after buying a hopper 3 with a 4k joey. i am wondering what the install will include i would imagine it would include the dish and the hybrid LNB but would it include the node for the 4k joey or would the node be extra??? and would dish install on a dock providing the dish is going on a sled and there NOT drilling holes destroying the joint???

not if i'm giving them 199 bucks i am not gonna gave a contract!!! now if it was free then i could see a contract. but since there not subsidizing anything why should i have a contract??? i bought the hopper and the 4k joey outright iand i strait out asked the rep if i owned them and she said that i do.
Wait a minute, you signed up with Dish, they are coming to install, you are paying $199 and don't know if you have a 2 year contract? If you just paid $199, I would expect that you do have a contract. You should definitely make sure.

I would be happy to review your account. Please send a PM with your phone number and PIN.
wait a minute here i told dish that i wanted the flex pay program and that i bought the hopper 3 and 4k joey and i own it outright so there's no subsidizing of the equipment. i asked them how much an install would be and the guy told me 199 out of my pocket so dish is not subsidizing that either eveything's coming out of my pocket!!
under the flex pay the activation would be the installation and the activation of the receiver and the 200 don't include the one month of service as you milage may vary depending on what programming you want..
yep the H3 through dish is 350.00 that's why i bought it elsewhere!!! though i paid 150.00 for the 4k joyey
i got my H3 for 229.99 vs dish 350.00
Seems to me that, if you credit qualify, signing up under the DHA 24 Price Guarantee promo would make more sense than the route you are taking. Factoring in the upfront costs you're paying and the lack of monthly discounts on the Flex promo, I'd bet that any Early Termination Fee you might pay under the DHA24 promo would be well less than what you are planning to spend.
The Hopper 3 was $229 and $150 for the Joey.
It's in post 11
But my question is can just any receiver become a Flex pay receiver?

I've not seen an ad for a Hopper under flex pay.
Only Vips.
So I was just curious.

Clearly the OP is paying MORE for the principal of not having a contract, which I would agree with except it does work out to being LESS money out with the current credit qualifying: The OP's route is MORE expensive. Now, add to that if he is stuck with Dish H3 and whatever boxes. It's going to cost him at least a little money to sell the Dish boxes even at ebay or just have to take a little less than he paid if on Craig's. If people can find it cheaper on line or on ebay, people aren't going to pay the OP so that he is whole. It will be a net LOSS as opposed to the credit qualifying proms EVEN IF HE PAY ETF!!! (as the OP loves triple exclamation marks !!!).
Since the only reason cited by the OP was not wanting to have a contract (presuming he has qualifying credit), then this is a prefect example of a personal desire (no contract) costing him MORE money that otherwise the case. That makes no sense!!! Yeah, if someone has a Dish ready residence or get the equipment for free or a super cheap price, and then they pay a local retailer for the install, then YEAH, going Flex or month to month with no contract can make sense. The whole point of the credit qualifying 12 or 24 month price lock (and the OP get NO PRICE lock on Flex?) is that it is LESS expensive than people paying for all the parts and labor themselves. Yes, you are on contract, but in this case taking into account all his costs that he cited, even if he pays the ETF, his is out LESS money than the way he wants to do it just to avoid a contract.
This is probably why something like 80+% of new small or personal businesses fail in the US each year. No business sense, or more accurately bad business decisions such as pursuing the MORE expensive, COSTLY path for some odd personal view when taking the contract, better business route is bottom line CHEAPER!!! The same people who buy the "special" of 2 loaves of bread for $3 even though they they saw the same loaves of bread priced yesterday at only $1 per loaf. Economists recognize this psychology and it is costly to the consumer but great profits for the seller using "value pricing."
