I've been a Dish customer for a few years, with SD service. I currently have just one receiver on my account, which is owned, a 721 (I love that receiver by the way)
I will soon, hopefully, be diving into the HD world. I wanted to take advantage of the 622 upgrade promotion, but I have a question as to how that will go on my account. I don't wish to spend the money upfront to own the receiver, so I will lease it.
Are these my options?
If I get the 622 and replace my 721, I will have to pay the $6 lease fee.
If I get the 622 and add it as a second receiver to my 721, I will pay the $6 lease fee as well.
If I get the 622 and the 721 becomes the second receiver on the account, I would pay $6 lease fee, plus a $5 second receiver fee.
I know all of these options will have the DVR fee, too, so I am just ignoring that for simplcity. Although the DVR advantage package sort of hides that a bit, right?
So, did I properly sum up my options? Will dish allow the 622 as a second receiver, therefore bypassing the $5 second receiver fee? I really don't need the 721 hooked up, so it isn't worth $5/month for me to have it, but if it were free, I would certainly have it hooked up.
