Missing my point, I want the leased 222K to be reassigned to an RV monthly charge of $7/month that can be turned on/off as needed. They refused unless I turn in my leased 222K and purchase a receiver from them. I'll continue to just leave the leased box in my MH and call them when it locks out occasionlly. I just hate paying $14/month (instead of $7) and not be able to stop service in the wintertime. Dish sucks!

You can only have one Dish account if you want to keep the costs down. If you want a home account and an RV account then you are going to have to pay the full $60/month for each account. You will either have a lease fee or an added receiver fee for each receiver on the account. If you want to activate the 222K just call Dish and have them activate the receiver on your current account. There's no need to mention the RV. Now, you can use that receiver anywhere you choose (RV and/or home) and when you are not using that receiver call Dish and let them know you will not need service on that receiver for the next XX months and they will shut it down and charge you nothing during that time. If you use the receiver for even one day in any month it will incur the $7/month fee but otherwise, no fees.

Not correct. Call and ask to talk to a supervisor/RV specialist. They have to do a supervisor override to have a combined RV and home account. I know, I went through HELL. I have a Joey and 2 Hoppers in the S&B, a receiver in the MH and a Tailgator in the summer TT. When I call in to change my location on my RV receiver, I still get the occasional hassle. I tell them to not go there or connect me with a supervisor. Turn the Tailgator and MH receiver on and off several times a year, all on one account with the home. You just have be firm with the low level people.

Dish charges me $7 per month when the RV receivers are on and nothing when off.
