Currently I have a purchased 921 and 508 with AT60 + locals + HDpak.


So my monthly costs are currently the following (from memory, not my bill):
$30 - AT60
$5 - locals
$10 - HDpack
$5 - additional reciever fee (for 508)
$6 - DVR fee (921 only since 508 is grandfathered)
------------------
$56 total per month



If I upgrade to the 622 and drop the 508, I'm looking at the following, right?
$50 - Dish Bronze (includes HD enabling fee)
$5 - locals
$0 - additional reciever fee (due to phone line)
$6 - DVR fee
$0 - lease fee (first reciever free with Bronze http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=52829)
------------------
$61 total per month




The lease fee waiving I don't see in the actual agreement http://www.dbstalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5521&d=1143587313
Is it accurate?


Do I have the costs correct? I really don't want any surprises here.


(yes, I know I have to pay $299 to get the upgrade, then get a $200 rebate when they get my 921 in return.)

No one, huh? Well, according to the latest post by Dish_Watcher in the regular forum the $6 lease fee for the first reciever wouldn't appear to be part of the Bronze package, which would indicate a $67 fee. It's too much... I guess I'll just stick to OTA HD and cancel the HD pak (whose $5/month promo cost jsut went to $10.)

And there is a $6.00 per month access fee you will be paying. Like it or not. Don't believe me, call them.........................

Nope - here is what your billwill look like:

If I upgrade to the 622 and drop the 508, I'm looking at the following, right?
$50 - Dish Bronze (includes HD enabling fee)
$5 - locals
$0 - additional reciever fee (921 will be included in Bronze Package)
$12 - DVR fee - you now have two dvrs that will be charged the fee.
$6 - lease fee (fee for 622)
------------------
$73 total per month

If you are ditching the 508 and returning the 921, you will look like this:
$50 - Dish Bronze (includes HD enabling fee)
$5 - locals
$0 - additional reciever fee (with phoneline)
$6 - DVR fee
$6 - lease fee (fee for 622 - an upgraded leased recevier gets charged the lease fee even if it is the only one on the account)

Total $67

I would suggest keeping the 508 active - you won't pay a dvr fee on it, and it will still be included in the programming package.
