Buying the VIP 622?

You're gonna pay that fee whether you lease or own, they just call it something different.

I like to own all my own stuff and if I don't want them anymore, sell them, get some residual value from them. Just my opinion.
 
Dish charges existing customers a $6 lease fee even if they only lease one box and only have the leased box active. If you currently have a an active box without a lease fee and lease a 622 you will be charged a $6 lease fee but not a mirroring fee so it comes out the same monthly price if you are going to have more than one box.
 
I think the lease fee is waived for the first receiver on most programming packages. To wit - I lease an 811 and a 311 and I own a 622. I believe the 811 is considered the primary receiver on the account. I pay nothing additional for the 811, a $6 "Add'l Receiver Access Fee" for the 622 (plus the $5.98 DVR fee), and a $5 "Leased Receiver Fee" for the 311. E* waives the $5 additional tuner fee on the 622 because I have the phone line connected. YMMV...

I think that is because you leased the 811 from the start.

Say as an existing customer you owned an 811 and decided to replace your owned 811 with a leased 622. The 622 will be the only box on the account. As I understand it you will be charged a lease fee even though you only have one box.

You may very well be right on that. When I had two owned legacy receivers (both owned from the start, nothing ever leased at that time), I only paid the extra receiver fee - whatever it was called at the time - on one unit. The other was "free" with the basic programming, IIRC. (If you do pay a fee on a single owned receiver, it will have a different name than "leased receiver fee", as if that matters any!)

I can only speak from my own experience and like I said, YMMV...
 

Did my 622 die, and if so, any way to save recordings?
