By the way this is off topic but when I was searching around I read a reply by somebody that sounded like they really knew their stuff and they were saying the first receiver is generally free to lease. Did he mean most people don't pay the $7 per month leased receiver fee that I do for my 2 year old 622 or was he just talking about the up front price being free?

There is no lease fee for the first leased receiver. See this link and scroll down to Leased Receiver Fees:

I am aware that NASA is a public interest channel but so is CSPAN. The is no charge to carry the channels as they are paid for by the cable industry and congress I believe. I was not being critical only expressing a desire that they be included because they are certainly more important than the Shopping Channels and are at least important as NASA.

Thanks for that info... I called them up armed with that info and the CSR said she thought that was normal since I had an HD receiver. I stuck to my guns and quoted the page and she said she'd check with her supervisor. 10 minutes later she gets back on and says he said back when I signed up the leased receiver fee was normal but since it's not anymore he's going to take it off. I asked about getting a retroactive credit back to the point where it most other people weren't paying it but she said that wasn't possible and really it was just the plan I signed up under and the supervisor was doing me a favor by removing it.

Ah well... I guess I'll just wait until February 1 and reorganize the entire bill anyway at which point I probably would have gotten that 7 dollars adjusted regardless.
