Thread: Free HD for life.

Hey everyone, I am looking into Direct or Dish, both have the free HD, but I don't want to do autopay. Is there anyway to get the free HD without autopay out of either one?

TIA

I don't think so with Direct. And with Direct only for a new or returning customer is there even an HD for life at all. It does also require a minimum subscription level. For existing customers, they are only giving 2 years of Free HD.

With Dish they did have one way you could and that was by paying a $99 upfront, one-time fee. I don't know if that is available anymore.

Dish is a one time $99 fee

Directv there is a workaround....if you sign up through your Telco (if they offer this) you can bundle it. Directv considers this "auto pay" even though you may not have it through the Telco. Thats how I have it through Qwest (now Centurylink). And unlike when Dish had agreements with Telco's, Directv is just a passthrough. You call D* for all issues but billing. Then you call the Telco

I am a returning customer with Directv and I could not get the HD for life. Told me it was for new customers only. They gave it to me free for 1 year only.

dish is Free hd for life ! DTV is Free hd * just like the NFL sunday ticket is now included* DTV used the Free hd for life wording for less then a month.
