I have been a customer of Dish for over 3 years now. I subscribe to the Dish 120 w/locals and the HD package. I currently have an 811 receiver that is my primary receiver. I am interested in upgrading to the Vip 622 and I have called Dish a couple of times to see what they can do. Dish keeps saying that I have to pay the full price to get the new receiver.. I told them that I would be willing to lease the box as well as trade my current 811 in. They still say that I need to pay full price.
So I called Comcast to see what they could do for me. They are willing to upgrade me for free, to a DVR and HD receiver as well as their 200 channel package and I will be saving about 20 bucks a month over all. I enjoy Dish and I don't really want the hassle of having to switch, but at the sametime, I am pretty frustrated that Dish isn't willing to work with me. Suggestions anyone?
In an unrelated question, I have a Toshiba widescreen TV and the stretch option kinda sucks with the 811, is it any better with the 622?
