Is this right for an existing customer?
Sanju (ID: 3MA): I'm sorry Will, you need to have America's Top 200 to get the Hopper.

How much is the Hopper upgrade costing you?

In deference to Scott 's request to us, I'm not posting something considered mean. So as nicely as I can, I say you should switch providers as you threatened, and give yourself less aggravation. OR contact the DIRT team here, OR just wait a bit.........
I hope that's incorrect. It would be a deal breaker for me. I stay with dish for the cheaper packages(dish america) and if I have to pay more in order to get the receiver I want I may have to consider switching providers as there would no longer be a value here.
Here is what I got. (thanks DIRT - Zach)
I have america silver
722K
i now will have 1 hopper 1 joey for 100bucks up front and new 2 year agreement, no other charges
also got 10 bucks off per month for 6 months.
I called Zach today at 1 pm central and they could come today between 12-5, LOL,
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
I had to hold them to tomorrow 8-12 so I can transfer everything left to my 2TB EHD
DIRT rocks
why waste your time with normal CSR!!!

The DIRT rep told me AT 120 is eligible for a Hopper. Breaker for me too would make by bill jump $15 on top of the whole home and joey fees. Would make my bill go up 58%.
Cool. Thanks. I think I'm paying only a few bucks more upgrading from a 622 and 212
yes, waiting to hear back, im sure poor Zach is getting crushed by messages
in the meantime i tried calling back and got an extremely loud offshore support team. i asked to speak to a supervisor and they transferred me to the cancellation department instead. they offered me the low low price of $400 to upgrade and refused to tell me why my account was being treated differently. and this is the third person i've talked to that could really care less if i cancel, zero effort put into retaining a customer of 3 years. awful.
Contact DIRT. I am all set. $100 and no forced upgrade in programming. I am still AT 120. I ordered 1 hopper and 2 joeys for $100 as an existing customer. First call I made said $300, then chat said $200 and upgrade to AT 120. With DIRT, no programming change and $100 for everything installed! I do have the service plan, no late payments with auto payment, and have been a 7 year subscriber with 3 years under current equipment. Thanks again DIRT and good luck to the rest of you.
I am a previous customer and am being told it will cost me $600 to upgrade to 2 Hoppers/2 Joeys. The rep originally said $200 but then it wouldn't go into the system. Loyalty said I am not eligible for a discount upgrade and can't say why. I even spoke to someone in the Executive Resolution team who said the same thing, offering me only $100 off, or the option to cancel my service without paying a cancellation penalty. Which I really didn't want to do, but at this point I am so frustrated I am considering it. I have had 2 defective 722's and a flaky 922 in the last 6 months and put up with it, waiting for the Hopper, only to be raked over the coals for $500. I'm going to send a PM to a DIRT member in case they can help.
Just set up the upgrade from one 722/one 211 to one Hopper/one Joey. Dealt with a very nice CSR who unfortunately was out sick yesterday when they did H/J CSR training. I actually knew more info than she did, but I expected that, and was cool with it. She had to put me on hold a few times as she worked her way through the screens. Turns out that (as I expected, given I've been with Dish more than a decade and on autopay) I'm a 5-star customer.
Upshot:
$100 Hopper
$0 Joey
Truck roll install fee $95
Monthly fee increase: $2
Install time: tomorrow morning between 8AM-Noon.
We also discovered that I was being incorrectly charged $10/mo even though I qualified for HD for Life. That got fixed. But for some reason my bills have been showing a $10 receiver credit lately, so it was a wash. Good to have things straightened out, anyway.
The only thing I may check with DIRT about is how I see reports here of the install fee being waived. Otherwise, I'm a happy camper. Now, considering that my install is very likely to be the installer's first ever H/J install, let's see how I feel tomorrow afternoon.

$200 minus a small credit for existing leased receivers with installation on Sunday. I could have had it installed yet today, but I'm running on only a little sleep at this time.
