Stupid question.

[Seabow]

Sorry for the newbie question, but what exactly is a mirror fee?

From what I can gather, a mirror fee is simply a fee for a second dvr?

All this talk about lease fee just being another name for mirror fee is getting me confused.

According to Directv's website, the lease fee for a dvr only applies for your second dvr. So if you only have one, there will be no lease fee?

 

[BFG]

correct. The mirror fee/lease fee. Is charged for each additional receiver you have beyond the first

 

[Seabow]

Cool. That's not so bad then. Maybe in a year or so the price of an HD DVR will drop to 200 and that won't be bad at all.

 

[dragon002]

it probably will, IMHO

The Mirror fee

So what is being said? Is the mirror fee for a second DVR or is it for ant additional receiver? I own two receivers and one DvR. I get bashed with 2 mirror fees. It's not a lease, it is a crap charge. They told me its because I am making the system work. I told them, since i own the transponder and that is doing all the work, why are they charging me for it? IT's JUST ANOTHER WAY of SUCKING US DRY.
