DVR Fee on Owned Equipment

[matthewh]

I was told if you own your DVR receiver out right that the DVR fee would not apply. Apparently thats not true? Seems unfair they charge for something that costs them nothing.

It's true if the receiver you own is a 501, 508 or 721. The fee is waived only if you have America's (almost) Everything Pack. Allowing the DVR to perform its built-in function is no skin off their nose, boosts subscriber retention (or, depending on the model, drives churn), and for that you get to pay them $4.99/mo.

>>>It's true if the receiver you own is a 501, 508 or 721.

So its not waived on those models without the everything pack? What about on the 522 assuming I own it?

I have the 721. I don't have the everything pack, in fact I have 2 below it, No FEES.

I don't know what your point is but if you will read what I wrote (and what you quoted), that's exactly what I said. I'll highlight it for you in case you can't see.

"501, 508, & 721: No DVR fee PERIOD."

It looks like you are disagreeing. By saying that you don't have any fees despite being "2 below it," that makes it looks like you didn't read what I wrote and are contradicting me. No need for cursing. I didn't curse at you.

Chaddux is at it again!

I'm not at anything. It was just a misunderstanding. Normally, when someone posts something redundant, it's because they didn't actually read the thread before posting. I misread his intent and he chose to curse at me. I think we can call it even.

No problem. Anyways, maybe they should do a owned equipment, no fee. Leased - fee, unless everything pack. On all boxes.

That's never going to happen. I think it would be too much of a hit to revenues.
