How much is the Hopper upgrade costing you?

Just to try to take the pressure off Zach a bit, here is what he sent me after looking at my account. "Thank. So we don't know exactly what goes into determining if a customer is eligible for a promotion but the things that can go into this are things like history, payment history, programming, monthly rate and previous upgrades. After looking through the account I do see that the information that was provided to you earlier is correct. "
it appears this is an account by account eligibility roll out.

BS
i only have one 722 and contacted DIRT and there is no problem giving me 1 hopper and 1 joey. I only have 1 HDTV and one SD tv.
just be patient as Zach is up to his eyeballs right now
100 fee...new 24 month contract. I love dish so I don't care about the contract, I have been waiting since I decided not to burn my upgrade on the 922, this seems like a way nicer system with way less bugs.
Just ordered 1 Hopper/2 Joeys/ $100 and no install fee. I could've gotten an install on Saturday, but my schedule didn't allow it. I have to wait a whole week until the 22nd!! At least I'll get to see the early results from the weekend installs. If it is a screaming train wreck I have time to cancel.

Very good move on your part.
For everyone that has to purchase the equipment, Dish must have a legitimate reason as to why you do not qualify. In some cases it could be a mistake but most likely there is something that has happened with your account in the past that does not qualify you for upgrading.
Yep, and in my case it must be that I've been on autopay since we started with DISH.

That's likely it.
I suspect there are lots of mistakes in the system that get carried over and affect sub's ratings unfortunately. I'm not ready for the upgrade yet, but I'm curious as to whether I'll even qualify based on what others are saying. Been a Dish sub since 1998 on annual subscription or autopay with my last upgrade in 2008. I'll hop on over to Direct if I need to when the time comes.

Purchase the equipment. If you do the upgrade promotion you have to renew a contract.

As far as I know yes. You can't get any discounts unless you renew a commitment. Seems fair to me.
I'm replacing a 922 and 722K with 1 Hopper and 2 Joeys for $100 and no install (I have the plan ). Install will be Sat PM.
). Install will be Sat PM.
Perhaps without discounts at a higher upfront fee, but I would prefer to lease, not purchase. I wonder if there is a lease option without a contract?
My ViP622 has a failed HDMI. I need to replace it anyway. I would prefer to replace it with a Hopper if possible. I woldn't mind paying some extra for the upgrade and installation.
Kevin R (ID: ORD): You can get two Hopper with two joeys for the low upfront cost of $600 and $ for the technician visit.
XXXXX: no thanks
Kevin R (ID: ORD): You can check back with us in future for new promotions.
Kevin R (ID: ORD): Is there anything else I may assist you with?
XXXXX: Why are others getting it for $200
Kevin R (ID: ORD): We are charging the same price for all the customers.
I guess it's CSR roulette time.

Talk about having serious eligibility issues!
I PM'd Zach this morning before the mad rush to check on my eligibility, and despite just doing a DIU to HD back in August (new 2-year agreement), I can get 1H 2J for the $100 up front cost. I have had AT250 for years...
