I'm really confused now.
Previously I had:
250 with locals
HD
dvr fee
dvr lease
payed by cc auto pay
total 86.97
I upgraded to the Dishdvr Advantage, and kept my 250, and HD. My bill now shows:
Leased receiver fee - 6.00
Dishdvr Advantage - 49.99
DishHD with 1 Premium - 30.00
New Total 85.99
I did not upgrade from 200 to 250. I am not receiving, nor did I indicate a Premium channel. When I just talked to a CSR she said the premium I am receiving is for the difference from 200 to 250.
When I signed up recently I was told it would be:
Lease receiver fee and difference from 200 to 250 - 10.00
Dishdvr Advantage basic - 49.99
DishHD - 20.00
New Total 79.99

" That is right it is always $10.00 more for an upgrade to the top 250 after adding either hd pack for $20.00"
So who's right? Do I have a valid case? The way it is I'm saving 1.02 if the 85.99 amount is correct. Again, I did not upgrade to anything. I just signed up for Dishdvr Advantage with what I had and I've always been cc auto pay.
If you add the lease fee, which is seperate from the dvr advantage pack , to the 79.99 you come up with 85.99 so it is right. Although I thought that if you had one receiver the lease fee was not charged. IF you have two receivers leased and one is an hd receiver and one was a hd dvr , then the 6.00 lease fee would make sense. It is like charging an additional receiver fee for a hd receiver , but instead it is a lease fee. How many receivers do you have and what kind are they?
If you didn't want a premium channel and if you didn't want to upgrade to the top 250 then you could of got the top 200 for 49.99 and the hd pack for just 20.00. Add the lease fee and the total would of been only 75.99. You need to call and go over your bill: LINE BY LINE and CHARGE BY CHARGE, till you get it all worked out the way you want it.
You will always start at 49.99 for the dvr advantage pack for the top 200 channels.
Then you can add hd pack for 20.00 more .
Or you can add one premium movie channel and an upgrade to the top 250 for 20.00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then all other premiums are 10.00 each added to the above 69.99 total ,
-Including the upgrade to the top 250 if you didn't already upgrade above
with a premium channel for 20.00.
