Hi, I have been with Dish for several yrs. I pay for Top 250 chs., DVR- 722, HD signal- $10/mo. and insurance.

I saw an ad on TV for Free HD signal for life with 3 mos. of free HBO/Showtime. I am on a month to month and like Dish, but after talking with a rep he said I can only sign up for the promo ONLINE.

I went online to my acct. and clicked on Promos. I could not find this offer anywhere. I am willing to sign another contract & already have autopay and paperless billing.

Does any current subscriber know how to get this promo? I sure can't find it anywhere online @ the Dish site. Thanks all.:confused:
 
I am pretty sure the 3 months free promo requires a new contract.

To get the free HD, just login to your account online and remove HD Platinum.

If I remove Platinum will my programming change? I have the 250 pack.
When I checked on the HD for Life it says my account is already activated.

I don't have P:confused:latinum- just the $10 HD plan that covers what's in my subscription.
 
You should be able to get the HD channels for free if you are not getting the Platinum channels. As for HBO and Showtime free for 3 months, you might be able to get it if you renew a contract. I would go online an start a chat with a rep to see what you can get.

I just talked to a rep. I have Gold HD. She said the HBO/Sho. promo is through her and I was shown how to get HD for life online. They want a 2 yr. or a 1 time $99 payment for HD for life. I also read I will lose HD Theatre by taking HD for life. I don'r really watch that ch. anyway, so I will have the pay chs. in about 15 mins. I'm thinking that paying $99 is better than a 2 yr. contract. The HD would cost me $240 over 2 yrs. Thanks for your feedback.:)

Hi, I called Dish- got a nice rep who gave me HBO/Shotime free for 3 mos. I went to the page in my acct. regarding free HD for life. Only 1 catch- I will lose HD Theatre if I sign up for "Free".

That ch. is in some other HD pkg. so I'm leaving it alone for now. I did like the $99 option vs. 2 yrs. contract for HD For Life. I never cared to be obligated to anyone in any contract. I'm on mo. to mo. & am quite happy with my 722 DVR & programming.:)
 
I have been with Dish for exactly a year to the day. I had Cinemax for a penny and called to cancel it. I asked if i could get HBO/SHO for 3 mo free since I have auto pay & paperless billing. Yes I can... so I got that..just have to ask

don't see anything about a contract, I just asked for it and nothing was said about a contract, I already had auto pay & pb

I've had Cin. for 3 yrs. for 1 cent/yr. for the same promo. They sent me a letter about 6 mos. ago saying the promo ended, but it's still on and I have never been charged for Max. other than the penny.

Does anyone know what Pkg. HD Theatre is in, what chs. are in it, and how much a month it costs? It turns out that I DO watch that ch. & if I go the Free for life route I will lose it.:confused:
 

Possible MonstersHD replacement from Sony
