NON HD to New HD Promo

[chastulsa]

I have been paying attention to the Hd promo's for us existing HD customers. Whats the Promo for long time existing customer but never been a HD customer? Same $299 with $200 rebate for the 622? My dad has a 510 lease and is ready for HD.

Existing customer HD upgrades are treated the same as new customer upgrades. $299 upgrade fee to lease the 622, $49 upgrade fee to lease the 211. No rebate unless you turn in an owned 921/942 for a 622. 18 month committment, and of course the higher HD package fees, DVR fees, etc.

I have often wondered about the "Owned" requirement, not much is said about that on the forums. Can you clarify this?

I don't think that is right. I'm almost positive that leased 942s can be turned in for the $200 rebate as well.

Actually, I've been looking back myself, and I've found conflicting info:

I've been listening to see if Dish was qualifying the 921/942 rebate during the last two chats and they never stated that it had to be owned. They said that subs with a 921 or 942 would be eligible for the $200 rebate.

Of course, they never stated that it could be owned or leased either.

I think E* wants to somehow compensate those who ponied-up big $$ to lease their 921s/942s not so long ago hence the upgrade lease deal, to avoid complaints from those customers. If you own a 921/942, you could also turn that one in for the same "deal", but why would you as long as those units are still worth more on the open market, like eBay...!

bhelms -
I tend to agree with you on this one (at least I hope that is the case). Until someone points to something that says differently I'm going with that assumption.
