just ordered pvr upgrade from E*

[navy8ball]

i just ordered the pvr upgrade to two 508 receiver's from E*. i got them for 149.00 each.they will install them on tuesday between 8-12. csr asked me to have 3 foot clearance behind tv for install.i also requested the extra dish for locals and the first csr said i would have to arrange that separately,but when i talked to the second csr she fixed it so they would do it too, but two installers may show up. i tried to save them money by getting it all done at once. i guess their computer wont allow them too many choices. other than that no other hassle. i did try to get the 510 receiver for the upgrade but they said no.

What type of idiot are you asking to pay a PVR fee to DISH you know that is what you get with the DVR-510. I hope you have the extended warranty you will need it.

I don't see where he said anything about ordering a 510, he said a 508 which doesn't have a PVR fee on it.

I don't think he should have been called an idiot but the last sentence says hea sked for a 510.

I wonder what will happen when the 508 stock runs out and a 508 goes bad for someone with the extended warrenty. If they have no 508's, what path can they take. They can't give a sub a 510 and then start charging them a monthly fee. Well they can, but that one sure way to lose customer base. Boy this can get ugly quickly.

Cheers,

It does not matter if E* is still manufacturing new 508's or not, anyone who sends one in for warranty work is going to get a refurbished 508 anyway and not a new one.

I don't think Charlie said that there would never be a fee for the 508,508 or 721. My impression was that he left the door open to charge a fee in the future in the last 5 minutes of the last chat.

I hope I'm not viewed as an idiot either :(

There probably is some language in the warranty that would allow them to replace with a 510 and charge the fee. I would think it could be quite a sticky situation with many subscribers if that happens.

The contract also sez they can just pay you a prorated amount for the remaining value of the 50x. :nono2:

Where do you get off calling anyone an idiot?

This person has made a decision to make a purchase and it sounds like he/she is pleased if not down right excited about this purchase.

Your name calling and negative crap is ridiculous.

MobileBay I think I know a lot more about DISH than Navy8Ball I have earned my lively hood by selling their product for the last 6+ years. This PVR fee is a ripoff of the consumer especially when it is applied to each DVR the customer has.

Watch out folks It looks like a new Deity has arrived. NOT :D

[John Corn]

I agree, no more name calling!!!

Congrats navy8ball, enjoy those PVR's

[Jacob S]

Maybe he didnt know about the DVR fees or thought he could get the 510 without a DVR fee.

[BobMurdoch]

I don't think he should have been called an idiot but the last sentence says hea sked for a 510.

If he has AEP then the fee doesn't affect him and he gets a much bigger hard drive for the same price............

[AppliedAggression]

nice deal, i've had a 508 for almost a year and i haven't had a single problem with it. enjoy.

[Geronimo]

Agreed Bob. My post was a response to another that said that they did not see any mention of the 510. But callinga another poster an idiot because they want something you don't is a low blow.

[pez2002]

Im not gonna show no hate in this thread But good luck with your pvrs

[Jacob S]

You will love the PVR features, it will change the way you watch tv.
