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...

Hooked up the 522 late this week and just started to admire the functions. The UHF remote was DOA but a call to Dish had a new one here in two days . The 6.0 remote also out performs the 501s by a big margin . The 522 is in the basement theater and the family room is on the other side of the...

Diplexer Question They Cost About $18.00 A Set Home Depot Or Most Hardware Stores. Most Likely $30.00 At Rat Shack

Diplexer Question Hi I currently have one connected to one of my 510s . In my case I have one OTA cable and one Dish cable connected its like a reverse splitter two go in and one comes out then at your receiving end you split back to Two. Which makes for allot less cable run I am...

I Agree After trying to make CS person rationalize on how this promotion sucks . I brought one on Ebay $130.00 plus shipping the fact that I don't have to sit at home all day waiting for dish installer to plug in priceless !!

Dish Deal ? I Just got a call from Amanda from the "Executive office at Dish" She stated that it would no problem activating a purchased 522. But If I wanted to lease one it would be $149.00 $100.00 upgrade fee and a $ 49.00 installation fee . Now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside with the...

Mike you are right !! The 522 makes 2 of my headaches go away one being my Kids and myself sharing a single DVR and in the process I can relieve myself of the 811 maybe I am tight with a buck but to pay $15.00 a month for the lame HD Dish offers is truly a waste !! All I ever watch is OTA and...

WOW!! I came home tonight with the same message on my voice mail . If the responce level is the same as you have experianced . My next call will be to Direct TV !!! DOWN WITH DISH !!

Thanks Mike Thanks Mike I sent your attachment to CEO@echostar.com with my second love letter . Maybe I will even get a reply . If I don't there will be a 510 on ebay . Hello Direct TV.

Thanks for the replys I assumed this was false even through Dish as usual could not confirm. Also I will be returning a 811 as a result of aquiring the 522 . I am sure this will be another customer service adventure Thanks Again Scott

I have seen some attractive 522 pricing on ebay but some sellers had a warning that if purchased Dish may refuse to activate . So I called Dish and the rep confirmed that since I am a current subscriber that they would not activate . Also that since I have been such a good customer and not...
