Okay I just got my first bill after taking advantage of the 811 to 622 deal.

Previous Setup:
Dish 811
Dish 522 DVR

Top 120
HD Pack
DVR
Extra Reciever Fee

Current Setup:
ViP622 DVR
Dish 522 DVR

The current bill says:

2 - DVR Fees of $5.98 Each
1- $6.00 Lease reciever fee
1- $5.00 Programming Access Fee

I was under the impression that you paid $5.98 DVR fee for all boxes combined??
Also I new about the $6 Lease fee, but I thought since the 522 was an original box that was NOT gotten for the Dishnitup Deal that it would be the reciever that is included in the programming package??

Can anyone help?

To pay 1 DVR fee you need to subscribe to DirecTV.

Nope. Dish is per DVR unless you have Platinum, Direct is per account.

DVR fee is per DVR, not per account.

Your 522 is your Primary receiver and it is included with the package price. The $6 lease fee is for the 622 and that is the same price you would pay for it as an "extra receiver".

The $5 access fee looks to me like you don't have the 622 connected to a phone line. Or DISH thinks it wasn't continuously connected, wasn't connected when the installer phoned, ....
