Does anyone know or venture to guess at the answer to this question: If I have a 1 hopper, i joey setup and decide after the price hike to add a joey, would my fees go up to the new pricing? Conversely, if I had two joeys and dropped one, would that affect the grandfathered fees? Thanks, Fran

Can a DIRT team member contact me about upgrading from a 622 w/ehd and a 211 w/ehd dvr to a 1 HWS with the OTA module and 1 Joey setup?

Thanks for the replies. I didn't think I could keep the 211 recordings, but was hoping there might be a way to transfer them to another device or something. I doubt I would keep it on the account, especially with the fees going up, as it would defeat my purpose, which is to have all recordings...

Sorry, double post. Moderator please delete.

I currently have a 622 w/EHD and a 211 w/EHD as a dvr. I've been thinking about upgrading to a 1 Hopper/1 Joey system for a while and am just about ready to pull the trigger, despite the fact that this fee increase is just around the corner. But, I do have a few questions that I haven't been...

OK, here's one for you. I called, spoke to a csr who offered me $5 off a month for three months and told me I could watch the shows through Amazon or itunes. I told him $5 wasn't enough to cover the cost of the programs I'd be missing, plus I didn't want to watch them on my computer. He...

Maybe Wrigley will buy them.

Or it's D) the natural cost life-cycle of a consumer electronics product category. In the beginning manufacturing and development costs are high, prices are high. As demand pics up, manufacturing costs fall, as do prices, and margins remain fairly high as companies try to recoup some of their...

I lease a 622, I'd like to add a 211. With this deal, will I own the 211 or is it a lease? I 'm guessing that either way I'll be incurring an additional monthly charge of 5 or 6 bucks for either lease or additional receiver fee. Fran

None of the new channels are anything I watch with any regularity, so I put down for unimpressed. Overall, I'm actually happy with the additions, even if they aren't channels that I watch, because I think the more HD the better. Personally, though, I'd rather the bandwidth be given to presenting...
