When will the lease price on the 522 go down?

I been a dish customer since 2001, and it would cost $149 dollars to upgrade my 510 to a 522. Why is it still so much? Thanks for the advice.

if it's anything like what I've experienced with my 921, I'd say the prices on the 522's will go down just after I buy one.

It is just a matter of time before the price drops. Thats a hefty price to pay considering your only leasing them. Dish Network will have made up for the amount not paid by the consumer in just two or three years. Dish Network also figures that the customer would probably sell their used receivers to make up for most if not all the cost of the upgrade. That may be why its not cheaper or free, because customers would do it just to make money.
