What extra charges can I expect going to DishHD?

[scott78945]

I currently lease the 942 and have done so since September. I am looking into getting the 622 for my 51" HDTV. What I currently pay is below. What extra charges can I expect to see on my bill. I have been all over their website and I don't see any extra charges, although I am sure they are there, or even a listing of the HD channels. They just state, 23 HD channels. I will need to resign my contract for 18 more months as I just became a Dish member in Sept 05.

New Monthly Charge(s) 03/30 to 04/29
ADDITIONAL RECEIVER 5.00
DIGITAL HOME ADVANTAGE WITH AMERICA'S TOP 180/LOCALS 54.99
DISH NETWORK DVR SERVICEFEE 5.98
SUPERSTATION PACKAGE KWGN 5.99
DISH HOME PROTECTION 5.99
DISH NETWORK HD PACKAGE 9.99
DHPP CREDIT 7TH MONTH - ADJUSTMENT -5.

I get my $5.99 credit for 18 months on the DHPP but I think I will lose this when I got to DishHD.

Current total comes to $81.95/month.

No you shouldn't loose those credits.

The changes will be the additional receiver will go up to 6.00
DHA w/ AT180/locals will become DHA w/ DishHD Gold/locals for $74.99

the dish network HD package of 9.99 will be dropped from your bill

I thought that I had to sign a new contract to get the credit of $200. Is this not correct? It would be nice if it was but I wasn't under that impression. So I won't really be paying much more than I already am for 5 times the HD channels. Hmmm, sounds like a no brainer...

Yes you'd have to sign a contract, but it shouldn't affect your free DHPP.
