One of the things I am surprised they did not mention last night was the new price to purchase a 622 (which is $499) nor did they mention the $200 rebate avabilable to folks who purchase their 622 and send back a 942 or 921.
Here are details of the $200 rebate for 942/921 owners directly from Dish Network.
· Existing MPEG-2 HD/DVR customers can PURCHASE a ViP622 DVR and receive a $200 Equipment Return Credit – Effective April 19, 2006, through August 1, 2006
o Effective April 19, 2006, we will have a purchase option available for those customers who have a model 921 or 942 receiver. They will be able to receive a $200 credit off of the $798 purchase price for a ViP622 DVR. The $798 includes standard professional installation.
To get the $200 credit, follow the same process used for DISH’n It Up:
§ Leave the 921/942 with the customer.
§ When calling to disable the 921 or 942, make sure to provide the promotional code: RET200HDSWAP and instruct the Customer Service Representative to select the correct model receiver, either 921 or 942, for replacement.
DISH Network will send an empty box to the customer detailing the return process.
When the 921/942 is received by DISH Network, the customer’s account will be credited $200.
I would love a clarification from Dish on this one. I wonder why it was not mentioned on last nights chat?
