true, a 2yr committment is required for $9.99 plan, plus read the fine print about dropping down to a lessor plan, some caveats there; for anything less than 2yr plan an activation fee applies ($49 or $99?);
personally, if you're prewired on the inside, I would get a DIY friend or local pro off hours to install the dish and run the cable to the outside demarcation; complete ANT and DPP LNB combos available on the auction sites for $50 or less; brand new online for $60-$70; why contact DN at all unless you really want a sub; instead, for backup there are DN pay as you go options using the bottom end 200/300 receivers for <$100 to start; designed for RVers/campers, so should work from anywhere;
