Hey Thanks for the advice!!! You are right Tim it was on Paypal. Maybe that will help. A lease agreement was never signed or was one ever mentioned . I just received my Dish invoice and the lease fee is now $6.00 which is not alot but if I want to upgrade "which I was considering" I...

Hi This was a self install. I also own 2# 501s that were purchased from Dish that I have had no issue with This was stated from the Dish CEOs office this 522 can be activated it is not on a lease and is not stolen unit is ok for activation. As they have stated to me on another a prior...

The 522 is the same same unit same serial # that Dish approved . Six months later it suddenly changes from a purchased unit to a lease unit ?? If I wanted a lease I would have spent a little less and leased one from Dish and PAY & PAY & PAY now if I want to upgrade its a win /win for Dish...

I did try that and had no responce. I have had this unit for about 18 months the thing that really Frosts my A$$ is that Dish gave me the high five to go ahead and purchase the unit based on the serial # givin to me prior to the sale . All was well for about 6 months then the lease charges...

Thanks for the replys The only proof I had was the CEOs office stating that the unit was clear"not leased or stolen". They stated that leases are not transferable which would mean they are totally contradicting themselves. Somthing tells me going that route I would need an attorney, so I...

Hi I currently own or at least I thought I did a 510 purchased at Dish and also a 522 purchased much later on Ebay . When I purchased the 522 I went through the whole CS bull you cant own BLA , BLA, BLA !!! I did as suggested on this forum and Emailed the CEO and stated the obvious this is...

Since I now have no faith that this will be a one time event I have been considering an up grade to possibly a 625 or like yourself a 721 . But the reviews on this site do not give me the warm fuzzies about the idea . Is the on demand feature alone worth the upgrade? again I apreciate the...

The protect statment was my stab at humor and not very funny. I got my father a 921 the first generation was on a waiting list for 6 months and paid a grand + installation and I still am hearing about it and beleve me none of it good. I tryed a stab with the Dish HD and then an LG that was a...

Mark You are correct sir . But you got to think if I had put protect on the ppv events. I would not be having this conversation . I am sure Dish CS would confirm this conclusion. Hey its good to know this is not the first time . And it will be my last.

Thanks THANKS For 3 yrs other then DISH slapping a lease fee on a unit I purchased on ebay and they approved the serial # This unit has worked flawlesly then drops 40 + hrs and returns to normal is kind of scary Maybe the 522 needs an Excorcist

Thanks Mike But now I have to go rent all the flicks I had to keep my kids busy this holiday. Reguards Scott

Recently my 522 DVR vaporized like 50 hrs of programming ?? Also all recording timers. I have since usrd the unit and it seems to function normally All recently deleted shows are in the deleted menu but none of the missing programming !! To make matters worse a good % of these were Payper...

Get use to it !! You have to deal with the "DEVIL" to own a Dish !! But like Caesar stated the 522 will find the same shows you DVR , it will also record new or reruns of same show but it will not make suggestions for that kind of "tivo" nonsense you have to pay a fee which to me really sucks...

According to the Dish CSR I spoke with the only lease fee was for the 811. But I have been misquoted from Dish so many times it makes my head spin . Most of the real info I have found on this site As "jtravel" pointed out I am paying for locals and hopfully the lease fee should not be on my...

Thanks Mike Like all the Dish Manuals It seems like no matter where you look it never explains what the units capabilities are . The technology has come quite far since the 501 . My father unfortunately for him has purchased a 921 , that unit seems to have a lot of issues enough to make him...
