Transferring service to New address

I called an agent to transfer my service to my new address and was told it would cost me a fee of $199.00. I refuse to pay this amount to move 5 miles away. I'm not sure that my new address can receive signal. The language barrier makes it impossible for me to even see if it does or does not get a direct signal. Help!

That is the standard fee for moving if you don't qualify for a free move, free moves comes after 1 year of continuous service.  Either way a move comes with a 1 year contract.

 

You can try dishpointer.com to see if the new home can get DTV if not then you have a problem as the only way DTV will waive the ECF is by having a tech come out to verify there is no Line of Sight and then closes the work order then you call DTV to cancel your service and to get a tech you have to put in a move order.
