Just got off the phone with them. Said I can't use my current Hopper in an RV. (Leased) Also said I need to buy the VIP211Z to travel.
Asked if I could buy the Hopper, he said they don't recommend using the Hopper due to vibrations while traveling. (which we have already done that and the Hopper is in my RV that Dish installed, since we live in it)
So, in the end, only VIP211Z, and I didn't even get to the cost of Paygo.
Any suggestions?
If you want to use a Hopper in your RV, have DISH install one in your house. Then move it to your RV when you travel.

Was wanting to do the pay go. We don't need Dish every month. And probably won't need it till fall. But, according to the CS rep, we can't do that without buying the VIP211Z. $79 Plus to use it as a DVR, there is the need for a USB 2.0 hard drive, $99 and set up fee of $40.
That is what the CS told us we need to do PayGo.

I actually would not mind buying the hardware myself. I'm more concerned about getting it installed properly. Our Cyclone has 4 TV's. The LR main TV has nowhere to place the larger Hopper unit, so I'm guessing putting that in the bedroom and a Joey @ the LR TV is not a big problem?

Has anyone managed to get a Hopper installed with PAYG service in their RV? I'm about to make the call to DISH, but need to know if I'm wasting my time trying for this.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
