Is the 922 free yet?

[Frank7004]

which is why im waiting.

Well, I may play the "retention" game if I don't have any luck tomorrow to get it less than $200. My 722k has been having slow guide problems, has been good 3 days now, but they don't have to know that lol.

I have been seriously considering U-VERSE, but the 922 can keep me with Dish.

 

[navychop]

Read up on U-Verse around here. You'll probably change your mind about considering them.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It will not be less then $200 tomorrow... but should be $200 across the board to all customers (instead of $400)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

BTW if your thinking of going to UVERSE I invite you to check out UverseUsers.com - Home for a look at UVERSE, it will help you make up your mind.

 

[sfollenius]

Thanks Scott, I will check that out, my mother in law just got it and they love, but then again they aren't a tech nerd like me! I have U-Verse Internet Only now, works great, I am not too interested in Sharing Bandwidth when my TV is, I think I would need a higher speed than 12M. Decision Decisions!

The retention argument won't help you out any.

And $200 for everyone...people won't pay $200 for a rcvr.

I'm happy as a clam with my 722k and sling adapter. Don't really need the 922.

I think you are sadly mistaken. Some people won't pay $200. I have no problem paying $200 for a receiver if it is a good upgrade.

How about MOST people won't pay $200?

 

[Frank7004]

Since the 922 has been released, our shop has only been through about 45 of them.

So....ok. Most people won't pay $200 for one. I myself will probably just bite the bullet and give in.

 

[sfollenius]

Why don't you think Retention won't do anything. If nothing else, they give me credits to make up for the $200 I would do it. I am out of contract etc, I would think they would work with me if I am "cancelling".

They have been known to say "ok, I can terminate your service right now." It happens. Not often, but it's a risk you take. They don't seem too interested in retention these days, they seem interested in cutting people they suspect they won't make money on.

I hate to think what I paid for my 721. I've blocked it from my memory.

Hmmmm- I think I paid a hundred for one of my ViP722s.

The 922, to dish is a "neat thing" not a necessity for service.

I paid $549.00 + tax/shipping for a 921. Talk about insane.......... Bought it right after they lowered the price from $999.00.

BTW, I still have it and it's the best door stop I've ever used!

Guess Jarheads are even dumber than Swabbies, lol.

 

[navychop]

Depends on the swabbie. I had a guy working for me who misspelled his own name on the 3rd class exam. Failed, of course.

 

[sfollenius]

So has anyone had any luck at getting the 922k for under the normal price?

 

[sfollenius]

I called today $200 plus $95 installation or $15 if I add the service plan to my account.

I was told it's $100 for 4 and 5 star customer. I'm a 5 star customer.

The csr I chatted with first told me it was $649...then it was $200 plus monthly lease...then it was "let me talk to a supervisor"....the he said $200 was the best he could do.

I dont see the $200 coat going down anytime soon. Maybe when a new rcvr comes out....
