Additional Receiver Charge

[billybill]

I have been thinking of adding an additional HD Receiver. I am already paying the $6 additional tv charge, if I add an HD receiver do I pay a $10 advanced receiver fee in addition to the $6 or in place of?

Every receiver beyond the first one is $6.00. If you have more then one DVR you only pay the DVR fee once.

The advanced receiver fee is for hd service which is for the account, not by the box. As Andrew pointed out, the dvr charge, which is different, is also by the account, not the number of dvrs.

So, the OP is asking about adding an addl. HD Recvr, so he already has HD service, so the $10 HD fee is already taken care of., the only added fee for him would be the $6 recvr fee.

IF the sub has an HD DVR already, he's already paying the DVR fee as well, so any addl dvrs would not add any other fee other than the $6 recvr fee.

Now that this is clear as mud....

If you have questions, feel free to ask, I think everything is covered by Chip and Andrew though.

Is there a $10 charge for HD and another $10 for DVR?

 

[Mr Tony]

$10 fee for DVR regardless of amount of DVR's on account
$10 HD fee (buyt can be waved with auto pay sometimes)
$6 extra receiver fee

Thanks for clearing things up for me.

Don't forget the 2 year commitment. After your initial install, for every new receiver lease it resets your two year commitment.

Similiar question, current setup, genie and 1 client,

Current charges
25 advanced receiver fee(genie)
6 additional tv (client)

Nowhere on the bill is 10for hd that i can see,

Cx wants to add a box with an owned rid and card, r22.

So this would be a dvr, and should get hd since the account has hd equipment.

Will the cx be charged 6 or 10 for the "dvr" since his only receiver is a genie.

The $25 advanced receiver fee includes $10 for hd. If you don't have mrv, which is also in the $25 advanced fee, then they charge separately for hd.

So the answer to my question should be 6$

This has me thinking.........................We have a HR24 and a D12 on our account. I am taking our D12 to the vacation place next week. If I call DTV and have a tech come out to upgrade the D12 to a HD receiver will I have additional charges per month or will I be in trouble for not telling them that I am moving my second receiver for 5 days. I'd like to get another HD receiver (don't really care if it is a DVR) but don't want to pay extra for it. Any thoughts?? Am I describing this well enough?

 

[raoul5788]

The charges will be the same if you exchange the D12 for an hd receiver. You may have to pay an up front charge to get the box, but the monthly charges will be the same.

also any upgrade equipment wise triggers a new contract

O.K. not terribly concerned if I get into another 2 yr contract since we are not going to anyone else. Just wondering if I am asking for trouble if I call up dtv and ask to upgrade my D12 since I will not be at the service address--although there is service at that address. Having said all that, in exchange for another 2 yr commitment is there a chance that they might just give me a new box OR, am I just better to buy one (new) from a dealer and activate it online??

Thanks!!

 

[raoul5788]

If you are going to be at your vacation house, they won't bring the new receiver there. Why not wait until you are back home and get the new hd receiver then? Unless you want it right away, you might as well wait.

 

[Rebel Racing]

Makes sence........I can wait a bit.

Thanks!!

If your equipment is considered "customer ownded" and not "leased" then there is no commitment. You may need to pay 20 for a new access card ontop of the fee for the box you end up with.

But getting actually Owned equipment is not easy.
99% of the sales, being ebay, craigslist or online vendor are "Leased" even though you are paying for it up front.
