722 & 322 - thinking about dropping the 322 and 14.00 Duo Fee question

[JonBlack]

I'm sorry if this has been covered but I searched the forums but really didn't find an answer.

I have a 722 & 322 receiver with AT250 programming and DVR service. My current monthly cost breakdown looks like this:

$64.99 - America's Top 250
$14.00 - Duo (2TV) Receiver
$6.00 - DVR Service
--------------------------------
$84.99 - Total Monthly Charges

If I drop my 322 and just keep the 722 will the $14.00 Duo Receiver Fee go away bringing my monthly charges to this?

$64.99 - America's Top 250
$6.00 - DVR Service
--------------------------------
$70.99 - Total Monthly Charges

Usually, the highest fee receiver is the primary (included in package). I can't answer why that did not happen. If you want to keep them both, call Dish and tell them to change your 722 to the primary, then your 322 would only be $7.00.

No no no. That's wrong. You get the fee waived for te first receiver on the account. So even if you switched around the primary box it would still be the same. It would be only 7 dollars if he had a 311 not 322.

um, nope
322 is a dual tuner so its $14

No, no, no. We're both wrong. I was thinking 311. 322 is dual tuner, not dvr...$14.00.

Dish lets you have a 722 without HD service?

 

[Mr Tony]

yes they can but IIRC he'd have to purchase the unit
Or he has the HD free thingy and is not showing it (obviously he'd have to be on WA as the 322 wont work on EA)

at one point dish was out of 625's so yes we hooked up 722's with 500 dishes for SD.

 

[Mr Tony]

also if you are in an Eastern Arc market you get the VIP receivers regardless if you take HD or not
(but again the OP has to be WA for the reason I posted)

 

[stephenh@DISH]

Yes if you drop the 322 we would remove the $14 charge. The 1st receiver is included in the package and is free. If you end up dropping the 322 if it is leased we will send you a box to return it to us if it is purchased we would just disable it on the account.

Icey, Does not matter leased or owned. You've spouting stuff on our side a lot lately which you really don't know about for sure.

 

[JonBlack]

Thanks for the replies folks! I'll be dropping the 322 in the near future as the extra dual receiver is not worth the additional $14 for us.

Also, I am on the WA and I supposedly have the "HD For Life" thing, hence why I assume it doesn't show up as a fee.

If you no longer have an E* acct there is a good chance that you may not be as informed. Those that deal with it every month when we have to pay our pays tend to know what it cost.

hmmm kinda like you and quoting the wrong price pot meet kettle

Hence I wrote IIRC which is "If I recall correctly" and I also wrote
Or he has the HD free thingy and is not showing it (obviously he'd have to be on WA as the 322 wont work on EA)

which obviously he said he does after the fact. I know if you are on a EA market you get VIP equipment regardless if you want HD or not but WA might be different since you can still get MPEG2 equipment

really? Well then maybe you better talk to your buddy "Kabbie" since he quoted the wrong price and gave wrong info too

 

[whatchel1]

I think this is know as 2 wrongs don't make a right. The E* guy is the one to listen too here.

 

[Mr Tony]

um check post 5. I quoted the right price

 

[3HaloODST]

Well I beat you all to it and gave correct info the first time so there .

 

[Mr Tony]

actually we pretty much posted at the same time
