Can't be answered because you didn't provide enough information, such as whether receivers will be purchased or leased, whether receivers are HD or not, which if any receivers are DVRs and/or dual-tuner, etc.

My bill only has $0.56 in taxes, all other charges are clearly spelled out on their web site so you should be able to figure this out yourself, once you decide on equipment.

If I remember correctly, I have Top 200 with locals and a HD DVR. It's $68 and change.

My bill is around $156/month, for America's Everything Pack, Platinum HD (I could get this waived if I cared enough to call), two dual-tuner HD DVRs and four single-tuner HD DVRs (they're just 211s, so the fact that they are DVRs doesn't add anything to the bill).

Don't forget to tack on the emotional and structural cost of having a nasty dish bolted to your house, holes drilled through exterior (and sometimes interior) walls and insulation and being forced to use a cable box instead of your television's built in tuner.

I'm one of the few that care, but I will never support satellite companies due to these common denominators in satellite technology and installations. Satellite companies equal property damage and devaluation, especially for landlords.

I talked to dish network they said it does not matter if you buy the receivers there will still be a leasing fee's.....so its really a rip to me..

Top 120 = $29.95 for 12 months, then $39.95+$14-lease and someother stuped fee's that the added i cant remember already i was so pissed!

why should you pay a leasing fee if you own the dang receiver?? scam company!!
