Lease fee vs. additional receiver fee. What if you have one leased receiver?

[markusian]

As I understood the fee structure, the Lease fee replaces the additional receiver fee if you lease instead of buying.

What if I have one receiver. There is no additional receiver fee if I buy. But will there still be any Lease fees?

The lease fee is the same as the additional receiver fee (in dollars). One doesn't replace the other. If you only have one receiver, and you're leasing it, you pay the lease fee.

If you had two receivers, and owned one, you could replace the receiver you own with a leased receiver. The additional receiver fee would go away, and you would then pay the lease fee. Your monthly bill would stay the same. That's what happened when I replaced my 311 with a leased 811.

You are saying:

One owned 811 + one leased 942 = $10 fee (942 Lease + 942 DVR fees)
and
One leased 942 = $10 fee too (942 Lease + 942 DVR fees)

Right?

Thank you

not any more Under the old plans it was 5 dollars more( included the e* warrenty plan) under the new plan(dha) the warrenty is optional and it costs the same as owning your equipment(first receiver is free)

So if I understood this correctly the only fees that applies to a leased 942 are the PVR Fee and the 2nd Tuner Fee? That is assuming you don't have AEP or a land line. Correct?
