I called up Dish to get a new HD receiver put into one of my rooms and asked how much it would cost. They said it would be $250 to purchase one so I then asked how about leasing? They told me I can't lease one because I have upgraded a receiver in the past year, WTF?? From what I read when I did DISH'N IT UP, it stated that I could only upgrade once a year, not that I would also be ineligble to lease a new receiver for another room. What the CSR told me just seems wrong. Is this true?
Leasing a new receiver, WTF Dish?

No you are wanting to upgrade within a year. Seams pretty clear to me.
All you can do is try calling again and see if you can get another CSR to do it.

Customers are only allowed one lease or upgrade (Dish N it up) per 12 months. You should have no problem getting it one year from when you leased the last receiver.
Dish never said an upgrade was just to upgrade the receiver. It's an upgrade to your system. They can't do everything for free or people would be changing things all the time, willy nilly.
How long do you think it takes Dish to recoup the $250.00 cost of the receiver plus paying someone to come out and hook it up for you, for that additional $6.00 a month?
I also think in the first line of the general terms and conditions it states: This agreement provides eligible residential Dish Network subscribers with the opportunity to upgrade, exchange and/or select additional equipment.
Not tring to bust your balls. Just showing it from the other side.
Try caling another CSR.
I just added a second 622 to my bed room, it cost me 149.00 to lease!!! I think it was 2 much but I can't complain the wife bought me a HD TV for the room. She says I watch 2 much sports...lol
$149 is a good price for that receiver. Last year CNET.com gave the 622 their 'Editor's Choice Award'. It is still the best on the market (not withstanding the tweaked 622 now called the 722). We Americans get too caught up on the notion that everything should be free (or close to it) and forget that companies actually do have costs!
