I think you misinterpreted. There is no actual fee for the first Hopper - or any first receiver for that matter with Dish. You do pay now a combined $10 fee which is the DVR fee and whole home fee. That fee will now be $14. Then every Hopper after the first will go from $7 each to $14 each. So with your four Hoppers (I didn't think dish allowed that on one account) your fees will increase $25. Total of these fees will be $70.
Thanks all for clearing this up, I understand now (I think).... My 1st Hopper remains "free"; my DVR Fee will go from $10 to $14; and my remaining 3 Hoppers will all go from $7 each to $14 each.... Thus, the additional $25 per month increase... The 2 Joeys remain at $7 each...
Tampa 8 you're right about the 4 Hoppers not available on accounts as a matter of course..... I had to go to the DISH Executive Resolutions Dept. in Denver to get the 4 Hoppers authorized.... I argued that I had dropped my 6 VIP Receivers, all with OTA Tuners, to later find out that the 4 Joeys I had attached to my original 2 Hoppers did not have their own OTA tuners, after I had purchased 6 OTA modules which DISH Tech Support had said would work on the Joeys.... They checked the notes on my acct., confirmed the history, and then added a special code to my acct. allowing the 4 Hoppers.... I did have to add another multi-switch and DPP-44 to my set-up to make it all work..... Took a while, not fun week, and took 3 different service techs to make it work...
