Yup it does unfortunately.
Basically they haven't made back the money to pay for the new equipment they just gave you when you did the Dish'n' it Up program.

A week? Man thats a long time to wait. 
Isn't it funny how long a week takes when you want new toys?

DEFINITELY!! by the way i did have to call back twice to get a csr that would even acknowledge that i could even get the 922 without paying full retail. 
by the way i did have to call back twice to get a csr that would even acknowledge that i could even get the 922 without paying full retail. I just ordered one via live chat - $200 plus $15 installation fee. Installer will be out tomorrow. No increase in monthly charges.
$17 a mont is also what a 622/722 costs. The only real increased cost is the additional $4 for the DVR fee.
does the 922 actually have to be hooked up to High Speed ethernet/internet to function? I have HS internet, but dont have a jack where my current 622 is located. I want the 922 for a number of reasons...better looking guide/graphics...1 TB hard drive, and improved search function, but I dont intend to sling to my PC, nor do I intend to stream from the internet (for now, anyway). I do want to sling to another HD TV in a different room, once that sling 300(?) adapter is available, so I'll eventually hardwire an ethernet port behind my ent. center, I just dont need it now.
Will I encounter issues from E* with a 922 that's not continuously connected via ethernet (kinda like we used to encounter for not being continuously connected to a phone line)?

:haha
Actually, with the ViP922 & sling technology, you can have HD on two TVs.
Looking forward to the remote-less ViP1022T with telepathic interface?
Sounds like you had a 722 and a 612 perhaps? The 722 went from being your free receiver to a second receiver and you now pay $17/month for it. You should have already been charged $10/month for the 612. The 922 is now the "free" one on your account. To see only the $4/month difference you will have to drop the 722 and just have the "free" 922 and the $10 612.
After reading again what you said, perhaps you had just a 722 with a $6 DVR fee? Now you have to pay for the 722 and the dvr fee went to $10, so a net increase in the bill of $21.
Just ordered a 922! Ok, Im excited about it...
200 bucks plus 15 install..
Not too bad!
Will be installed tomarow morning 8-12
Hope its as quiet as the 722...
If I get the 922 and just have that receiver and want to stream HD to another TV what would I need? I'm confused.
You would need a piece of tech that is rumored to be released sometime in June...the Sling Receiver 300
