When was the last time you upgraded your equipment? I believe you can only upgrade once a year.

Hi stoney, please send me a PM with your account information. It really does vary by account as to what upgrade promotion you can qualify for but I will be happy to look into this for you and advise your options. Thank you!

What? I was thinking of updating a 722k also to the 922. I already have a 922 for my primary and am so enamored with the 922 I just have to have another........but for 450 bucks?

ok, after seeing that dish was offering the 922 receiver free , I thought I would call again. well it gets better. It's not $450 but $649.F'n unbelievable. Apparently I am being penalized for being bundled with AT&T.

This is why I always recommend that nobody signs up through a telco instead I always say sign up through dishstore, your local dish network retailer or directly through dish.

I guess I found out the hard way. Maybe I'll try to go with the 722

me too. thought i would qualify because i pay my bill early and have the top 250 and been a customer for 3 years now. but, i was told i still had to have the $200 upfront

 

[gadgtfreek]

$200 is not that bad IMO, but after looking at the 922 vs my 722K (With MT2, 1TB EHD and Sling Adapter), no real reason to upgrade.

I called and they are find with giving me the 922, but i have to pay $95 for the tech visit to install it.
If I am going to have a tech come out i think i will have them keep my 622 on the account and just use it for the kids in the other room.

Call and order the service plan before you set up the appointment. That'll knock your $95 down to $15. Then in 5-6 months you can cancel the plan. You'll come out ahead.

Is the 922 more stable when it comes to the heat issue with the 722?

my 922 is stable and doesnt have any heat issues and have had no problems with it

I believe it's 150 days on the plan before you get an ETF for dropping the Protection Plan. The fee is only $25 so you can drop it right away if you desire. It's still cheaper than the $95 truck roll. Or keep it for 5 months for $30, $5 more than the $25, and have some protection for a while.

Drop it immediately, it only costs you $25, if you keep it it costs you at least twice that much and it is not worth it unless you have more than 3 trouble calls per year.

Yes, but as the previous post says, it's only $5 more to keep it for the 5 required months, piece of mind for any potential problems with a new installation/receiver.

You can just install the 922 yourself? You need a tech to install it for you? Is it really that complicated?
