Currently I have a 625 and a 622. Called today and asked about upgrading my 625 to another 622. Was told I could since I have'nt done a Dish it up in the last 12 months. However my bill would go up $5.00 a month because I am leasing the new 622. She said that the 625 did not require the fee because when I first signed up it was part of the promotion and did not carry a fee.
Currently my bill looks like this:
All everything pack: 89.99
DVR service fee: 0.00
Dish HD: 20.00
Leased reciever fee: 6.00
Taxes: .68
Total: 116.67
I just want to know if she was correct and if anyone has two leased 622 recievers what your bill looks like.
Thanks

Leased fee on a 622 should be $6 per month, not $5

Decided to take a different rout:
Bought a 50 ft HDMI cable from monoprice for $64. Going to run it through the attic to the bedroom. 622 is in the family room and will use components and the bedroom will get HDMI. Will keep 625 in bedroom as well.
Will use a 6.3 remote in UHF mode to control 622 from bedroom. Put 622 in IR/UHF mode on tuner 1(HD) in the systems info screen. To get the remote in UHF mode all I had to do was take the key out and move the switch over a click with a toothpick. Tested it and it works great.
The only draw back to this setup is you can not watch different HD channels at the same time in each room. Not a big deal for us since both TVs are rarely in use at the same time.
One last note:
I called Dish again and the current deal to upgrade to a 622 is $149.99 with a $100 rebate that you have to wait 8 to 10 weeks to get. So it basically costs $49.99 for the upgrade. Also you will have to pay $6 a month lease fee.

Careful, I don't think HDMI is suggested for over 25 ft. runs....

22 AWG 50 ft HDMI cable ran and so far working to perfection.
