Long story short, after nearly a decade with Dish, I got angry with them in April and dumped them. I was set to sign up with Directv this past weekend, but they screwed up my original appointment on Saturday morning, and didn't show up for the second (reschedule) on Sunday. I've still not gotten a phone call from them over 36 hours later. By Sunday night, I had signed up with Dish again.
Anyway, my question is, can I sign up for the Bronze package and multisport -- and receive my local RSN along with (subject to blackout) the other RSNs around the country? Dish took my order for exactly this and I spoke with several CRs (another long story) about my programming order. None blinked an eye about it. But because the Bronze is essentially AT60, NOT AT60 Plus, I question if I'll get all the other RSNs -- but not the RSN for local area? Or will Dish backtrack altogether when I try to activate and tell me I CAN'T subscribe in this configuration -- and that I'll have to upgrade to the Silver pak?
Also, is there a definitive answer re the 211 lease fee? The first CR told, "welcome back" and "no, absolutely, there's no lease fee on the first receiver." The second CR insisted there WAS a lease fee and there was no way within their internal options to waive it, even if they wanted to. The third CR insisted the first CR was right all along.
I have a headache and I haven't even actually re-upped with this company yet. That's set for Thursday, when the 211 scheduled to be delivered. Will I receive another surprise when I call in and try to activate?
