Question from an E* Customer

Ok, maybe when it comes to JUST OTA. But in general, there are many differences in features and performance.

Correct but you can say the same thing for both of the receivers. They both have different features that make them better than the other. It all comes down to what features you want. As for performance that is very subjective as I have had very little performance issues with my systems. The only major performance issue is with channel surfing which I don't do. I use the guide to see what is on instead of just changing channels.

To be fair, many people, when OTA is a must, have gotten the AM21 for free from D*.

To also be fair Dish is also now charging for the OTA tuner on their newest boxes. The only difference is Directv is a box and the Dish tuner is a module that you install into the receiver.
 
To be even more fair E* is only charging $155 for a 722k with the OTA module. That can record 3 live programs at once.
Whats D* charging for a HR23? $199-$249?

How much does Dish charge if you already have 4 leased tuners?
 
I pay $21 per month For a 612,622,and 2 -Vip 211ks
Thats 4 receivers with 5 rooms of service, 3 real DVRs and my 211'ks I have the external Hard drive setup for DVR,

I was talking for the hardware not the lease and mirror fees. They charge full price for the hardware unless you can talk a rep or talk to the CEO office to see if you can get them to allow you to lease past the 4 receivers. Isn't full price of the 722K $400+?

If you are a good standing customer, They will lease more then 4 receivers. Its called a 5 Star upgrade. The CSR can tell you whether you quailify. You don't need to talk to CEO. But You must have a Valid Credit card on File , Just incase you cancel service , and decide to keep E* equipment.:)

That is new then. The reason I left Dish for Directv two years ago was because they would not lease a 5th tuner for me. It was also well documented at the time that most people were unable to get more than 4 tuners leased. If they are allowing it now it is pretty smart on their part.

They are allowing , But Not like D* allows. Credit score, Payment History with E* I think plays a role.

If they did this two years ago I may have still been a customer today as Credit score or payment history is not a problem in my case.

And I did not pay anything for 2 HR 20 boxes. Everyone has a different situation:p

Edit: I think I paid shipping on one
