Some reviews have stated that even if you purchase the 722K, DishNetwork will still charge you a lease rate, is this correct?

A Dish Supervisor explained that the charges are structured to receivers. The first is free and subsequent receivers carry a monthly charge. The charge is considered as an access charge and not equipment rental. In other words, there is no apparent advantage to purchasing my own vip-722k. I made this purchase based on something that I apparently misunderstood when talking with a Dish representative 2 years ago.

After talking to Dish Network this is my understanding. The first receiver charge is included in your package and you do not receive any credit for owning the receiver. Any savings will come from opting out of the maintenance program. I also found out that Dish has my 722K listed as a lease unit and I am having to provide proof of purchase that I own it. I believe that Dish is not being fair to customers that buy their equipment since the first receiver charge is hidden as part of the cost of your particular package and they represent it as being free.

No sir. This is Dish Network. 2 major competitors are highly unlikely to make their equipment compatible with eachother.

Yes you need to subscribe to DISH. But you can do the monthly pay as you go plan. It is easy to turn it on and off as you need, no contract. If you are a traveler you just need to call them when you get to a new place. We love it!

No problem. I upgraded my dish net receiver to one of the newer dvr receivers and keep the old original dish reciever which I put in my motorhome and I use the winegard GM 1518 for the motor home. Everything works great and is easy to use. You will have to pay net about $7 a month to use the 2nd reciever in the motorhome. When you move about in the motorhome to different geographic locations you will need to call DISH NETWORK and advise them of your new location (address and zip code) to get local stations there--this is a free service and takes just of few minutes.

a 612 is designed for only one tv. You would need a 722 receiver for two tvs. If you have any technical questions about activation or installation dish network will be happy to help you. I would call 800.333.3474 for assistance. ps I recently purchased the 612 receiver and I love it

Well that depends on where you purchase, if you purchase from an authorized dealer then yes it does, but if you purchase used from previous owner than you would have to read their listings of included items. Majority of times they don't or are missing something. But When Dish Network tech comes out they should have remote, if not just contact dish & let them know your remotes do not work. Easy work around.

No. They will only be able to cancel the first rate & you'll have to pay the complete amount of the one you actually want. Go with the $40 plan. As long as you have wifi at home it'll be perfect...other wise you'll wish u paid at least $40

I bought it on Dec 5th and have not yet received the credit. I sent an email to customer service today and they responded saying I was eligible for the $100 Dish Network $100 promotion instead of hte Amazon one. I just responded to them correcting them. Hopefully we will get the credit soon.

I don't think so. According to the description, the receiver says it is compatible with current Dish subscription.

Yes. I had Dish until recently. I used a splitter so I didn't have to pay for an extra receiver. Basically, my treadmill TV was a mirror TV to one of the ones in another room. You couldn't watch 2 different shows on them, but for us that was not a problem.

I think that you as a new customer could get a good rate, it would be the terrible increase once your "promotion" ends. And since they do a two year contract and your rate rises after a year you would be forced to pay a large increase in the second year or pay the early termination fee (they get your credit card number up front prior to installation and won't install without it). As an aside, I have Comcast for my home phone and internet and don't really use the home phone any more but know when I drop the "bundle" my internet will rise and I will end up paying almost the same amount. I called to cancel my home phone and the customer service representative gave me a $25 discount for the next six months with no commitment from me to extend my contract in any way. I would try just calling and talking to them about it and say you are thinking of moving to someone else and see if they will just give you a discount to keep you. I think the tv service is superior with Dish Network & Directv but you can't beat the Comcast price and the selections available with the on demand features. I house sit for someone with Comcast and could watch the on demand for days and not be bored - far superior to Dish or Directv's selections.

Yes. I purchased a used one for $8.50. I couldn't be more pleased. I had to call Time W to get it online. The wifi is still a little iffy at this time. I decided to continue using my Belkin wifi router. I had been renting a docsis2 fromTW and struggled to get 20m even though I had been paying for 30m. Now I get 35m on ethernet and 20+ wifi. I think I have been renting for 6-10$/mo.

No, you will own the receiver. DirectTV will charge you $5/month for usage on top of your monthly bill

Yes indeed, it worked for me. That's all you need. No more rental fee..... But I would highly recommend for you to get in contact with your local cable company before purchasing this modem.... Just to be on the safe side. Mine has been working for over 2 yrs and the installation took only a few mins over the phone with the cable co. Good Luck.

we get all the channels except local channels, in RV we get all channels and the local channels. At next location, you will get all channels and the new location local channels. My reception is great but dish gave me 7 different #'s to use and finally spent $95. for a tech to set up.

You know I Do Not Have Dish Network. Though this is the heater we have for our Direct TV Dish and it works great. Never lost picture since we installed it. We made a great purchase when we bought this Heater.
