Dish equipment charge

[cesater]

I currently have a dual HD/SD 720 DVR and a dual sd 311 receiver and pay $14 equipment rental to D....if I buy my own receivers, will they drop the equipent rental or will they want to charge me for the dish on the roof? $100 plus bill each month has go to go.

 

[scubasteve]

they charge the same if you own or lease the equipment so it will not change the billing at all

I dont know how true that is i just purchased my vip222k and i conferenced with a dishnetwork customer service person he said because i purchased my unit its mine and they dont charge for that granted that the 39.95 a month deal went out the window because if you own your equipment you pay the regular price but no contract can cancel anytime no fee

 

[MJTech12]

Oh by the way i have the transcript of my conversation with customer service to back it up

If your VIP222K is the only receiver on your subscription there will no charge for it, whether you own it or lease it. If it is the second or more, there will be a extra receiver charge for it whether you own it or lease it.

yes thats right i only have the 1 just using it for camping but still if you own it its better

That is worthless.

WITHOUT ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER, YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE SAME, WHETHER YOU OWN OR LEASE. Keep in mind, first receiver does not incur the charge.

Only because it keeps you out of a contract....

 

[MJTech12]

thats why i went with dishnetwork I heard Directtv charges for all

 

[MJTech12]

yes i like not having a contract

 

[MJTech12]

They should come out with a reciever thats wifi and that it can connect to other recievers without cabling

Any reciever after the first has an access fee charge wheather you own or lease. Difference is, if your owned reciever tanks, you gotta buy one to replace it, if you lease you can usually get a swap for the shipping cost. If you wanna cut down on your tv bill, cancel it all together, watch tv on your computer ( i know not an option) lol

You heard wrong.
Both companys Charge addtional receiver fees after the first receiver.

D* is $5 for the 2nd and each rooms above that.
E* well, they just make up the fee's as they go.
But ranges from Free on the 2nd room- up to $10 depending on your equipment.

Mirror or Lease fee's

4 rooms D* fee's are $15
4 rooms E* fee's are $17-$30
