Addl Receiver Fee

[jackinil]

I currently have one 301 and one 612[recently upgraded] both hooked up to phone lines. My new bill shows an additional receiver fee of $5. I own the 301. I realize it' only $5 but isn't it waived when connected to a phone line? TIA

only the dual tuners have to be connected to the phone line to waive the access fee , but there is automatically a fee for each receiver beyond the 1st

Yep, additional receiver fee is charged on all additional receivers on an account (beats paying for entire programing subscription. Dual tuner receivers without phone/dsl connected is charged a tuner access fee.

The fee you are thinking of (that is waived) is the Additional Outlet Fee.

???????

You lease 2 receivers and connect to a phone line....
1st receiver has no lease fee.
2nd receiver has a lease fee of $5, $6 for an HD
2nd receiver has an additional outlet fee $5 that is waived if connected to same phone line as first.

So 2nd leased receiver is either $5 or $10 depending on if connected to a phone line.
(Or more if a dual tuner.)

You lease 1 receiver, own 1 receiver, and connect to a phone line....
1st receiver is lease and has no fee.
2nd receiver is owned and has no lease fee.
2nd receiver has an additional outlet fee $5 that is waived if connected to same phone line as first.

I dunno...
But I guess if you owned two 622 without a phone line and did not lease anything, you would owe:

3 Additional Outlet Fee's ($15)
2 DVR fee's ($11.96)
2 HD Enabling Fee's ($14)
1 Set of taxes for all of the above.
1 Set of programming charges.

So lets correct this cause you have some stuff wrong.

You lease 2 receivers as a new customer and connect to a phone line....
1st receiver has no lease fee.
2nd receiver has an additional outlet fee of $5, $7 for an HD
If these are single tuner receivers there is no phone line fee.

So 2nd receiver leased or owned as a new customer is $5

Dual Tuner Receivers are the only ones that have an extra $5 fee if not connected to a phone line

You lease 1 receiver, own 1 receiver, and connect to a phone line....
1st receiver is lease and has no fee.
2nd receiver is owned and has no lease fee.
2nd receiver has an additional outlet fee of $5

Again, I'm assuming you are talking about single tuner receivers in this case.

If you owned two 622 without a phone line and did not lease anything, you would owe:

1 Additional Outlet Fee ($5)
Phone line Fee ($10 One for each receiver)
2 DVR fee's ($11.96)
1 HD Enabling Fee's ($7 and Only if you don't get HD, it's not per receiver)
1 Set of taxes for all of the above.
1 Set of programming charges.

You need a 722 instead of a 301 and a 612 then you can save the $5 when connected to a phone line. Of course you have already used your once a year upgrade so you will have to wait till next year.
