What are you going to do about the MPEG-4 transition?

I was in this position with D*. Since the cost to upgrade to the MPEG4 equipment was also outrageous along with adding a monstrous dish weighing about 35lbs and no new HD programming added, I made the switch to E* today. So I guess I would have fallen into another category...Take a hike DirecTV, I'm not your customer anymore!
:
I would really like to wait until the Vip222 is available, however, I'm afraid of waiting because i am afraid of not getting a good upgrade install. If I knew for sure that I'd be able to upgrade for around $49, I would wait and trade in one of my 301's and my 811 for the 222.
Looks like E* is doing pretty well at this point.
Think about the results of these two polls thus far.
Most of the respondants feel that they have been taken advantage of by E* with the MPEG-4 transitiion.
Yet, half of the respondants on this poll say they are going to get the new box, either now, or by April 1.
Only one person is leaving.
E* appears to know what they are doing. They know how to upset us, but not enough for us to take any action about it.

Well I voted for planning to do nothing. Which is 100% true, until later when I'll upgrade my 811 to a 211 for $49. Or maybe I'll roll the dice and hold onto it until the bitter end of MPEG-2 and then have them switch me up for free.
I'm not happy about waiting but voted to wait until April for the $200 rebate.
I still have over a year left on my 942 lease commitment. Why should I dump Dish or not upgrade at this point?
When my 18 month commitment to the 622 expires in late 2007, I will re-evaluate my cable and DBS options.

Will be waiting for the time being, and will enjoy my OTA HD instead. Hey just wanted to ask I saw in a post a couple of days ago that someone was saying something about getting the rebate on turning in a leased 522. Is there any truth to that? I apologize for posting this here, I can't seem to locate that post I am referencing. Any help is always appreciated.
