Really? That just removed what was the major stumbling block to me upgrading.... I have a bunch of content that I would hate to lose access to..... I knew I could move them between the 622 and 722, but I didn't realize they could jump generations without a hitch as well.... Hmm. Anyone know if they do free upgrades to upgrade to Hopper/Joey in exchange for a new commitment, or is there some other charge involved? (I'm on the service plan as well)
Generally the equipment upgrade is free but you are required to pay the technician visit fee. The fee is $95 unless you have the protection plan. The protection plan lowers the fee to $15. All upgrades require 24 month contract renewal.
