For the first receiver DirecTV would have an "advance receiver fee" of $15(analog to Dish's DVR fee) + a $6 TV fee(Dish only charges for 2nd and later TVs). $21 in equipment fees out of the gate for Directv vs $12 (Hopper DVR fee) for Dish.

It's the $6 (soon to be $6.50) TV fee Dish does not have an equivalent of for the first TV.
Nicely summed up. And for some including myself an additional $3 RSN fee.
 
Choice is $67.99 a month. $21 in fees for a one room Genie, and I'm about $89. I pay $77 for Top 200 and a 722k.
 
Yes, equipment is a choice. I want to choose the least amount as possible to spend on equipment. With Dish, I can choose to spend $0 on equipment. What is the cheapest I can spend on equipment with Direct?

What is the most common thing a new customer signs up for? For Dish I'm guessing the Top 200 with three TVs, either a 722k and 211z or a Hopper with two Joeys. If everyone wants the comparison to be somewhat accurate you're going to have to use the most common setup. DVR has to be involved in at least 80% of all activations if not 90% so you have to include DVR equipment in the comparisons along with HD.

You realize Extra is comparable to Top 200, not Choice? Each with an advertised approx 200 channels, Choice with 150. Your savings would be more with the correct comparison.

I'm looking at what I'd need to get for NBCSN and TCM. Not apples to apples, but Yespage at Dish to Yespage at Directv.

But yes, the difference is a little higher than I remembered. Regardless if pom poms are involved or not. Now only if Directv would stop getting the Super Rugby rights. I miss that from the Setanta days.

Virtually every person I know has two rooms, living room and Bedroom. Some have no receiver in the kitchen it is mirrored no matter the carrier, but I trust your knowledge on this, three rooms.
 
One room.
Top 250 79.99
DVR fee $10
Total $90

Ultimate $81.99
Fees DVR $15
Fees First Receiver $6
RSN fee (for me and many) $3
Total $103.00 or $106.00

Savings will increase some after both raise their rates. You can pick any two comparable packages as DISH is generally $2 to $3 dollars less no matter the package. Sling can be used without additional monthly charge. VIP 612 has built in OTA receiver.

If you're getting one 612 receiver or a 722k the DVR fee is still only $7. That $10 fee is only if the 612 is the secondary receiver. If you get one Hopper then the DVR fee is $12.

LOL That's fair.

For my customers the most common install was a 722k and 211 or just a 722k. Side 2 of the 722k would get mirrored to any TVs beyond two or three.

Very correct. Add $3 to the savings. ($16 to $18 less with DISH)
 
We did go overboard... :) It was somewhat relevant addressing if these disputes accomplish any savings. But enough is enough. Thanks.
It's why I let it go for three pages. :)
It is still irrelevant to the entire point of the black-out, really. As I mentioned in a previous post. Even if Dish were the most expensive service on the planet I would support them, or any other carrier that stood up to this "negotiation" tactic.
 
Not sure...did you enter your email address on that site?

Yes. And, I got an email announcing the $50 credit a few days later. But, I received a "customer appreciation" (or some term like that) package in the mail with the PPV certs before receiving the email acknowledgment and credit. It felt like just a general stroke job for out-of-contract subs to keep 'em happy, maybe as a preemptive massage during the FNC dispute.

I also got the snail mail PPVs a few days before the email and $50....
