I have been a customer since 2004 and have 301 receivers with Top 200 (no locals) $49.99 and a 2nd receiver $7.00 = $56.99. If I upgrade to two HD receivers with Top 200, no DVR and no locals will I pay the same amount ($56.99) ? Is there another way I can lower my bill with new equipment for 2 TV's ? Thanks for any help !
Would like to upgrade my 301 receivers (Dish It Up) ?

If you upgrade to a 722/722k to feed 2 tv's, there will be no extra receiver fee of $7. Or, if you get 2 211's, you will still have the $7 fee.
Correct. I think that the OP would have a net decrease of $1, with the $6 dvr fee, unless a tv2 fee is imposed (I still haven't figured that one out).
If you go to one receiver (single or dual tuner) that is included in the package so no extra receiver fee
Here is one thought...will they force you to take a package with locals now since locals are now in each package?

Cheapest route would be to upgrade to a 222 if you don't care to have a DVR. You won't have an extra $7 monthly fee and the upgrade includes the new receiver, dish antenna, and the installation.
I just had a similar situation. I had two owned 301's and one of those died. I am Top 120 without locals (Salisbury, MD DMA). Called about dish'n it up. They told me $50 and a two year commitment for a 222k (I wanted a receiver with an OTA tuner) and a tech had to do the install. I ended up buying my own 211k so I could upgrade it to a DVR. When I added the new receiver I did not have to add locals.
