Hey this is Claude Greiner from the DISHStore, reporting for Satelliteguys!
I just got off the phone with one of my contacts at DISH Network a few minutes ago and I have confirmed that they do have Model 622's in their warehouse.
However there are a few issues......
First of all the software for these receivers is not ready to be released, which means the inventory that is available is currently on hold for 14 days. Second of all, since there is only 250 units available Nationwide at all (6) Echosphere Distribution centers, there is less than 40 units available per location, meaning that they will be allocating 1 per dealer when the product is finally released.
In addition you might have also seen some of the ebay listings for the DVR 622, they can't get any product either. So if you bid on one, don't be surprised if they can't deliver what they are selling!
Please do not call the DISHStore or your local retailer asking about product availability, because they do not know anything more than what is posted here.
The good news is that if you want to become a new DISH Network customer, meaning you have never had DISH Network service in the past, the DISHStore can take order and get you an installation date. The lease upgrade Fee is $299, in addition as always the DISHStore is waiving the initial $49.99 activation Fee when you take an 18 month committment. This means you pay $0 upfront and get $49.99 back on your first bill, which effectivly makes a DVR 622 $249.
Currently we are scheduling new installations for first time customers 14-21 days in advance.
Other than that, DISH Network officially raised their prices today. Please click on the link below for an easy to use cheat sheet to understand the new pricing...
