Are you saying that even though equipment is leased I could go down to HBO only / welcome package? Is there an additional monthly fee because it is leased?

OK, I am pretty convinced to not do an install myself. Perhaps I will consider a 2 year contract with the incentives. Can I do a 2 year contract and own my own equipment in the end or are you required to lease? After the 2 years I would like the option to go to an HBO only plan if I want to...

I would prefer to get a professional install if I can find one. The reason I want to own my own hardware and not have a contract is that I might want to go with an HBO only subscription. I have heard this is possible. I doubt I would qualify for any promotions with that and in the long run I...

Why would I need a contract if I own the hardware? This contradicts what I have been told before.

Who is insisting? I said it was something I was thinking about. As I said, want to own my own hardware and not have a contract and I didn't know if any installers would be willing to install such a setup. I am quite happy to hire one if there are. Plus, some of us enjoy the challenge of doing...

Thanks everyone. Just to be clear, for the 211K there is a $40 fee to activate DVR features using an external hard drive, right? But is there a $6.00 per month fee? I have no problem hiring someone to do the install, but I want to avoid any kind of contracts or renting. If I own my own...

Wow. That is great. Thanks for all the info. Can you please explain the $40 one time fee? Does that apply to the 722k or the 211k? Does it essentially turn into a vcr with a hard drive without a guide? Or do you get the guide?

Thanks for all the help. I have an opportunity to buy a used VIP 722k and have A few more questions: 1). Can I just buy a new smart card from dish and use this with the 722k? Or if it comes with a card can i activate it on a new account? Anything else I need to watch out for when buying a...

So what are the total fees for just HBO? Can you add or drop other premium channels easily? Is there a fee each time you do it? Thanks.

I am new to this forum. I have been trying to find out the answer to this question but so far have had no luck. If I buy and setup my own hardware, can I subscribe only to HBO? (or Showtime or Cinemax, etc). If so, what other monthly costs are there besides the monthly HBO charge? I...
