Charge for Wallys?

[tylerbonezjonez]

Does Dish charge the $7 for Wally's if one is owned instead of leased?

 

[TheKrell]

Fees are the same owned or leased unless you have multiple receivers.

You were already told this when you were asking about the Hopper/Blockbuster unit-

Why are you trying to buy such old equipment, you will still have to pay a monthly box fee, should just get something newer then.

All boxes, you will have to pay.

.....and pay and pay and pay till you no longer subscribe.

It's $5 for owned Wallys.

 

[MikeD-C05]

It's $5 for owned Wallys.

And that is for even one Wally now? I had read somewhere that they were going to charge you for every Wally even if you only had one of them.

First receiver is always free. Each additional is $7 for leased or $5 for purchased.

There has been considerable debate and varied reporting on results for box charges, especially owned receivers.
The best I have been able to ferret out is if your owned equipment is generally considered as primary on your account and any additional equipment is secondary. Secondary owned equipment may incur a reduced receiver fee but secondary leased equipment gets the full receiver fee.
I have no experience with Wallys so I cannot speak to the question if a primary Wally incurs a receiver fee. Back when I had ViP211's the first receiver did not incur a receiver fee.
My H3 does not have a receiver fee associated with it but all Hopper installs have a $15 Hopper DVR Service fee on the account and my leased Joey Receiver has a $7 Joey Receiver fee.
Anecdotally, I have heard that , for example, having two owned Hoppers, the first gets no receiver fee and the second has a $10 receiver fee (reduced from $15) and any owned Joeys on that same account get $5 receive fees but the whole account also gets the $15 Hopper DVR Service fee. I have also heard of this situation where the receivers all incurred the full receiver fees and no one has satisfactorily explained why there might be a difference.
Clear as mud.

I believe it depends on the age of your account, I am not charged for my primary Wally and neither are may parents. We own all of the Wallys and the additional ones are $5/mo.

No I wasn't. I was asking about 2 totally different receivers. lol.

What's newer then a Wally?

 

[Bobby]

What's newer then a Wally?

You originally spoke about a Hopper/Blockbuster unit. That is old, old, old. Wally is a receiver of an entirely different mold but it is newer.

Ended up buying a receiver off eBay, originally I thought I was receiving a hopper with sling but ended up receiving a hopper 3 for $75.

I have a unique setup, that's why I was asking about the Wallys. I'm not interested in the joeys.

I am aware of your setup from your prior threads. Your mom has the Wallys in the main house and you want to set up the Hopper 3 in the back house, same address, same property. I know the account for the front house is in your name. I know the back house has its own dish. If you want to set up the Hopper 3 you can only have 1 Wally on that same account.

 

[n0qcu]

Actually you can have two Wallys or 211s on a account that has Hoppers

 

[Bobby]

Ah, yes, I remember that now.

 

[pamajestic]

I sure hope the hopper is in the clear and not attached to somebody's account.
