why no mirror fee?

[ronfelder]

I had a 510 and a 4700 receivers. Back then I paid a mirror fee on the 4700. Since then i've upgraded my 510 to a 522. Since then i'm still paying a dvr fee. But instead of a mirroring fee i'm just paying a lease fee for the 522. Still using the 4700. Why no mirroring fee, but instead just the lease fee?

lease fee replaces the mirror fee, you don't get charged both

just another way they screw those of us who own our equipment.

Well i'm actually breaking even. I thought i'd be paying an additional $5.

If Dish applied their fees equitably you would be paying more because you lease.

If customer (A) purchases a second receiver he gets charged a mirror fee, if customer (B) leases a second receiver he pays a lease fee but NOT a mirror fee. Doesn't quite seem fair does it?

Then where does someone like me fall in? I own one and lease another.

Does not matter, you pay the same as if both receivers are owned or both were leased. The only advantage to owning all of your receivers are that you can sell them or give them away when you no longer need them instead of having to send them back to E*, or if you want to drop your basic package and just go "a la carte" with Internationale's only or Superstations only etc, you can if you own all of your receivers, if you lease one or more of your receivers you are required to take a basic package, DF, AT60, DL, GW or higher.
