dual tuner?

[catman60]

if get a dual tuner receiver am i automaticaly charged the $5 a month like the extra receiver charge or can i not use the other output and not be charged

Dual tuners connected to telephone or internet are not charged $5 additional outlet fee. If not connected the $5 fee is applied wether you use the output or not.

you can also connect it to the internet if its a VIP reciever and get the 5 dollar fee waived.

what is the reason for only using one tv? sometimes I would have to hook up a 625 to a single tv (no single tuner dvr's for SD) and they would waive the 5 dollar fee

If it is the first dual tuner receiver the charge is waived.

You sort of answered your own question. A receiver is a physical box. Some receivers (boxes) have dual tuners in them (tv1 and tv2)

Every charge I've ever seen is per-receiver (box). Nothing is per-tuner.

With a dual-tuner receiver there should be no difference in your bill whether or not you use tv2

Most current dual tuner receivers have an 'TV2 connection fee', except on the first receiver on the account. The fee can be waived if you connect a phone line (and in the case of Vip HD receivers, a ethernet to a dsl) to the receiver.

I stand corrected, thanks. E* contributes to the confusion by describing the fee as "TV2 Receiver" fee on the bill under "explantion of charges"

It is my understanding that you would be subject to said fee on the second receiver even if it were a single tuner and hence no TV2

But I believe my last statement is correct - your bill doesn't change whether or not you _use_ tv2
