Hi,

I moved to sunnyvale (94087) california and trying to take dish network.

I'm thinking of 2 receivers - One HDDVR and One SD receiver. I belive VIP 722 can take care of it and currently its just $50 one time fee and no recurring monthly fees.

I would be taking Top 100 + BronzeHD + Locals + Internationals. I guess they will instal a Dish 1000 plus antenna. I have a clear view of south sky (i belive south west for northern california?)

I need to have home phone and high speed internet...cant decide between at&t and comcast.

Any advantage with taking At&T and dish combo?


Please advise.

You will have a recurring lease fee, and second tuner fee for a leased ViP722.
I believe it is a total of $11./mo, or close to that.

IMO, there is only a disadvantage in using AT&T over using DISH directly....you cannot deal directly with DISH for any issues, including billing, technical support, etc., everything must go through AT&T.

You would probably save a few dollars (5-10) by bundling your land-line/DSL and DISH through AT&T, but if you have any technical/service related issues, dealing directly with DISH has proven to be the superior choice.

Another thing is that all the homezone HDDVRs that I have seen are 622s instead of 722s which would give you less hard drive space. It also seems thought that new customers that go straight thought E* get the 612 now for free and the 722 cost a $50 upgrade fee.

the second tuner fee gets waived with phone line connected. and as the only receiver on the account, there would be no lease fee. Assuming as a new customer he is signing up under Dish DVR Advantage...no monthly fees for the receiver

Ahh, right...my first 921 had no fees...it's all the added receivers that do

Any experiences with dishstore.net?

They are giving extra $125-150 cash back.

Any catch?

Thanks
