Recommendation to drop a receiver?

[shrefler]

I currently have a 211 and a 625. I'm thinking about upgrading to a 722 tommorrow and dropping the second receiver since I really only need the one receiver (2 tuners) at this point. In the future, I'm concerned I'll want a second receiver (HD probably). Does anyone have any experience with adding a second receiver after taking advantage of the Dish'n'It Up promotion? I dont' want to have to wait 12 months to be able to add another receiver if I need one, but i also dont' want to pay $11 a month to keep the 625 or $6 a month for the 211 and not use it. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Only one Dish it Up allowed per 12 month period.. THat being said, many have been able to get around that using the ceo email address..

You can always buy a receiver and add it to your leased equipment.

Is the additional receiver fee for purchased VIP 722/622 receiver the same as the leased one at $6? Or is the purchased one at $5?

VIP models are $1 more than the rest of Dish's line so it would still be $6.

The # of reasons to own a receiver has dwindled dramatically in the last couple of years. I used to own all my receivers but since they charge basically the same fee whether you own or lease, the financial incentive isn't really there anymore. I think most people that still own their boxes are doing it because they don't like Dish telling them what they can and can't do with it - or they weren't able to get a lease for some reason.

Or, as in my case, I want a 3rd 622, and they won't let me lease tuners 5&6. So I'm going to buy the 3rd 622.
