Dish pay as you go can be turned off by the day.
You pay for one month and get 30 days. So, you could make that one-month fee last all year. It is much easier to do on-line than calling customer service. To take advantage of this, you have to own your own dish and receiver, and they have to be Dish compatible.
If already a Dish customer at home, it is only $7 per month to activate an extra receiver that you own.
It's true that it's $7 per month for extra receiver if you are already a customer but unless they have changed it, and their web site hasn't changed, if you pay month to month it's for one month. If you want to turn off you just don't pay next invoice. No way to turn on and off during the month to "save" days.
Also if you do use your friends receiver you will have to take it back from time to time to have it download updates.
