A Dish tech told me the same thing when I first started calling for the 622 upgrade and I am leasing my 811. Now what sense does that make? To give a $200 rebate to leasers? These CSRs are misinforming people plain and simple. The Dish tech who finally set up my order for the 622 told me it was only for the 921 and the 942, and I believe her since she was actually competent enough to get my 622 order in when I made it on Feb 1st (something a lot of people had trouble doing).
Also, the only receivers that were talked about during Charlie Chat as receiving rebates were the 921 and 942. I think it would be great if 811 owners got a rebate too. But right now, it seems like this is a tactic to get some people to delay upgrading to the 622 and then say "whoops, sorry but only 921 and 942 people get the rebate. But you can get a 622 now for the low price of $299!". My money is on that happening but I totally understand not wanting to risk it if you own an 811 and are hearing otherwise. GL to you.
