It is my understanding that, if any part of the equipments price is subsidized by D*, then, yes they do still own it, if you pay full price you can have them add it as owned, no lease fee.

so your saying I "buy" equipment at bestbuy D* owns it? I just lease the equipment I "bought"......Is that what I'm hearing?
If I leave D* I have to give up the said equipment I "bought"?

Yep!! Thats right. Based on D*, the amount you paid at the store is a discounted leased price! So technically because you didn't pay the full price for the equipment its still considered to belong to D*. In other words you made a deposit to lease the equipment for at "least" 2 years. If at anytime during this lease you cancel, you will be charged a prorated amount for programming up to $300 and at least $150 for not returning the equipment. I know this sucks but this is the game D* is playing right now!
