Can I swap vip722 for vip922?

[janko]

I'm having problems with my 722 after 7 years. Will dish allow me swap it for 922? Or can I buy it somewhere? Will they allow me to do it? Help pls..

We no longer offer the 922. You are best getting the Hopper system

So I can swap only for Hopper. I have also 2 211s in my house but don't wanna change them. Just 722..

This is also not an option as we only allow 1 purchased 211 to be on an account with a Hopper system

If you OWN the 211s you will be able to keep them but if they are leased you would have to return them to DISH if you upgrade to the Hopper.

What about to buy the hopper? Will they activate?

Yes but still only 1 owned 211 allowed on a Hopper system.

There is NO financial advantage to buying a Dish receiver outright anymore for a regular account, except for not having a two-year contract, which would go by quickly anyway. There are NO discounts for owning one. You WILL pay all the same fee's and such as a person just leasing one.

What is wrong with using the Protection Plan and getting a free replacement 722. That will keep things the same as they are except working.

Are you sure about that??? I seem to recall that when the Pathway X2 came out - that is capable of supporting (2) 211 receivers simultaneously - that E* then started allowing (2) 211's on Hopper accounts...

That's exactly what I did with my owned 722, along with my two leased 612s. Got 3 good replacements via DIRT w/no issues. I believe I got the two 612s replaced for free since they were leased, but I had to add the protection plan to get the 722 replaced for low cost.

That was officially announced in the Jan 14, 2014 retailer chat.

You can have 2 owned Vip211s on a hopper account.
I've already confirmed several times with Dish activation department.
