Any point in buying a Joey 4K?

[Trouthead]

I see Joey 4ks on EBAY for approx $90. I pay 7 dollars a month rental for my current Joey 4K. Will I still be charged a rental feel even if I own the Joey? My guess knowing Dish is that they have us coming and going. But I am curious if I buy a Joey 4K outright and hook it up myself will it work with no extra fee?

The $7 is an additional outlet fee for the programming and is charged whether you buy the receiver or they loan it to you. The only advantage to owning one would be if you want to turn the activation on and off.
