Just got off the phone with Dish and someone who hardly spoke english...but I got the jist of what he said. I still have a 510 and an 811. I have been putting off upgrading but really wanted the 622vip. After hearing I was loosing alot of programming 8-15 if I didn't upgrade (talk about being pushed to upgrade by dish), I took the plunge and called them today.
I told the guy I wanted to get rid of the 510 and 811 and wanted a 622vip and asked what he could do for me. Suprise suprise he said $149 upfront, $50 rebate (you know the rest). I was hoping for some better deal since I am getting rid of both of my current receivers, but oh well. So I took the plunge and gave him CC info and have a install date this monday (7-16) in the afternoon. I am happy about how quick!
The guy said that I will need a dish upgrade too which is included. I currently have a 61.5 dish and a superdish. What dish will I be getting to replace these? I live north of Milwaukee WI if that helps. And why do I need a new dish? Overall, my bill is going up $6. I am keeping the same programming as before, getting rid of a second receiver and only going to have the 622, so why would my bill be more then before?
Did I make a good choice? Will I be getting more HD now? Oh and does the 622 have NBR? cuz I never did get that on my 510 that they promised forever!
I am sorry for how long this is and all the questions, but thank you all very much in advance!

and he of course doesn't have a date as too when. Good to hear that NBR on it! I did have VOOM and HD package prior. New Dish HD is $20, $5 more then what I was paying. Getting rid of 2nd receiver minus $5 so now even, but he said there is a $6 lease fee now, so over all my bill goes up $6??? Why is there now a lease fee? I thought that the first receiver even if it is a dual is included in the programming cost, or am I wrong?
