When can you order?

[Scott Greczkowski]

A lot of people have been asking me when they can order a new Hopper system...

First the new systems will not be in the DISH Network computers until early morning. I would suggest waiting to order until mid morning so that DISH can iron out any kinks that may pop up in their computer system.

Enjoy!

Just got set up for Saturday was told 100 bucks per Hopper. Can a DIRT member check that to see if it's right?.

Stimpson:

This has been the price that they've been quoting for quite some time for existing customers.

5:00 AM I was able to order mine from DISH. Scheduled this Sunday for the install.

Ive been told twice that I have to buy the hopper for $449... they told me that there is no upgrades available at this time.... on to the next CSR.

Update: On to the "account specialist" who says they are not being released until the week of March 17.... now saying that the upgrade fee should be $99, they just aren't released yet."

 

[John Kotches]

Ah CSR Roulette... Such a lovely game to play early in the morning.

300 for one hopper and a joey and 95 for the tech, Dish is still doing existing customer the wrong way. Guess ill be waiting a wile for this one.

This is what I mean about CSR's not being on the same page as a number of our members here have already ordered from CSR's.

If I was ordering personally I would wait until noon time til all the bugs are worked out with the CSR's.

Just ordered 2 hoppers and 2 Joeys for 185.00 after credit for current equipment. They even wanted to install today, held them off until Saturday. My monthly bill went up 12 buck, part of that is the maint. plan.

 

[John Kotches]

As Scott said, give it a little time -- call back later today. There may be issues with CSR education or with internal site updates that show correct pricing.

Just ordered as a new subscriber... 1 Hopper and a single Joey

odd thing is Dish's web site can't do math very well:


Monthly Charges & Credits 61.99
Taxes 3.92
Total 69.87

Should be $65.xx no?

 

[bimmerbenz]

I used the online chat and was able to get 2 hoppers and 2 joeys for a $200 upgrade fee. I also signed up for the protection plan and the installation is free. No complaints here.

 

[jgags6]

I guess Ill wait!!!

 

[fireproof34]

so far i have been told 395 (300 for hopper and joey) 300 ( 300 for hopper and joey and if i get the protaction plan for 6 buck the will not charge 95 for the tech) and 200 for the hopper and the joey with and turing in my 722k.

I ordered the exact same set up and was told 295.00. How old is the equipment you are getting the credit on?

Well they need to get their story straight... I am being told 300 bucks for a hopper and Joey.

 

[Scherrman]

Just so everyone knows, if you have recently sign up for Dish as a new customer, withing 5-6 months, chances are you will not qualify for a Dish'N It Up. You will have to purchase the equipment. If you are quoted $449 then you probably do not qualify.

That's entirely possibly. $200 for the Hopper and $100 for the Joey.
