Pay As You Go Questions

If that's the new policy and you never used the lifetime option then you will no longer be able to do so.
I just checked the Winegard website and it confirms what is posted above. The new service plans start at $44.95/month and includes HD programming.
Dish PAYG
Free HD requires a 24 month contract plus auto pay paperless billing.

Geez, I hope current accounts might be "grandfathered" in. I signed up for PAYG over a year ago, but never bothered to do the HD option--now I'm out of luck? Oh me oh my!!

Regarding the service, it really is handy, and to suspend it all you have to do is not pay your bill--I've tested this by forgetting to pay my bill.

Whether or not it's worth it is depending on If your hooked on cable/satellite only shows or sports

3. Is HD included in the Pay As You Go option for a Mobile Account?? I keep getting conflicting information, is the $100 HD for Life onetime charge still being offered as an option with a Pay As You Go account.

It is not included. I saw $99 one time lifetime fee for PAYG customers.

Thanks

I checked with Dish CS a few minutes ago, and the "HD For Life" $99 option is no longer available for PAYG accounts. It's only offered as a free option with a 24 month contract at this time. The only HD option is a $10/month add-on. Bummer...

Bill.Satellite,
I have direct at home but we are talking about canceling and going back to TW cable.
IS this DISH "pay as you go" a good way to keep my satellite TV viewing when we out on the road. I understand the up front charges, Just wondering if its worth all the hassle and just go with over the air signal while we out and about?
Thanks,

I currently have a Pay As You Go account with DISH (inactive) and have a couple of questions that the DISH people won't/can't answer unless I activate my account.

1. I currently have 1 receiver on my account, if I add a second receiver is there an additional monthly charge per receiver??

Yes. Each additional receiver on an account costs $7/month.Yes. Each additional receiver on an account costs $7/month.

2. I know there is a onetime $40 charge for adding a hard drive to a receiver. Is there an additional $40 charge if I want to add a second hard drive to a second receiver?? Can a hard drive be moved from one receiver to another??

There is a one time charge PER ACCOUNT for the DVR setup. I have not done it but I have read that you can use multiple drives on one receiver but I don't believe you can move them between different receivers. Someone will need to clarify that.

3. Is HD included in the Pay As You Go option for a Mobile Account?? I keep getting conflicting information, is the $100 HD for Life onetime charge still being offered as an option with a Pay As You Go account.
