Besides the package you decide to go with (including your premium channels), does Dish Network charge any additional fees (i.e., rental fees for equipment, state/local taxes, etc.)? I spoke to a rep and they told me there are no additional charges per month, so long as I have a double tuner receiver and a phone line connected to the receiver. For those with Dish Network, has this been your experience?

The only additional fee I would suggest on getting is the equipment insurance fee. I think it is like $4 or $5 a month. If you get the DVR package, the DVR may need to be replaced in the future. I have had Dish Network for 3 years and have had to replace the DVR seven (7) times. No joke.

the only other fee could be 5/mth if you do not have a phone line plugged into the receiver on a dual tuner.

YES they charge a LOT of fees.

No phone line? $5
More than ONE SINGLE BOX $7 per box over 1
DVR? $6 per DVR

for us to get dish and get HALF what we used to have with analog cable from comcast (now GUTTED and useless) we would have to pay $21 a month in rental box feels and $24 a month in DVR Fee's and $5 a month for no phone (we have not had a hard line in 5 years)

So for us instead of a good deal at $40 a month its actually $90 a month plus taxes. No thanks. I would rather just not have TV than pay that much money.

NOTE this is even if I STRAIGHT UP buy my own DVR's and Boxes full retail.

Yes they do charge fees, but these fees are usually minimal.

$5 extra if you do not have a phone line connected. This fee is for using satellite bandwidth to download updates, such as the TV Guide, etc.

$5.95 for the use of a DVR, but come on, how much are you willing to pay to be able to record any live TV program, plus have the capability of plugging in an external hard drive to expand your storage capabilities to 1TB, and yes that is 1 Terra Byte, or 1,000 GB of storage with your DVR!

Plus Taxes of course!

Oh yea, I forgot! Most systems, from Dish Network anyway, only have one receiver anyway, so there are not usually any fees associated with extra receivers. For instance, I have a two room system installed and it only uses one receiver. The other room is controlled with a remote that uses an RF Signal to change the channel. Installation is also free from Dish Network, professionally installed for up to 4 rooms.

If you are new customer and goes for buy dish tv then all charges include in price but when you recharge on any package then there is no hidden cost.

All depends some offers include activation and installation for free though you may get additional costs to upgrade to better receivers or additional programming not offered with your package.
