Dayton, OH | Re: Must sign up for the HD pkg in these 21 locales I'm an existing Dish customer with an MPEG4-capable box today and there is NOTHING "new" that I am missing out on at this point.
Also, word is, when Dish does eventually go all MPEG4, they will replace customer's equipment for free. | |

Fort Wayne, IN | Re: Must sign up for the HD pkg in these 21 locales It's been a while since I had Dish, but do the "lease fee" and the "additional outlet fee" cancel out each outher? It use to be you were charged one or the other, but not both. | |

clubs: | Re: Must sign up for the HD pkg in these 21 locales The lease fee is for the second receiver. The additional outlet fee is also for each additional receiver (a piece of crock if you ask me) but you can avoid that charge by connecting your receivers to either a phone jack or broadband connection. | |

| said by Hall  :... Also, word is, when Dish does eventually go all MPEG4, they will replace customer's equipment for free. admittedly, this was several months ago (over a year?), but I switched from DISH to comcast when:
a) they refused to waive the $300 "fee" for the privilege of renting an HD-DVR
b) they insisted I would have to purchase a new HD rcvr with MPEG4 capability to get any new HD content
maybe they finally saw that requiring a customer to spend several hundred dollars on a rcvr to get their HD programming was a little bit of a turnoff for some customers. | |
