DVR Fee

[FredC]

First, Happy New Year to all. Second, a quick question. I now have the AEP and am thinking about going to the America's 250 package. The CSR just told me I would pay 5.98 x2 for my 625, another 5.98 x2 for my 522, then 5.98 for each of my 510 & 508 DVR receivers. That would be a total of 35.88 in DVR fees!
Did I misunderstand him or is he correct? I thought it woud be 5.98 for the 625, 5.98 for the 522, 5.98 for the 510, and 5.98 for the 508. Thats a total of 23.92. Still a little high, but what can you do.
I'm paying around $105.00 a month and with the increases coming, I wanted to get it down a little. I dropped the DHHP, saves about $6 (big deal) and I can always add it anytime. What do you guys think? Who's right??

Thanks in advance, Fred

There will be one dvr fee for all the receivers EXCEPT for the 508 which doesn't have a DVR fee.

Edit: I meant for each of the receivers except for the 508.

One DVR fee per receiver regardless of number of tuners or outputs.

501, 508 and 721 are exempt. It should cost you around $18.

Thank's guys! I thought he was incorrect!

You might want to look at DVR advantage to save a couple dollars more.

Another fine example of CSR mis-education.

Aren't there additional receiver fees of $5 or $6 on each receiver beyond the first receiver on top of the dvr fees?

Additional/leased receivers fees are $6 for Vip receivers and $5 for all others. There is also additional Tuner fees for most dual tuner receivers if they are not hooked up to either active phone or eithernet lines.
