Is this off-lease and ONLY requires activation with dishnetwork?

Hi the answer to your question is no there is still a 7 $ monthly charge and there is no activation charge but if you own your equipment the is no commitment requirement. I hope this helps you.

I can only say it does not work with Dish Network, I have not tried it with any other provider. To me it was a complete waste of money, and I suggest spending a little more to get a better system. You get what you pay, and sometimes not even that.

You have to pay the service fee no matter who you buy it from. I purchased the unit because the dish units they install are not necessarily new and I went through 4 units from them, with varying results before I finally decided to buy my own equipment. I wanted to make sure I received a new one, with a warranty I could control.I purchased the units (Hopper w/Sling and Super Joey) from Amazon because they were brand new, and I paid less for both units than I would have paid Dish for just the Hopper w/Sling.

I don't use dish network but it does catch HD channels without having a cable box, which Turner Broadcasting says is required, but it's not. That's the best info I have. It works great, otherwise. Only one con, each time you turn it on, instead of going directly to TV, it goes to DVD and you always have to change the mode. That's a pain.

This should work but I am not sure if you can access this function without the DISH subscription as you would have to first scan in the OTA channels. Good luck!!

Yes. I had Dish until recently. I used a splitter so I didn't have to pay for an extra receiver. Basically, my treadmill TV was a mirror TV to one of the ones in another room. You couldn't watch 2 different shows on them, but for us that was not a problem.

It depends on if the receiver is leased out or not. If it is under a lease to another customer then no u can't use it. just call directv and give then the number on the back of receiver and they will tell u if its useable .

Do not need to activate, there is no after cost. Cable plugs in to modem, and then you use an RJ45 cable to connect to your modem via the yellow port on the router. everything should be covered in quick setup guide.

You need to have dish network service. This Joey needs a Hopper from Dish to work

A Dish Supervisor explained that the charges are structured to receivers. The first is free and subsequent receivers carry a monthly charge. The charge is considered as an access charge and not equipment rental. In other words, there is no apparent advantage to purchasing my own vip-722k. I made this purchase based on something that I apparently misunderstood when talking with a Dish representative 2 years ago.

This is a pain with Dish. With that being said, I had to find a Dish Network dish that was already set up on a satellite, some say you can go to a local dealer, I don't know about that. Then I had to set it up with an active internet connection, after that point it was able to update the receiver and worked. If you hold down the * (star key) you can bypass the initial setup screen. Do a google search for "dish network bypass setup screen", you will find some good info. Good luck, hope this helps..

The bill is the same, the advantage is that you don't have a contract you can cancel any time !! You have to call to Flex tv of Dish

As far as I know you have to have a Verizon plan. If you do then you can activate it on line or by calling Verizon.

Yes, as long you're using an activated receiver on your account it will work. Just mount and install, then align the dish and if its properly aligned it will see your channels.

No, that's the whole point of this device, it is independent from your PC (except if you want to pay for and add PlayOn, but that's a different discussion). After you do your initial setup (some channels may each require a code to be activated, others don't need one at all), your PC doesn't even have to be turned on. But you _will_ need a wireless router, if you don't have one already.
