Yesterday I called and changed to the DVR Advatage plan and I also upgraded an old 501 receiver that I have had since I joined Dish many years ago, to a 622 receiver. This will make two 622 receivers that I have total. In going over the breakdown of my new bill with the CSR, She said I would pay $12 a month for a lease fee (that's $6 per receiver) as well as $5.98 DVR fee (one DVR fee is waived for the DVR Advantage).
I always assumed that the primary receiver on any account did not pay a lease fee, only each receiver past the first one. She said that only applied to the original receiver I received when I first signed up with Dish (which would be the original 501). But since I'm upgrading that receiver to a newer receiver, then I would need to pay a lease on both receivers.
Does this sound accurate, or did I get another CSR that does not know what she's talking about? If this is correct, then I'm paying $18 up front for two receivers ($24 without DVR Advantage), and that's without adding any programming at all.
