Question about canceling contract with Dish

There is a new 2-year contract on most additions. Used to be a one-year add-on but you had to pay upfront money for the additional gear in many cases.

I certainly didn't either time I added. (VIP receivers) All the people who have added Joeys had to start a new contract? Others who have added a VIP 612 or similar had to?

Edit - Granted this is a phone CSR... I asked about adding a receiver to my account (Vip 722) they gave me the additional cost per month (correctly) and I asked if there was any other fee, told them I already had the room wired so no installation. In my case at least the CSR said there is nothing else, I asked is there any contract. She paused a second, then said you have no contract at this time and this will not change that. Do I want a Hopper? They will upgrade me for free with a two year contract... I said no, and I will think about the additional VIP. Perhaps it depends somehow on the customer? She was wrong telling me no contract?

Maybe it's a function of currently being in a new user contract and then adding equipment that extends the contract. Once you've satisfied the original contract then maybe additions do not trigger a new contract. Maybe.

That could be.....
