BB@Home stays for me too as that was going to be the 1st cut.:
I might still cut BB@H. What movies channels would I loose if I canceled BB@H? Also, if I upgraded to the new Hopper 2000(?) from my original Hopper, would that extend my contract for another 2 years?

I was thinking more like Dish is trying to ensure that VIP customers will Hop with Dish before the DirectTV Genie is fully out of the bottle.
If they are selling receivers outright then they are not making anything off of them being activated. The only money they are making is the margin on the receiver itself. They must only be relying on quantity sold. It's not too bad of margin though, same as selling a tailgater but with far fewer problems.
I remember the retail on these receivers used to be a bit higher just a year or two ago. Did something change? I heard that retailers are paying less upfront for receivers now.
Hopper 2000 is the original model. The Hopper with Sling is the new one. And if you upgrade through Dish, yes it would extend your contract. If you buy your own from a third party, then no it would not extend your contract.
The discussions regarding new pricing and the termination of annual programming have caused me to look at my programming options again; unfortunately, I can't find a comprehensive list that details all of the associated programming fees and charges, and under what circumstances they're applicable and when they're waived. Is there such a list/resource? I've found some information on the Dish page regarding fees for cancellation and equipment shipping and on-site technician visits, etc., but I'm more interested in details regarding receiver fees, DVR fees, high definition fees, external hard drive activation fees, equipment protection plan fees, etc., etc.
I apologize if this has been asked a million times on the forum, but I didn't turn up anything in my thread searches.

I wonder if a sticky thread would be useful, outlining all the current rates, charges and fees associated with each provider, one in each D and E forum? I'd help maintain it if I knew I could update it without my update capabilities expiring.
Do you know what this rumored new Genie is going to feature over the current Genie?
As I understand it, the new genie has a faster processor which may help to address some of the performance problems.
??? Your not one of kids are you? You sound just like them!
