DVR fee

[andrewj0781]

Does Directv charge one DVR fee per receiver or per account? I was thinking about getting a HR34 and if its per account I would be dumb to return the HR24 I'd be better off replacing a H24.

One DVR fee per account....

 

[mdram]

yep per account
i replaced an h24 with an hr34, and no change in monthly price

Replace the h24


Unlike Dirt Network, fees are per account and not per receiver.

You pay $6 regardless what type of receiver you have active

Sorry to bust your troll like bubble Claude, but at one time I had 2 722 units and pain ONLY a single DVR fee for the account.

And you didn't report thier error, you THIEF YOU !

Dish current set up you pay a DVR fee for each recvr.
Directv, you pay the single DVR fee for the entire account.

I would seriously think he know what he's talking about seeing he's sold DISH for many years.

 

[coinmaster32]

That is not true.

Yes, DISH Network used to charge $6.00 per DVR receiver but it is now an account level fee. $6.00 a month covers all DVR's active on that account. We did do away with the TV2 connection fee.

Where does this misinformation come from??? ONE $6 DVR account fee with Dish. (and ONE $4 Whole home fee for the Hoppa.)

What Claude is saying is with Directv regardless of receiver type added to the account its $6 per receiver fee

Dish can be 7, 10, 14 or 17 depending on the receiver type

and yes you are paying 2 DVR fees if you have more than one DVR on the account with Dish
IF you have 2 722's on the account you are paying $6 for the DVR fee and on the 2nd 722 its $17 for a dual tuner DVR....dual tuner receivers are only $14 so yes dish is double dipping the DVR fees

That's how it was. I know when I had Dish they use to charge $6.00 per DVR (but something tells me it use to be $5.98 or something) then when the receivers prices went up they claim on one DVR free but it's like Iceberg said.

If you pay a fee for each DISH DVR, are you allowed to turn the DVR portion off from month to month and save the money when needed ?

 

[Mr Tony]

nope

nope

I wondered about that ...
Then again, supposivly, if you have D* and a HD recvr, you HAVE to have the "HD" on, thus paying for the HD fee ...
I think that changed when they started pushing the HD into peoples homes that don't have HD, but I remember there was a time that they said that was the case.

I know friends of mine have HD recvr and don't have HD service (no HD TV's and not interested)

 

[Claude Greiner]

Yes its 1 $6 DVR fee per account with DISH Network, but the DVR fee on the additional receivers are hidden away in higher additional receiver fee costs.

For example...

211 $7
311 $7
512 $10
612 $10
222 $14
322 $14
625 $17
622 $17
722 $17
922 $20

If there is only 1 DVR fee per account, why is it more to add a 722 receiver than a 222 receiver?

With Directv its $6 across the board! Any home with multiple DVR's, Directv beats Dish hands down on monthly price.

The additional receiver fees on Dish are enough to drive you up a wall

There are local markets where you NEED a HD receiver to see the locals. HD access is not required (but you will still get the locals in HD just no other programming in HD)
