I am trying to figure out how much 12 months of HD from Dish Network would cost me. I am trying to convince the wife to switch from Time Warner (our deal with them is running out).
I am a new customer, so I need all of the equipment and I want the ViP622. Here is what I have figured:
Activation: 49.99 x 1 = 49.99
DVR : 199.99 x 1 = 199.99
DishHD Gold: 69.99 x 12 = 839.88 (can I get FSN without going to Gold?)
Equipment Fee: 5.98 x 12 = 71.76
---------------
Subtotal: 1161.62
$200 rebate: -200.00
---------------
Total: 961.62
Total per month 80.14 + taxes and fees
My question is, what are the typical "taxes and fees" on a monthly Dish bill (so I can compare to my current Time Warner Cable bill)? If anyone in Texas could comment, I would appreciate it. Also, if anyone can comment on my math, please do so.
It may be a bad fit because we watch little TV besides sports and kids programming. My kids need Noggin, and I need FSN, so I have to go to Gold just to get FSN.
Cheers,
Ed.
