I'm just coming off the 18 month lease on a VIP211. I'm not positive which day it ends but it has either already happened or is a day or two away. When I originally had the equipment installed -- I had a local install company do it and signed up through them. I'm not even sure who the company was now. If I cancel, do I send the equipment back to DISH or does it go to the original installer who would send it back to Dish? Also, am I going month to month (no lease) after the 18 mo's as long as I don't upgrade anything or do I get trapped into another 18 mo's if I take no action?
I'm not sure if I'll resubscribe or not but if I did, it would be with an HD DVR like the VIP722. It looks like I could "dish it up" for $49 and get that. Not sure what other promotions might be available -- probably none since I'm not a new subscriber. Kind of makes it tempting to go with DirecTV since their receiver prices are coming down today so that a HR20/21 would be $99 after rebate plus the $10/off programming per month for 1 year. They also have more HD content at the moment.
