    New Dish HD Customer with a couple questions

    So if I pay $499 for the 622 versus leasing it for $299 + $10 per month, my upfront cost difference is more than $200, because I also have to pay $xx for the dish/antenna, correct? So if I pay $50 for the 1000 antenna, then my upfront cost difference is $250 ($549 versus $299)?

    New Dish HD Customer with a couple questions

    Also, if I have to buy the dish, what is a reasonable price? Shipping? Then if I buy this equipment, will Dish give me some kind of credit if I sign up for installation of the free standard def equipment on their website and then tell them I don't need the standard def stuff.

    This is what J. Dolan and Rutledge SHOULD have done on Monday 2/28 ... leave the website up and running but remove the ability to order new service via the website.
