How many DVRs?

[igzo99]

Guys...how many DVRs will D* allow me to have in my household? I currently have one STDVR and one HR20...

 

[stone phillips420]

as many as you want as long as all boxes in same residence i had 12 at one time but ive cut it down to 5.
afaik

Once you start getting over 8... they may start to "question" if you are a business or something...

But they allow pretty much an unlimited number of receivers on an account.

that never happened to me with dtv they always respected my business, unlike dish i had 8 dish dvr's and i got audit all the time passed them all then severley downgrade service with dish

but yes that could potentialy happen i guess

 

[igzo99]

What's an audit?

What's an audit?

Well, in this context, it is when Dish Network (not directv), calls you up at home, and makes you read all the receiver IDs off of every receiver on your account, you are not allowed to put them on hold, put the phone down, etc, while getting audited.

DirecTV will take as many $4.99 extra receiver mirror fees as you'll pay them.

I would have switched to Directv but they do not have dual tv outputs on their dual tuner DVR's but I use mine in single user mode anyways with Dish Network's 522/625 receivers. I guess the advantage with Directv in my case would be no additional outlet fees on the second tuner if I do not connect them up to a phone line.

Not to mention the fact ONE DVR fee for ALL DVR's on an account, w/out having to buy an "everything pak"...

YES, that is one of D*'s great things!

It's even better if you have the (no longer offered) lifetime DVR & don't have to pay ANY DVR fees ever...

Does Dish charge DVR fee for each DVR receiver on the account?

You Betcha!!:

 

[paulman182]

No, only one DVR fee for the whole account. The additional DVRs will be at the $4.99 mirroring fee rate.

I guess that E* needs to change their residential agreement on their website which states one DVR fee for each DVR in the residence.

 

[paulman182]

Yes, that's not what the printed agreement says, and not what I'm paying.

What prog package do you have?
And, how many separate DVR boxes do you have on your account?

 

[paulman182]

I have three DVRs and Total Choice Premier. The Total Choice Premier eliminates the initial DVR fee as well.

 

[paulman182]

"Monthly service fee covers every DirecTV DVR in your home."

This quote is from the page that allows new customers to order a DVR free with rebate.

If you go back a few posts, we were talking about E* having the DVR fee per box, NOT D*.
(we ALREADY know D* doesn't charge for every DVR box - THAT was the whole point of this discussion... )

Does Dish charge DVR fee for each DVR receiver on the account?

Note he did NOT say anything about DirecTV when you went in & corrected Jhon69 - which you made sound like YOU had E* & hence why I asked about your prog package...
