Not sure how accurate this will be but from THIS LINK:
Lease Fee will replace Mirroring Fee for Leased equipment @ $4.99. Owners of equipment will pay the mirroring fee still. DTV will not replace owned equipment with leased equipment if replaced through their ERP/Receiver Exchange program.
The new Equipment Prices for Existing Custs to Lease:
Standard IRD: $49 w/1 year commitment
DVR: $99 w/2 year commitment
HD: $99 w/2 year commitment
HD-DVR $499 w/2 year commitment
The New Equipment Prices for Exisiting Custs to Own (will still be an Option):
Standard IRD: $149 w/no commitment
DVR: $249 w/no commitment
HD: Fuzzy on the Price don't want to give false Info w/no commitment
HD-DVR: $749 w/no commitment
(we were told these are the at cost prices so no commitment)
The Really Good news: Who Cares they will send out an equipment recovery kit at no cost when you are done with the equipment for each receiver.
The Really, Really Good News: For leased equipment No more installation Fees.
New cust Equipment is basically the same for Advanced Products, but it is still 4 Rooms Free and the advanced products are eligible for a $100 MIR across the board, only one per account, no matter how may advanced products ordered.
Also, replacement, repairing goes the same for Owned Equipment, Business as usual.
One Last Note: The Lease fee covers replacement of the IRD only, not remote, not access card, dish, wiring, just the Box. The Protection Plan will add in all of that coverge and will be just $5.99 for Standard and Advanced. No More $7.99. Current Custs will be eligible for the $5.99 rate with Advanced products on the account but you must call in to ask for it and if you are in your first year of subscribing to it you will get a 1 yr comitment to the PP at the new rate. Once out of existing 1 yr has passed you can change w/out the commitment at the new rate
