I bought a new unopened 522 from DSS sales and I got Dish to activate it by emailing ceo@dishnetwork.com. But they are charging me a lease fee...Is that right?????

If you lease the receiver, the lease fee takes the place of the extra receiver fee.
If you own the receiver, there is no lease fee but the extra receiver fee is charged.
At no point should you ever be charged both fees for the same receiver.

thats if you are leasing the new receiver. like if you do the dishin it up promotion, you are leasing that new receiver, even if its your first receiver.

dvr fee = $4.98 510/522/921 receiver
extra rec fee = $4.99 additional outlet access fee or something like that, this is because your 522 probably isnt connected to a phone line. basically thats the same as if you had a 2nd receiver, you would be charged an extra $4.99 to have that receiver active.. as long as you have it connected to a phone line, that fee is waived
lease fee = $5.00 because that receiver, even though you bought it, is probably still registered in dish's system as being leased
so all fees are probably correct, you could call a csr to verify this, but I'm pretty sure they'd confirm thats what the other $4.99 is
So let me make sure I understand.
If you are a new customer and you do the lease plan you do not have to pay any extra recevier fee if all boxes are leased (say they got a 522 and a 322) as long as its plugged into a phone line.
You are charge a $5 per box lease fee only and a $4.95 DVR fee if its a DVR, but not a 2nd recevier fee?

The 721 is a very good receiver. It is one of the best that Dish put out in my opinion. You can move faster in the EPG, dont have to pay the DVR fee or the additional outlet fee. You would save $120 a year by going with this receiver if you cannot hook a phoneline up, or save $60 a year in DVR fees alone.
