811+4900, What are implications of upgrading the 4900 to 211/411

[ride525]

I currently have a 811 receiver, and 4900, both active.
I subscribe to America's 180, and HD pak for $10.

If I upgrade the 4900 to a 211/411 what are the costs?

And what are the implications, do I have to change my $10 HD pak to one of the metal paks?

Thanks,

Jeff

Yes, it'll be metallic - Gold. IRC, your cost will go up by $10 to cover the new channels, plus they might stick you with a lease fee - be careful.

I was afraid my cost would go up.....I really don't want the extra channels no pay the extra fee.

I own the 811 and the 4900, will they still want to least the 211/411 with me? So will there be some sort contract extension, like 12 months?

Thanks

About $15/month more plus $49 (after rebate) for installation.

Yes. That's $10/month more and the lease fee is about another $5/month more.

Great deal huh?

Is there any contract length that I have to agree to when I trade in my 4900 and "lease" a 211/411?
