DVR Blowout! ???

[Hook]

I was just looking through my Dish Newsletter and the mentioned a DVR Blow Out for existing customers. Anyone have any details on this? I will call for details but wondered if anyone had any insight at to if this is truely a good deal. They do say there is no DVR fee, but don't mention if there would still be the additional reciever fee, or what types of DVRs they are offering.

Looks like they're talking about 501's & 508's. And yes i'm sure there would be an additional box fee.

$199 is what I paid for my 508 in December of 2002. So wheres the deal???

I checked my equip upgrades the other day and I could also lease a 522 for $198. Not that its a good deal or anything, just interesting.

Hmmmm..... would they still waive the fee on those 501/508s?

Waive which fee the extra receiver fee or the DVR fee? I agree though i think that those prices are standard now for refurbed 50xs

[Mark Holtz]

Whoops, my bad. I meant the $5 DVR fee.

The additional outlet fee will still apply - like all other 501/508 dvrs, the dvr fee will not.
