Got a guy here local that selling an SL dish, and 5 various receivers, some HD, some DVR, etc. I'm curious if buying them will save me any money monthly with DTV?

We've been kicking around going back to either Dish or getting DTV as our cable sucks. Both seem to be within $2 a month of each other, but I like the whole house DVR feature of DTV, yet I was very happy with my 722's intergrated dual tuner OTA addon as well. Any HD DVR from DTV have that option?
 
couple notes on the D* receivers
if the receivers are newer they are probably leased....
you cannot activate a new account with "old" equipment (previously activated)
you wont save any money as the fees are the same
 
like iceberg said the fees will stay same. You would be best to get the RID numbers and then call in and see if able to activate. If not your SOL.

Also, likely will extend your contract 2 more yrs.
 
nvm, thought u had directv already.

I guess if you buy them from the guy you wouldnt have to spend on receivers from directv. But you may qualify for 2 free upgrades, HD and HDDVR.
