DVR Advantage is $49.99 (Locals included). Add HD for $20. Add Top 250 for $10.
$79.99 sound about right?

There's a $6 DVR fee, too.

Also, does anyone know what happens to the price if you don't want locals?

Just build the plan on the website.

After a little more digging here's what it looks like to me for two receivers. 622 & 322. 1 DVR should be included in the DVR package.

DVR Advant 49.99
HD 20.00
Add rec 5.00
250 + 1 Prem 20.00
Total 94.99

It looks like ya can't get DVR advantage and the top 250 without adding 1 movie premium channel.

I did that but it didn't look right they way they show the charges.

I have 1*622 and 1*211, DVR Advantage, HD, Top 250.


DVR advantage = 49.99
HD = 20.00
Top 250 = 10.00
Addtl Rec fee = 6.00

Total = 85.99

If you have the HD - then all additional movie packs or the upgrade to the 250 are an addtl $10 each.

Not sure if you pay any extra dvr fee for the 322 .. i would guess so.

That's not true. The 250 package is $10 more. I have the DVR Advantage package, locals, and HD. I don't have any movie channels and I pay $79/month. I only have 1 receiver also.

Customer service made it sound like I had to get a movie channel as well in order to get the AT250 with the DVR Advantage pack. That's why I put $20.

Read this from the original DVR Advantage flyer. http://www.satelliteguys.us/attachment.php?attachmentid=14520&d=1170784922
I don't think Dish changed the rules but you never know.

I also have 622 and 211, this is what they are charging me:

DISHDVR ADVANTAGE, YOU SAVED $3.98! 49.99
DISHHD WITH 1 PREMIUM PACKAGE 30.00
LEASED RECEIVER FEE 6.00
LEASED RECEIVER FEE 6.00

Total 91.99 before tax

It looks like they are not charging you for the 211 lease or they are charging me extra for the 211 lease and they should not. Do you own you 211?

Thanks

I only have one leased receiver fee (for the 211) .. I thought the first receiver had no leased receiver fee with it no matter what programming agreement you have ... i've not been paying it if it should be there ... I was under the impression that the first receiver was always included .. then ADDITIONAL receivers (my 211) are charged the fee.

Do you have your 211 as your primary receiver ... that may be why they charge you two receiver fee's (on your 622)

??

It looks to me like you are being incorrectly charged leases for both receivers. The DVR advantage price was supposed to include the lease & DVR fee for one DVR.

I have the same setup as jokeworm and you:
622 & 211 (both leased) w/DVR Advantage, DishHD & AT250.

I am only paying one leased receiver fee.

From my April Dish Bill:

Dishdvr Advantage, You Saved $3.98! 49.99
Leased Receiver Fee 6.00
DishHD with 1 Premium Package 30.00
-------------------------------------------------------------
$85.99

State/Local Tax (Sales/Gross Receipts) .60
------------------------------------------------------------
Total AutoPay on May 10, 2007 $86.59



The 622 is the main receiver on my account, and the 211 is the additional receiver. These receivers were Dish'd Up from my old 721 and 811.

I tried to get this package but they said because I have the 501, it doesn't qualify. Why??? I checked the terms on their site and it does not say about qualifying DVR receivers anywhere. I also can't upgrade because I upgraded to a 211 last July (which is also pretty lame).

 

[Pepper]

my bill for that exact package (DVRAdv+250+HD) on my owned ViP622 is around $80 bux. Add $5 for your additional receiver.

HD counts as the $20 premium in this case.

DishDVR saves $3.98 over AT250+HD+DVRfee pricing.
