I have a new VP211 that Dish TV says is not compatible with the new Hybrid system. Can anyone please tell me what dish (DishTV or DirectTV) I can use with the VIP211? Thanks

How do you tell if you have a hybrid LNB by looking at it? I have one in my hand that says DP plus digital LNBF on it that I am hoping to use with a 211z.
Ok - tell use which satellites your Hopper3 is seeing. From there, we can tell you what to get / install so your 211 can work.
If the Hopper3 is seeing 61.5 and 72 - You'll need an Eastern Arc 1000.2. (2 lnb)
If the Hopper3 is seeing 110, 119 and 129, you'll need a 1000.2 Western Arc Dish / LNB.
In both cases - you need to put up a 2nd dish for your 211 to work. Unless you're using the 211 for an RV, Dish may not let you activate it, so that would be nice to know as well.
For folks out there who may want to downgrade, lets say get away from $15 dvr fee with 211K and EHD from H3 there is no need to swap the hybrid LNB or hub out. The compatibility issue isn't with the hybrid equipment its with the H3. The 211K works just fine with the new Hybrid system as long as the H3 is out of the picture.

IIRC, you need a Dish Pro Plus lnb (3 head) and the DPH42 switch, two lines from the lnb to the switch then to the Hopper, third line from lnb to the 211.
211 is not compatible with the Hybrid lnb but the DPH42 converts the DPP to hybrid for the Hopper.
Oh ! How good to see just two phrase what covering all component for such config.
