Dual accounts same address Hopper/VIP line.

Did a job yesterday like this.
Original Vip install was in wife's name and the new connect hopper install was in the husbands name.

I would like this post except that I definitely DO NOT like the dual account part.

Some people love their tv.

I have rolled out on new connects before where they have an active DTV account going and I am installing Dish right next to it.

Yeah I just find this stupid... drop the VIP and add another hopper. The costs are the same yet you gain another tuner and better system.

Maybe he just REALLY doesn't want her to see what he watches on TV. It's a waste of money, that's for sure.

I really don't understand why people would do this? huh? Really, really? why?

Judging from the home cars and stuff the they owned money isn't an a worry.

My wife feels the same way. I'm not partial to tiled interfaces either. Windows 8?

I did the same thing several years ago, right after the installer left I shut off the account with my 811/522 once I had my new VIP 722 setup. Dish said my wife was a "new" customer, but wouldn't let me get a new receiver at the time.

I guess I'm a big 'ol money waster... I have four Hoppers, one Joey, and a 722k on a separate account. There are several reasons why :-
1.) Because I can.
2) I can take the 722k anywhere I want without any worries.
2.) Two more tuners + dual OTA.
3.) Sometimes my 722k is more reliable at recording things than all four of my Hoppers combined.
4.) Because I can.
5.) Did I mention... Because I can?

When I moved back in 2007, I was going to do a Dish Mover but I still wanted to have service at the old house for a few months while I did some work on it getting it prepped for sale. Somehow they set me up with a brand new DHA account with all the discounts and 2-year commitment while keeping my old account active until I canceled it 3 months later. So for a while, I had 2 accounts active as well.

I think this is mostly about having two accounts active at the same address. That's how I took it atleast

I know, I just thought this was a good place to tell my story how I got new customer pricing without waiting the requisite 3 months or using Dish Mover.

 

[ChadT41]

Lol ohh. I do say congrats sir. Not easy to do, so however it happened, good job.

For 2 years I had both a Dish and TWC cable. I had the super b asic cable before that. I called to cancel and was made an offer that I couldn't refuse. For only about $8/mo more I got basic digital cable with a dvr and a digital box for 2 years. Basically the only time I used it was to watch MSG.
Then a month ago I got a letter that said my rate was going up by $30/mo. Next days the dvr and cable box were back at the TWC office. I was told they would put the trap in the line in a few days. So far they haven't.

it was a rural customer and people like those here usually will have like 3 different address that all are the same location.
there is the old grandfathered "12345 whatever road" that many people still use, then people will have a rural route box whatever address to get their mail delivered to the home and then there is the new e-911 address system for emergency services.

on the same note with rural customers in my region I service if you cant contact them or have intimate knowledge of the back roads and county roads forget about locating a customer using any gps or mapping system accurately.
