No upgrade for me. I went through DIRT and best they could do was $75 for H3 and $50 for 4k Joey. I agreed to protection plan to avoid $95 tech fee and $50 for the 4k Joey and they wouldn't budge. Started out at $150, $50, $95. I started with Dish in 1998 and stayed till 2011 when I could no longer take the buggy 922. Went to Dtv for 3 years and came back to Dish in 2014. Still under contract till April and have bundled billing with local telco. Perfect credit, 2 recent refer a friend credits, and I asked for a discount in December. I received $15/mo for 6 months not great but better than nothing. I never called in to complain about the Fox blackout or recent local channel blackouts within the last 2 years.
I don't need to spend the money being retired anyhow, but I would think a 2 year commitment would be enough considering the above. Only explanation I got was that they had to adhere to "certain criteria". I was polite and thanked the individual for their help and all the help the DIRT team gives us here at Satellite Guys. They came back with "we can reevaluate your account in a few months if you are still interested". This way I can sit back and let all you guys deal with the "early adopter blues".
