It looks right with the new pricing that took place 2/1 unless you are being charged for your primary receiver or if your primary receiver is not a Duo DVR. I am not saying that I agree with the new receiver pricing.Okay guys, looks like they are screwing me.

Does the AEP not include the DVR fee anymore? Also, my primary receiver is the 322. Should I call and have them move the primary receiver to the 722? Man these fees are gonna make me quit these guys.
Edit: I have 1 322, 2 722's, and 1 622 on my account, just FYI.

Not anymore, the DVR fee is not included with AEP. You should call and ask them to make one of the 722 receivers your primary receiver. You just edited your post, so either a 622 or 722 is your primary receiver and you're NOT getting charged for it.
I just noticed that, but on my account its says that the primary is the 322, but it looks like I'm not being charged for the highest one, like you stated.
Just for info:
Previous bill for same programming:
Total 138.98 before taxes
New bill with same programming after the "credits" get removed:
Total 170.99 before taxes
So a whopping increase of $32.01 for absolutely NOTHING but greed.

The 322 is $14.00 and then you have 2 charges of $17.00 (622 or 722). Since you have 3 duo HD DVR receivers, you're not getting charged for one of them.
BTW, I agree with you that these new prices are nothing but greed.

I'm actually surprised that even though the 322 is listed as my primary that they are not sticking me with 3 17.00 charges. If I had another choice besides Direct, I would be out.
Hi MoJo,
I have a few questions
1). What is included in Bronze HD (what channels)? I think in Platinum HD, there are some 11 channels between 361 & 394 but what are included in Bronze HD
Probably we do not watch most of these channels but I guess one of these 2 is mandatory to keep the HD receivers unless we pay $5 or so.
2). If I opt to replace the ViP222, with a solo non DVR, it will be $ 7 or solo DVR, it will be $10. I think I am out of the contract. Will Dish Network replace it free (labor & equipment) for any such change?
3). My "Classic Bronze 100 with DVR ($44.99)" will change to "AT 120 $39.99 &
DVR Service $ 6.00 in the new bill with a net increase of $1.01 for the same programming. Am I right?
No he has 6 HD Duo DVR's so first one is free and then 2 x $34 and 1 x $17 which is for 5 of them. I don't know why they list it like that.

I hope that I did not miss any channels.
There was an HD Enabling fee at one time for $6/month for those with HD boxes who did not subscribe to any HD; however, I think the fee went away completely.
2.) I am not sure what costs they will want. Solo nonDVRs after the primary reciever are $7/month for each (regardless of HD or SD). Solo DVRs after the primary reciever are $10/month. I am not sure of your primary receiver; the most expensive receiver should be included in the base package price. I know you did not ask, but additional NonDVR Duos are $14/month while additional DVR Duos are $17/month. DVR service for all TVs should now be $6.00/month. Before 2/1, it was $5.98/month (unless you had a discount with locals for $5.00/month). I would check to see if you are out of contract. If so, threatening to cancel may help with them replacing it.
Other than that, I think the Service Plan may help, but that is $6.00/month. I am not sure if you would find that worth it. I am not sure how they will go about the replacement. Honestly, I would just ask. I cannot promise anything about this question. I hope if anyone else knows that they will help answer this question. You may qualify for a Dishin' It Up offer as an existing customer. Like I said, I am not sure, though.3. With the information you provided, you are close. It would actually be a $1.00 more from what you provided.
I hope this information helps you.
I believe that additional 922s will be $21/month each.
I would go with one 922 as the primary receiver as long as the primary receiver stays part of the base package price. Yes, but the DVR fee is $10 instead of $6.I believe that additional 922s will be $21/month each.
Good point. I think that we will stay with what we got. We do not have DVR now because everyone else said they would not know how to use it, and $6 more would not help now with those new receiver fees.
