Thanks, good to know.
What's the best way to go about it? Call and tell them I'm thinking about doing that,get the go ahead and buy the thing and they issue the credit after I activate the new receiver?
I would call them and see what they can do, let them know that you want a particular recvr model and they can't gaurentee you that model ... your wanting to order it online at a vendor such as Solid Signal or Dishstore and would like to know if they will credit you and you will return the one your currently using once it's activated.
They MAY give you a credit, or maybe not.
Alot may have to do with your current credit history, how long you've been with them if your payments are always up to date.
I'm not saying they aren't just thinking they may use that type of thing to decide to credit you.
Remember they may offer a different type of credit instead, such as if you have a Movie Channel, they may offer you a deal, $10 off for 12 months or maybe $ 20 off, don't know thus paying for your movie channel instead as long as the price is equal it really doesn't matter.
