Hello
I, in Miami, just upgraded with HD, and here is the scoop. I got a 622DVR, which required an upfront charge of $179--bamn, to the credit card. Then you can apply for a $50 dish it up rebate, and a $100 credit. The $100 consists of 10, $10 credits to your Dish account. HD programming is $20 on top of your existing programming package, and requires a 2 year commitment (I believe).
I love it!!!
Enjoy,
