Moving... transfer service or new subscriber?

[slusig]

I've been a long-time lurker, occasional poster here. I'd appreciate any advice people can give me.

I've been a Dish subscriber for over 3 years. I lease a 508 and own an 811. In late January I'll be moving to a house with my brother. The way I see it, I could transfer my service to the new house or I could have my brother sign up as a new subscriber.

What do you think is the best way to do this? I'd like to get a 622 and 211.

If we decided to sign up as a new subscriber, would we still need to wait until February to order?

Any idea when the new equipment will actually be available to be installed? Will they only be taking orders for the 622 on Feb 1 or will it be possible to have it installed around that time.

My gut tells me you should start a new account.

It's just a gut feel, but new customers have ALWAYS gotten a better deal.

Yeah go for the new account but keep your receivers they may be useful for a upgrade later to another 622 or 211
