[Scott Greczkowski]

Now talking about anything interesting, talking about DHP and Free Dish offer, nothing of use to exising customers.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Now talking about DHP and Phone Line requirements.

Nothing really of interest.

 

[Oyving]

What are the phone line requirements? For those of us who don't have phones.

 

[jwarden]

Anything about the 522 being out of stock?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still nothing else new, talking about DHP still.

$200 activation fee for customers who don't want to give Dish their SSN.

$200??? I assume that's just for DHP customers?

Why does any business need a SSN if you're doing CC autopay and they have your CC number? With identity theft such a huge problem these days, many are reluctant to give our their SSN.

Credit cards can be cancelled or changed, SS# sticks with you a little better and helps dealers get their money if you cancel too soon .. or try to skip out on the deal.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes for DHP and Free Dish customers, not Cash and carry customers.

OK, I can see it if you're getting subsidized equipment, but no reason to if you purchase your equipment outright.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The 811 $149/$199 exisiting customer deal now requires you to subscribe to the HD package for a year.

This is concerning DHP ONLY, i.e. subsidized equipment.... I think ?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The 811 Aspect Radio software will be going out today

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

There will be a retailer tech chat next week to talk about the 522/322 as dealers are having trouble installing those units.
