Why Did I Know It Would Happen?

All I'm saying is that it seems unreasonable to expect two high-capacity triple-tuner DVRs for free, when the deal is you get one. The fact that you claim to have negotiated an extra one for free is great if it's true, but that's not the deal they advertise.

As to what Dish's business model is, or whether it needs work, I suppose you'd have to work at Dish to know that, wouldn't you?

Many of us have two leased 622's (I do) but we had to wait a year in between getting them which is quite silly I think. They are getting the same amount of money from me regardless of how long I had to wait and they are potentially losing business by not giving out two at a time.
 
well my personal thought on this .. and i know im new to the forums.. but have been a tech for 3 years is.. and i see it daily... why must you whine about the fact that dish doesn't want to "give" you $1000 dollars in equipment... jesus christ.. take the mid ground and give them the faith that if they Give you this $1000 in equipment, for the amazing price of $5 a month that you will be a customer for at least enough time to recoupe $90 dollars of it back...
 
Well, the installer showed up this morning (DISH employee). I told him that I had ordered, and been promised a VIP722 and a VIP622, and wanted to verify that he had that on his WO. He told me that his WO stated a 722 and a 222. So, we called DISH to see what was going on.

The CSR told me that I couldn't have two HD DVRs, unless I bought one of them. I told him that I was told the exact opposite when I placed my order, and I provided the Rep ID of the person who told me so.

He then backpedaled a little, and said that the order in fact said that I would get the 722 and the 222, then be upgraded to the 622 once the installation was complete. Not being born yesterday, I was quick to point out to him that I had no intention of agreeing to an 18 month commitment, with a "promise" of getting upgraded "after installation."

After 5 minutes of being put on hold waiting to talk to a supervisor, he came back and told us that he had gotten a supervisor, and was transferring us. He then put us on hold for another 5 minutes, then we were routed directly into someone's voicemail, whose message we couldn't even understand. I told the installer to hang up, and sent him on his way.

So, I've now written a memo to ceo@echostar.com, and we'll see what they say.

Interesting thing while we were waiting on hold: The installer, who works for DISH, told me that my Comcast HD picture was "the best I've ever seen." :eek:
Sorry but I have a copy of the business rules...Says in plain English that one HD Dvr per customer..per account. Installation includes all receivers on the customer’s plan.

Whover told you that you could get a 722 and a 622 on the same order was mistaken...Or just trying to get you to say yes....This is most unfortunate..
