I own all my boxes.....Thats what i do not under stand....i 've had dish for 10 years and always buy the box from local dealers in my county. Same with my parents, they make them pay a monthly fee. It's crazy!
Yeah, that's not right. My box is leased. I migrated from a large backyard dish to DISH Network back in July 1998 and the company I subscribed to with the big dish gave me an incentive to migrate to DISH Network, as they were going out of business, and one of the incentives was a free dish, box, and install. The dish and the install were FREE, but I later found out about the stupid lease fee, which I understand totally, since I leased it from DISH directly as the equipment came from their Denver office.
