Brewer4 said:I just dont get why folks want to own versus lease. You dont pay any monthly lease fees, just an upfront cost. If you quit Dish what are you gonna do? I know you can sell the receivers but your telling me its better to own something for 2 years, have it depreciate and lose value and sell the thing for a quarter of the price? I just dont get it.
Well if you own the equipment and they are asking you to give something YOU own for the right to lease one that BS in my book. I gave up on dish last week and happy I did so. I already sold my 811 and almost was enough to pay an entire years cable programming at the promotional price they offered me.
If I were still with E* I would be mighty pissed if they asked me for MY 811 to be able to lease a 211 which seems like a crappy version of an 811 considering it doesn't even have a UHF remote. All it seems to have over the 811 is MPEG4 otherwise its akin to a 311.
