DISH Network Retailer Chat Recap - "Hopper Special" - 2/16/2012

[Scherrman]

$31 looks to be correct. There are going to be some questions that need to be clarified after the chat.

 

[pabeader]

since a standard install includes 3 joeys the extra fee should start with the 4th one.

 

[LER]

I wonder if there are any "Long term" customer breaks on that $199?

 

[CK SatGuy]

It looks like each Joey is considered an additional outlet. For $7 a month.

Figure their had to be a catch. You would think the first joey would be included considering it's the first and without it there would be no multi-room DVR capability, but I guess Dish doesn't see it that way.

 

[LER]

And, in a 2 hopper setting, how many sling adapters (I.E. 1 or 2) to see ALL the content?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I sent in a question in to DISH what about people who have a 211 with a tailgater and want to upgrade to Hopper...

 

[whitewolf8214]

$31 per month

looks like it thanks darn dish gets you in fees ty sparc

It will be available to conumers on March 15th for consumer activation and will be included in todays normal promotions.

With AT200 or higher you can get Hopper and 3 Joeys for FREE.

So I may need to bump up my packaging temporarily for a bit ...

 

[Go Sox!!]

I read it as Whole-home DVR fee includes the first Joey otherwise you do not have a whole-home DVR and with the statement (for each additional Joey) insinuates the first Joey is included.

And, in a 2 hopper setting, how many sling adapters (I.E. 1 or 2) to see ALL the content?

That one I dont know. Later on I am going to start a new thread with new Hopper questions for DISH.

 

[rdinkel]

If you buy extra Joeys for guest rooms, can you turn them off when not needed and avoid monthly fees?

[pabeader]

that's a weird upgrade. go from mobile to stuck at home?

 

[sethwell]

Great news, since i have a 922 and a 722, my fees will only increase by $4! not bad at all. The $199 for a second hopper is not bad either, glad it won't be $499! can't wait till mid march!

 

[theoak]

If you have less then AT200 you can get Hopper and 3 Joeys for $99

$7 Each additional outlet.

Hmmm ... this works too!

 

[dwarren2]

Anything on the OTA module?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They are off Hopper now and talking about Broadband. They say the Excede Bundle from DISH is better, as you get a $5 a month Discount and also a 33% higher datacap.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Anything on the OTA module?

No mention.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Now on the Blake Van Emst with Retailer updates.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nothing interesting here for consumers from Blake. (But Blakes a good guy none the less)
