I called "D"
as my brother did get a letter, after he had left them last summer. The CSR, validated the payment of the buyout.
I too am a Dish subscriber. However, I do not have a contract. They would offer me 2 am 21's gratis, as well as $100.00 for the extra HD DVR, which is an additional $100.00 savings. I am still pondering the offer, as I have some real reservations about the "D" hd receivers. A lot of negative consumer reports. I think I will wait till the TIVO HD reciever is available. Yes, I know I will be subject to what the installer has on his truck. However, as was mentioned on another post, I will get the phone # of the installer and see if I can't grease the wheels of progress.
By the way, the only reason I am considering this is because of the absence of the MLB network on Dish.
