Is Dish charging me too Much?

[giddy169]

Here is what my bill looks like:
Feb 15 - Mar 14 DISH Network DVR Service Fee 0.00
GoldHD 10.00
PlatinumHD 10.00
TV2 Receiver Connection - (You Can Save $5
By Connecting Your Receiver To A Phone Line /
Broadband.)
5.00
TV2 Receiver Connection - (You Saved $5 By
Connecting Your Duo Receiver To A Phone Line
/ Broadband.)
0.00
America's Everything Pak With Locals 102.98
HD Solo Receiver 7.00
HD Solo Receiver 7.00
HD DuoDVR Receiver 7.00
Feb 03 State/Local Tax (Sales/Gross Receipts) 0.58

For a grand total of $149.56.

I thought now only one VIP 622 had to be plugged into the phone line? Couldn't that save me $5 or is that just in certain packages? Also, is this $10 for Gold and $10 for Platinum their new billing style? If anyone is wondering I have 2 VIP 622's and 2 VIP 211's.

What do you guys think is this what I should be charged? Is there a cheaper alternative for everything I am getting?

Thanks

This is likely the bill based on last month. I think the 1st receiver waver starts this month. You can save $5 by hooking the other that isn't the primary receiver to the internet via the ethernet port in the back of the receiver or a phone line. I wouldn't take any chances. I'd cable both of them.
