Customers may also purchase additional receivers at a price determined by the Retailer. Above are the suggested MSRP’s.

Eligible Programming
Customers will be required to maintain one of the following qualified programming packages when participating in the FlexTV new customer promotional offer:
  • Locals Only
  • Welcome Pack
  • Latino Welcome Pack
  • International Basic Qualified or higher
  • DishFAMILY or higher
  • DishMÉXICO or higher
  • TurboHD Bronze or higher


Eastern Arc
Customers in an Eastern Arc DMA who want to sign up for FlexTV will be required to pay the upgrade charges for MPEG-4 equipment if they are getting HD programming. However, if a customer does not want to subscribe to HD programming they may be set up with MPEG-2 equipment and a Western Arc configuration.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will FlexTV customers be required to return the receivers to DISH Network if they disconnect their service?
A: No. FlexTV is a purchase offer so customers will be able to keep their equipment if they choose to discontinue DISH Network programming.

Q: How much will my customer need to pay prior to activation in order to receive a 625/322 receiver configuration?
A: This customer would be required to pay for all programming, taxes, and other fees (DVR Fee, TV2 Receiver Connection Fee, etc.) to DISH Network prior to the activation of the account. For this equipment
configuration, the customer will also be required to pay a $100 Receiver Upgrade Fee for the 625 and a $149 Receiver Upgrade Fee for the 322. This is in addition to the $149 Activation fee. Remember, the equipment
upgrade and activation fees are paid the Retailer.

Q: Will customers be required to select only MPEG-4 receiver models when in an Eastern Arc DMA if they do not subscribe to HD programming?
A: No. Customers under the FlexTV promotional offer who do not activate with an HD programming package will be installed with a Western Arc equipment configuration.

Q: Can customers who activate under the FlexTV promotion participate in the ClubDISH program?
A: FlexTV customers are ineligible to receive new customer ClubDISH benefits; however, an existing FlexTV customer may refer a new customer to DISH Network and receive the existing customer ClubDISH benefits.

Q: Is there a former customer promotion associated with the FlexTV promotional offer?
A: At this time, there is not a former customer promotion for the FlexTV offer; however, if a former customer does not qualify for DHA/DHA-24 or DHA TOO, they may activate a new account through FlexTV.

Smile Thanks for the info BUT Dishnetwork site is saying nothing???

Hello! Thanks for the information but I just checked out the Dishnetwork site and they say nothing about a "Flex" program? ONLY prepaid still ?
Question #1) If the prepaid systems are going to stop being sold will the prepaid service also disappear??? Will the prepaid customers be left in the dark watching no TV or are they forced to go to the Flex system?
Question #2) How do you qualify for a Flex system? If you already have a "Shell account" established with Dishnetwork (home address and phone number etc) for a pre paid system wouldnt you be qualified already?
Question #3) I live on the border in Michigan to Canada and am American but my wife is Canadian and she has the creditcard in the family seeing her credit is better than mine. Will Dishnetwork still accept her Canadian Creditcard???

Thanks Mike

Receiver Agreement?

Are the Agreements (and prices) for receivers purchased (through you) any different for FlexTV?

Quote:
From your site;

Dish Network Receiver Agreement


  • I certify that I will have my satellite receiver purchased from Sadoun Satellite Sales installed and activated with Dish Network service within 30 days of receipt.

  • I understand that I must activate and maintain in good standing one of the qualifying programming packages for 12 consecutive months.
I think I also saw somewhere that evan though I “purchase” the receiver, it remains the property of Dish, and needs to be returned to them if I don't subscribe to defined packages.

Also, will a FlexTV receiver have to be attached to a phone line?

Thanks,
Scott

Good Questions Scott

Scott! Good questions. Id like the answers to that one too? If dish own the receiver still than why such an expe3nsive purchase price for them? If you have to be hooked upto a phone line then why not subscribe in the regular fashion??? What about those with an RV or Cabin elswhere??? Guess we will have to wait until a moderator gets us the answers?? Thanks Mikil

Hi,

With the FlexTV offer, you own the equipment and don't have to return it once you cancel your subscription.

Thumbs up FlexTV

I purchased DUO322 with the FlexTV plan it was quite and easy. I talk to Sadoun sales and told them I already have a dish and sense I have FTA equipment I already know how to install the system they said no problem and sold me just the reciever with no installation at a discount. It was great.
Thank You

http://www.dishnetwork.com/legal/doc...swf/FlexTV.swf

In looking for FlexTV info on DISH's web site (using Google), I found this link to the Terms and Conditions and nothing else.

In it it says, "must be ordered, installed and activated between and including May 13, 2009 and July 31, 2009."

That's a pretty short time frame from now (7-22-2009). I'm really having trouble understanding Dish's marketing on this. No info at all on the web site and it is almost over.

Dishnetwork package prices for Flex accounts

Sounds very interesting. Do you have any info regarding the type programming available for these accounts and the costs when more than one receiver is used on a single account ?

I already own dish NOW equipment. Since my receiver & dish are applicable for the service, can I just set it up & call for activation?

I have had Flex for 1 month and have never had my DP301, formerly prepaid, attached to a phone line.

Yes, you will need to have the receiver connected to a landline. If you don't a $5 extra charge will apply. If no landline available, $5 still applies.
