I'm thinking of switching from TurboHDSilver(DAS) to AT120/200. To help reduce costs, I'm thinking of getting rid of my second tv (SDTV) since I rarely use it. Will this save me the TV2 connection fee of 5 bucks? Will I get to keep the 722 or do they change the receiver if you only have one tv?

I don't think that dish cares if you have 1 TV or 25. The 722 can be put into single mode and you can use the PIP function on your one TV.

There is no extra charge for using TV2 on your 722. If you had a 2nd receiver you would get charged for that, but Dish does not charge for the 2nd tuner on any of it's Duo-receivers . Any extra charges for your 722 are because it is a DVR.
some bills do state 'tv2 connection fee'. depends when you became a customer. but this fee has nothing at all to do with how many tvs you have hooked up. in the past it was waived by plugging in a phone line. recently so many things have changed i dont know anymore.
This thread may help a bit.

You may do an online chat to see if Dish will drop the fee, and if they won't play nice, personally, I'd rid myself of the 722 and get a 211 or a 612.
All of the current and past company changes have most of us confused, but, supposedly, if you didn't have a phone line connected prior to February 1, you will be charged the TV2 fee, even if the phone line is connected. I don't think even Charlie knows.
The TV2 connection fee is still there, right now since Feb everyone was givin a credit even if you have the phone line hooked up or not. Come August you will see that credit disappear and your bill will rise to compensate the TV2 connection fee. I plan on raising a little hell when it does to get some sort of promo out of it since I honestly think its a crock of crap that they are doing that.

I have always had a phone line hooked up so I never paid the $5.00. For the longest my bill showed a TV2 connection fee and then a credit, so it was a wash. On Feb 1, when the lease fees changed the TV 2 connection fee was no longer a separate charge, I guess you could say it is part of the new fees. Anyway I have, like many others who had the phone line plugged in prior to Feb 1, been continuing to receive the $5.00 TV2 credit. I understand that it will go away this summer, so yes the bill will go up $5.00 but there should not be an additional charge just no credit.
