Additional 622 for $99 Upgrade Information....

Good things come to those who have waited! The $200 Equipment Return Credit for swapping a model 921 or 942 DISH Player DVR receiver for a ViP622 DVR has arrived!
Effective April 1, 2006, customers with an HD DVR (model 921 or 942) receiver will be eligible for a special offer as part of the DISH’n It Up promotional program. By paying the upfront $299.99 fee and upgrading to a ViP622 DVR, participating subscribers may be eligible to receive a $200.00 Equipment Return Credit if they return their 921 or 942 to DISH Network. With the $200.00 Equipment Return Credit, the net upgrade fee for the ViP622 DVR is only $99.99. ($299.99 upfront upgrade fee – $200 Equipment Return Credit = $99.99). Standard DISH’n It Up promotional program retailer economics apply. Please refer to the Business Rules on the Retailer Care Site under Info Center à BUSINESS RULES à Existing Customer Promotions à DISH’n It Up Promotion.

Here’s how the $200.00 Equipment Return Credit works:
· Customers will have the opportunity to swap their existing receiver for a ViP622 DVR (HD/MPEG-4) receiver for just$99.99 ($200.00 Equipment Return Credit off the current price of $299.99).The $200.00 credit will be applied to the customer’s billing statement after their model 921 or 942 receiver is received by DISH Network.

o Customers must pay the $299.99 upfront upgrade fee and return their 921/942 receiver to DISH Network within 60 days of activation of the ViP622 DVR receiver. A $200.00 credit will be applied to their account within approximately six weeks from the date DISH Network receives the 921 or 942.

o If a credit balance results on a customer’s account, no billing statement will be sent until a balance is owed to DISH Network. Customers will be notified by DISH Network through the mail once the $200.00 credit has been applied; they will also be able to check their account on www.dishnetwork.com.
- Please note that customers who receive the $200.00 Equipment Return Credit for an owned model 921/942 receiver will not be eligible to receive the $25.00 credit for exchange of an owned receiver otherwise available under the DISH’n It Up promotional program.

· Please do not take the customer’s 921/942 receiver or return it on the customer’s behalf, even if the swap is performed in the first 180 days. Leave the 921/942 receiver with the customer. The customer will receive a box in the mail with a shipping label and instructions about how to return their receiver to DISH Network to receive their credit. Upon DISH Network’s receipt of the 921/942, a $200.00 Equipment Return Credit will be applied to the customer’s billing statement.

· For those customers who require an HD antenna upgrade as part of the DISH’n It Up promotion, the promo code RETANTUPG must be provided before the promo code RETDIU. Please make sure to provide the RETDIU promo code to the Customer Service Representative in any case.

· Coming soon: We are evaluating a promotion targeted to customers who would like to participate in the $200.00 Equipment Return Credit and upgrade to a ViP622 DVR but who prefer to purchase their equipment as opposed to leasing it. We are also evaluating a promotion targeted to customers who have multiple HD receivers today and wish to upgrade them all to ViP series/MPEG-4 receivers. So stay tuned!

Thanks for Supporting DISH Network!

You mean that $99 covers installation including switches and a Dish1000 if needed?

But you'd still need an 18-month commitment. And all you'd save is the $6/month lease fee?

What am I not seeing here? Pride of ownership? The ability to resell the thing on Ebay?
