No, they are just not listing all of the fees on that page. As the upgrade cost differs for Plan A, B, and C customers.

Right. The fee for a Joey is $7/month. So, the way it is on the DISH upgrade page is:
Joey 1: Free
Joey 2: $7
Can't mean anything other than that because the Hopper is $99, you don't get the hopper for free.
TV1 has the Hopper on it and that's free if the first one. TV2 requires a Joey and that's $7.
Yes, the first Hopper being the primary receiver on the account is free. Each Joey and a second Hopper, if you get one, all incur $7 monthly fees.
you are paying $6 a month for the DVR fee and $4 a month for the whole home fee. In my book i'd add those up as $10 per month for the first hopper. (They are listing it as free though)
If you have 1 Hopper, it doesn't cost anything extra besides the DVR fee and the Whole House fee, $10.....
I just ordered 2 hoppers and 3 joeys. I really do not need the 3rd joey but was told that the only way to get the 2nd hopper was to have a 3rd joey added. The rep told me his computer would not allow a 2nd hopper added until I added the 5th location. I'll see how it works and if I don't need it I'll wait a few months and return it.
I left dish in December because I could not get HD on a 4th television and attempted to sign up with Direct. When I signed up with Direct they messed up my order and told me I had to have a Samsung television for the HR34 and that ruled them out. I have been waiting for this for several months. I'm glad I did.

that's not true. call back and ask them to delete the third joey. (or message the DIRT team on this forum)
2 hopper, 2 joey is a very typical install.
A third joey is not needed. i upgraded to a 2 Hopper/2 Joey system and wasn't required to get 3 joeys. call back and have them adjust the order.
Can any DIRT members help me through the process of removing a 3rd joey I don't need?
post a reply here in this thread with your issue and they'll send you a private message asking for account information.

I suspect they just won't let you deactivate the Joey. They'd say keep it on, or return the 2nd Hopper and use the Joey.
I'm VERY suspicious now.
No need to worry.... When the installer arrives, tell him/her you do NOT need nor want the 3rd Joey. If they don't install/activate it, you won't be charged for it.
