It is three months to return as a returning customer. Never a New customer once you have any account. Promos pretty close to those a new customer would get.

3 months. You sign up returning customer. You get existing offers/ promo as a new customer
Yes, you would have wait 90 days before you would be able to re-qualify as a customer. You would be able to get the new customer offers that we advertise on our website.
So Mary, or anyone else who knows the answer to this, if you leave then return 3+ months later, would any shows you have saved on an external hard drive still work once your account is reactivated?
I am pretty sure the answer is no, because your account was deactivated.

They'll be gone. New account new activation new numbers all around. If you want to keep them drop down to lowest pkg, watch/record like crazy then drop.
The other posters are correct. Once you account is disconnected for 3 month and you resign, you will have a different authorization tag for any external hard drives.
Mary and all, thanks for that info. Fortunately most that I have DVR'd is movies and I can get those again about anytime, either through Blockbuster, Netflix or just record again.
To petesgarden, I have not been here as long as others but in my couple of years here it seems that the best I'm seeing is sometimes they offer free premiums for a few months or maybe $10 off for a year or something. But I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in soon.
The bundle offer Time Warner offered was tempting in itself, but the way I see it right now is this...I can go to TWC for three months or so...save $40 a month during a period of time (Summer) we watch and record much less TV. Then go back to Dish when many of the Hopper issues should be ironed out (including two Hoppers seeing each other and the OTA) and get $30 off per month, which is their current offer, for another 12 months. This move temporarily would save approx. $480 (probably $450 after sending back my two receivers at $15 each). It's quite an appealing option considering I'd only have to be gone three months.

To get the "New User" offers from Dish it requires a two year committment. If you're out of contract now, then I guess you could do it once.
Correct, I have no problem committing to Dish another two years. In fact, I prefer them by far over Time Warner. $450 or so for a three month change is pretty significant though. The TWC deal is no contract, price guaranteed for twelve months. I could be back before football season since they don't have NFL Network or Redzone.
That looks like the best way to get the Hopper/Joey and save the most $$. Although I am considering signing up my wife as a new account (we are moving), and just going straight to the Hopper/Joey. The new house is on TWC, but not sure if I can stand TWC for 3 months. I have RoadRunner, but my rate just went way up, probably switch to Earthlink.
