receiver GM5000 to work. you maybe forgetting a step like I did. Start from scratch and follow the manual. What I don't like is having to spend an hour on the phone every time we move.

Yes, absolutely, but it will not stream in HD because the dish is NOT an HD dish. This means you can use your HD receiver with it and you will get all your programing but it will stream STANDARD. We use our home HD receiver with ours and get all our programing wherever we go after setting it up. It takes me about 15 minutes to do all the set up. Good Luck.

I don't think so. According to the description, the receiver says it is compatible with current Dish subscription.

I purchased the item to enable the use of my "on demand" feature from my Dish Network box: which has worked fine. Sorry I can't help.

Yes you need to subscribe to DISH. But you can do the monthly pay as you go plan. It is easy to turn it on and off as you need, no contract. If you are a traveler you just need to call them when you get to a new place. We love it!

No. You'll want to just connect via the USB cable (make sure you've activated the Dish driver with your computer.)

I don't have Dish so I can't say with 100% certainty. But I believe as long as you're not using one of the RF remotes or the RF function of the remote that IR signals are mostly all compatible.

That system is very limited, it didn't support my 911 emergency dial up, so I don't believe so. I have Dish HD so I signed up for their phone & internet service and it works fine.

I can only say it does not work with Dish Network, I have not tried it with any other provider. To me it was a complete waste of money, and I suggest spending a little more to get a better system. You get what you pay, and sometimes not even that.

Your Satellite Dish should be DISH Network and it should be an HD Satellite Dish. If these requirements are met along with a DISH network subscription then you should be able to use the 612 Dual Tuner with this system. If you have the Over the Air(OTA) module installed in your receiver then you should also be able to hook up an aerial antenna to your receiver as well to receive your local OTA channels. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I don't know about using with DISH. I have mine connected to cable (Comcast). It can only record one show at a time.

I have no experience with Dish Satellite Network. It is prohibited in the apartment where I live. I would presume it will work on most stations. The MDR516h is sensitive to copyright restrictions which applies only to some movies in broadcast media.

I don't recommend trying to mix Dish equipment with anything else. If it works, you got really lucky. They are even touchy about what splitters/combiners used with specific equipment. If you don't have solid advice from someone who understands satellite gear pretty well, don't bother. Equipment specific to Dish Network can be a mystery.

No.... You must either initiate a contract with Dish or pay an additional $7 per month to add to your already established dish account
