So you're saying that the 921 will be free because IT will be on a lease deal as well as the 942? Or the 942 will be free because it will be on a lease deal? I am little confused.
I bet the 921 will still be a $999 silver lump!! (even though I do enjoy it!) Hopefully it will hold some resale value like the OLD 6000 did. They will start fire selling the 921 at time of 942 release, like they did the 6000 just prior to release of 921. (It turned out to be a great deal for some of us who got $150 6000s, then got early 921s in Jan., and then sold 6000 for $550 on Ebay!!!!!!!!) Thus, I really got my 921 for half price
If the 942 is going to be a lease, it is never FREE. The lease will probably have a minimum 2 years with a high early cancel penalty & still need to send unit back, like the 500 series leases. DISH owns the box.
$1000/24months = ~ $41.00/month
???? lease ~$20-25/month.
Advantage is less costly upgrading to newer units every 2 years!! I would have prefered to lease the 921 knowing that it will be trash tech after a few years.
