I read the FAQs, but I think I'm getting screwed. When I upgraded to my leased 622, over a year ago, I simply subscribed to top 200 + locals + dishHD.
I have recently changed my package to DVR Advantage. They are still charging me a lease fee of $6. The 622 is the only receiver I have, and have had for over a year.
I have called twice and even escalated to a supervisor. They are telling me that only "new" accounts get the $6 lease fee waived on DVR Advantage.
According to everything I've read, I shouldn't be getting charged the lease fee. It should be $49.99 for DVR Advantage, and $20 for HD.
Am I wrong? Help.

Stan-
I believe you are correct and I was in error when I said the lease fee was included with the DVR Advantage plan. However, what I was told (we all know how THAT goes
) was that there was a lease charge for the 2nd receiver and that the 1st one was included in the monthly programming amount, which in my case is the DVR Advantage 200. I'm sure I also read that on Dish's site somewhere but I'm too lazy to try and find it again, LOL. I'm leasing a 722 AND a 622:
Dish DVR Advantage.........49.99
Dish Network DVR Service Fee....5.98
Add'l Receiver Access Fee.....5.00
Dish HD with 4 Premium Package....60.00
Total............$120.97
God knows, as screwed up as Dish is MAYBE I'm actually getting a deal by mistake
Ed Almost forgot to mention that my DVR Advantage does include my locals.

One thing I've noticed is that Dish's pricing is just screwy & hard to figure out. You can talk to several csr's and get different/conflicting answers while asking the same question. Heckuva way to offer cust service

Old corps, what it be any cheaper or more programming choices is you subscribed to the AEP pack? You'd save the 2nd dvr fee (5.98), I believe and get all the movie channels.

On this site, at the top, last "Sticky Note" re. prices and fees"...........
As of August 15, 2007 --
"The fee on the 1st receiver on an account is waived, if 1 receiver is an HD, that will be considered the primary receiver." I'm not a new subscriber, been with Dish almost 10 years. It does appear that I should be paying a $6 lease fee on the 2nd receiver (also HD) instead of the $5 I've been charged. They'll probably charge me $6 @ piece for 'em retroactively next month plus a "incorrect billing charge" plus a "you did not report being undercharged fee" plus.............
Oh, and Stan---I think it would actually be a couple more bucks for AEP, but you're right, it'd be silly not to do it, BUT........... I was just being totally honest as to what my bill read. I am SUPPOSED to be receiving all four premiums for free for 3 months. I was told I'd receive them gratis as compensation for going through about 3 weeks of hell trying to get an upgrade completed--no shows/no calls, bad installation, hours on the phone, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da. Of course, when I received my bill, sure enough, they'd charged me for 'em
.
The next bill is SUPPOSED to credit me $40 plus I'm still SUPPOSED to receive the premiums for free. I won't hold my breath. I would not subscribe to all 4 premiums, possibly 2.

Stan-I just realized(I'm old & senile) that I found my info from the same place you found the DVR pkg. prices, BFG's post. Just look down further. Maybe that's SUPPOSED to apply ONLT to subs after 8/15/07????????

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
