No it does not. The only time replacing a defective reciever will start a new contract is if you are replacing a defective owned receiver with a leased reciever (if you don't have the protection plan). If you have the protection plan the owned reciever gets replaced with an owned reciever and no new contract is required.RunnerFL said:EDIT: Also forgot... Having a leased receiver replaced restarts your 2 years as well.
And there's also no commitment with using Mover's. That's why they want you to upgrade/add when you do Mover's so they can get you for another 2 years."RunnerFL" said:It won't add any more time to your contract. The only things that add time are using mover's connection, adding a new receiver or any other kind of new install.
EDIT: Also forgot... Having a leased receiver replaced restarts your 2 years as well.
Actually, I think that Mover's Connection has recently changed (within the last month or so) and it does come with a 1 year commitment now if you don't get additional recievers, or 2 years if you get additional recievers.The Merg said:And there's also no commitment with using Mover's.

Yes, it does and has every time I've had to replace a leased receiver even though I have the protection plan.Beerstalker said:No it does not.
It was added in error. If done correctly, a replaced leased receiver does not come with a new commitment. This has been the subject of multiple threads.RunnerFL said:Yes, it does and has every time I've had to replace a leased receiver even though I have the protection plan.
Then they are targeting you personally because it never has and never does (well it is not SUPPOSED TO) when replacing any defective leased receiver either with or without PP or any any leased or owned receiver with the protection plan. I've had numerous leased and owned receivers replaced over the years and never got my contract extended and I check after each swap by calling the ACD because the csr's used to make a lot of errors.RunnerFL said:Yes, it does and has every time I've had to replace a leased receiver even though I have the protection plan.
I just had a DVR replaced last week and specifically signed paperwork that stated it would NOT restart my commitment. I have the PP.RunnerFL said:Yes, it does and has every time I've had to replace a leased receiver even though I have the protection plan.

That would be a recent change. So it went from originally a 1 year commitment to nothing back to a 1 year commitment.Beerstalker said:Actually, I think that Mover's Connection has recently changed (within the last month or so) and it does come with a 1 year commitment now if you don't get additional recievers, or 2 years if you get additional recievers.
