> I have dishnetwork as well…was told i need to pay $200 for a new receiver and will have to pay $20/mo for HD and $5/mo for DVR…is that what you pay? I think $20/mo for HD is a bit high

i pay the $20 for HD.

io think Direct is around $16 maybe…i heard is “slighly” less.

as fas as the 200 for the new box… if you currently do not have HD, i think you can upgrade for free & get the incentives.

its all BS cause i hate how all the incetives are for “new” customers.  
no matter what the product is, cel phones, TV service, etc… current customers get shafted “new” customer get all the perks

now since i have HD already if i decide to get the HD-DVR i have to pay $149 for equipment upgrade.

but i’d call & see what you can squeeze out of them, tell them you’re considering switching because of HD & maybe they will offer it to you @ a discount trail rate or discount the equipment fee. …they hate loosing customers.

if they don’t budge & if your not in the contract anymore…just switch to Direct so you get all the new customer perks.
