Note: If you are already a DISH subscriber at home, you will need to activate an additional Pay-As-You-Go account to receive Distant Network Services.

Step 1: Purchase your ViP211k Set-Top-Box, Activate Your Pay-as-you-go account (follow steps as outlined on this website)

Your separate account associated with your recreational or commercial vehicle will be set up under the DISH Network Pay-As-You-Go program.

Step 2: Complete Required Documentation

In order for DISH Network to provide you with Distant Network Service, you will need to submit the following documentation:

• Completed DISH RV Declaration (available for download to the right)
• Photocopy of the current registration for the recreational or commercial vehicle for which you are requesting Distant Network Service
• Photocopy of commercial driver's license (if you are requesting access for a commercial vehicle)
• Completed Equipment Service Requirements form

The declaration signed by you confirms that the satellite dish used to receive the Distant Network Service is permanently attached to your recreational or commercial vehicle. In addition, in order for you to enjoy Distant Network Service for your recreational or commercial vehicle, DISH Network requires that you establish a separate account.

Step 3: DISH Network Will Activate Your DISTANT NETWORKS (for an additional $5/month on your bill)

Once DISH Network has received and reviewed the documents, the Distant Network Service will be activated on your separate account assigned to your recreational or commercial vehicle. DISH Network will notify you of the service activation via the email address provided on your Recreational and Commercial Vehicle Declaration. Please allow 10 to 14 days for DISH Network to create and/or verify your recreational or commercial vehicle account and activate your Distant Network Service. If you are not receiving the expected programming after 14 days, please first ensure that your equipment is properly connected and your antenna is pointed to the correct satellite location.

If the Distant Network Service is still not viewable, please contact the DISH Network service center at 1-888-686-2388.
