i currently have had dish network for 4 years and i havent had too many problems with it. i just bought a new 1080p hdtv and a smaller 720p monitor and i was planning on getting the hd service along with dvr.

i have the top 250 so i know its just 10 dollars more for hd. what i wanted to know is are they offering any deals on getting hd and dvr for current customers. i have called and looked online and have found that authorized dealers are offering free hd and dvr upgrades with hbo and starz for 3 months and cinemax for a penny. that sounds good but is there any other fees that i have to pay to set this up and do you guys know of any specials they are running that i can get?
i really only need hd and dvr for one tv but if i can get it for two tvs it would be great.

I am guessing i will pay 10 dollars for hd and 6 dollars for dvr service and thats it. so before i call and set it up i wanted to double check with you guys because dish tends to take forever on the phone!

thanks in advance

The only ones that can upgrade your DISH programming package is you and DISH. You must request the package from them and they send the authorization signal to your equipment. If you want to upgrade the reception equipment call DISH and see what you are eligible for and what the equipment upgrades will cost.

You can save the DVR fee by signing up for DVR Advantage.

i checked online and it looks like i will have to pay 125 dollars for a dvr and 50 for another reciver. i still have to sign a 2 year contract. it doesnt make sense when i can just cancel and order it new and get it for alot cheaper. i will call them up and see if they can do anything.

well i talked to a customer rep and he was helpful but i am a little confused. he said i can get hd dvr with dual tuner for free. he also said that this would just cost me 10 dollars more a month because of hd and thats all. is there no charge for dvr service? or for the reciver per month?

one other things he said he can offer me 2 hd recivers for 50 bucks but no dvr he said its 50 becuase they have to come install a new dish. he said there would be 7 dollar charge for the second per month

cant i just get 1 dvr with dual tuner and 1 hd reciever for 50 bucks or is that not possible?

Unfortunately the deals from authorized dealers are only for new customers, but you still can get Cinemax for 1 cent for a year and HBO and Starz free for three months (and HD Platinum free for three months)
