    Lease fee vs. additional receiver fee. What if you have one leased receiver?

    So if I understood this correctly the only fees that applies to a leased 942 are the PVR Fee and the 2nd Tuner Fee? That is assuming you don't have AEP or a land line. Correct?

    Viacom real increase: 6 CENTS PER SUBSCRIBER/MONTH for all VIACOM NETWORKS!!!

    They did the same thing when Disney was asking for a 2 cent increase on ESPN Classic. With the evidence at hand, I'll go with Viacom.

    I know that this has been discussed to death here but I haven't found an answer to my particular question. On the chat this week, they announced a promotion for the 811 where you could order the 811 for $199. I understood that you didn't need an installer, they would ship it to you directly. Is...
