Adding a 3rd receiver

[Mr. Kennedy]

As I've mentioned just a few moments ago, I just switched to D* and gave up DVR as I didn't see any need in spending the $199 for an HD one since I don't watch that much television other than what I watch live. However, I just saw a D* DVR receiver going on E-bay for under $40 (it records 35 hour or so) and that would probably be excellent for what I would use it for. The way I understand it, if I buy it off Ebay and connect it to my 3rd TV, all I wind up paying is the DVR fee, correct? No lease fee, right?

That would be an older model SD DVR. You probably could have gotten a 100 hour R15 for free, as a new customer. You wouldn't pay the lease fee, but would pay an "additional receiver" fee in addition to the DVR fee. It's $4.99 for each receiver after the first, no matter what they call it.

Your monthly cost would increase by $5.99 DVR FEE plus $4.99 additional receiver fee(lease fee if you are leasing) same fee different name.
