But for a $100 fee for existing subs unless you're in that top tier right, which no one knows who is in that tier but DISH?

This is indicating that the first 3 joey's are free unless I'm confused.
Free, meaning no upfront cost to the customer. You still have to pay $7/mo. for each Joey on the account.

Sweetness. Thanks Scott!

Hmmm. In the Offers at the bottom it seems to say that if you have the Top 250 package, you'll get a $30/mo credit for 1 year. Is that true?
Or is that for new customers only?
You're currently paying ($6 DVR fee + $10 for the 612) $16 vs. $17 for a Hopper and 1 Joey ($10 DVR fee + $7 for one Joey). You have 4 SAT tuners with the two ViP receivers vs. 3 with the Hopper.
I'd feel a bit more comfortable if that sheet also listed 2 Hoppers and 0 Joeys as an option for 2 TVs. I think it is, but seeing it given "equal billing" would be reassuring.
I doubt they gave that much consideration figuring it wouldn't be a desire for many subs. They have their own mindset and figure most won't want to spend another $200 for a second Hopper. I'd pay for the second Hopper if the fees are the same as the Joey as one obtains more flexibility. I'm thinking of going this direction.
No, you'd need another Joey and another $7 fee if you want all three to have independent viewing. I assumed you just had two sets. My bad.
It all boils down to whether $8 more per month is worth it to you for whole house DVR. It will be for some and not for others.
OK, please correct me if I am wrong here. I have AT250 so I can upgrade free. I have two 722's. So I currently pay $17 for the second receiver plus $6.00 DVR fee ($23 total).
I would like two Hoppers and one Joey. My cost would be $10 + $7 +$7=$24/month. Only one dollar difference. Is that right or am I missing something?
Edit: Actually that second Hopper is going to cost something additional up-front isn't it?

Gotcha, don't know how I missed that. So would two Hoppers be $99 x 2 up front?
Also was my monthly calculation accurate?
