- DishHD Only for $29.99 with OTA Digitial..... 1866 Main Street
- Dish Family for $19.99 with PI Channels..... 1866 1/2 Main Street

Just get AT100 plus locals plus HD essentials for less money or HD Ultimate for just $5 more than the above.

So, that brings us back to the lease fee for the receiver. Since forking over $199 for the privilege of leasing my 622 over 18 months ago I have been paying the lease fee.

It's all tied to the receiver.
If you obtained your receiver prior to February 1, 2007, then your receiver has lease fees that are specified in the agreement at that time.

However, if you contact the ceo email address, you should be able to get the first leased receiver's lease fee dropped as a "courtesy"... (not likely by phone, btw).

And replace it with an additional receiver fee

I'd love to get this plan as I only watch HD content. But I also get Center Ice. Man this sucks!

Living in the PacNW I was wondering if any/which of these channels are coming from 129? As attractive as this bundle sounds, if I'm going to need a SETI-project sized dish in my yard to get the signal, I'll pass.

129 mirrors 61.5, right? If so, the vast majority of these channels should be available. I'm in a situation where I only have LOS to 61.5. Life was OK on the older HD plans at $20/month. But the recent jump to near $50 (with required programming) really sucked. This plan makes me much happier.

So can someone please help me figure out what it will cost me to go to this package with locals and with two leased 622's. I am sick of the price-creep that my bill seems to be doing (well over a hundred bucks a month now for AEP with locals) over the past few years and I am thinking that now may be the time for the whole family to bite the bullet and switch down to something more reasonable.

As I understand it I will have to pay $6.98 for each DVR. Is that it?

Id be sold on this at $35 if they would just add SciFi and FxHD.

If I get this package. I wonder if I receive all locals in my area. Not just the big 4 networks. Even if they are sd. I put my address for locals in my area on the Dish web page and I would get 8. That is counting the big 4 which are hd. The other 4 are in sd.
