Some friends of mine just bought a HDTV. They asked me about Dish HDTV receivers and how much they cost. I was able to figure out that what they want is either a 622 or 722. They love the DVR capabilites and distribute video to a couple of other rooms in the house on channel 60. However, I'm not sure what the current upgrade offers are anymore. (I also don't trust Dish Network Customer Service because it seems that different people often give different answers--something that I have used to my advantage in the past. )
Do you have any suggestions on how best to move out of a leased 625 and up to a leased 622 or 722? I'm assuming there is some type of one-time upcharge. How much? This will be the only receiver on their account. They subscribe to a pretty basic programming package now and just want to add a few channels like TNT, TBS, CNN, Weather Channel, ESPN, Discovery, etc. in HD for an additional $10 per month.
They also will want to add a 61.5 wing dish since their HD locals are only on that satellite.
How much should they be prepared to fork out?
