Here's a link to a company that sells the VIP211k:
DISH Network MPEG4 HDTV Satellite Receiver/Tuner(DISH211K) from Solid Signal
You can pause the VIP211k without having a hard drive as long as you have the access from Dish.
The only way I've found to post pictures is to upload to a site like Photobucket. Once you have the picture uploaded, you can get a link to post in your thread.
Many of these forums are setup to host pictures which is more convenient.
I'll send you my email.'
