    Beware HBO/Showtime 2 for 1 offer

    I'm definitely checking out Silicon Valley. I've heard great things about it! I recorded several movies from the Cinemax preview over the weekend that I've been meaning to get to including The World's End.

    Beware HBO/Showtime 2 for 1 offer

    We were going to burn through Game Of Thrones and watch True Blood this summer. Also Episodes and Penny Dreadful on Showtime. I bit at the HBO discount offer and will likely get most of Boardwalk Empire through early December. Maybe check out Veep, True Detective and Girls. I love me some...

    Beware HBO/Showtime 2 for 1 offer

    They've taken the full price charge off, but won't honor the original offer. They have offered HBO for 6 months at $12.99 a month without me asking for it. Ugh.

    Beware HBO/Showtime 2 for 1 offer

    I logged into my DTV account last week and noticed a 3 month offer for HBO/Showtime for $17.99 a month for three months together. No mention of this being offered only to new customers. Today I received my statement online and was charged $30 for both. I have an email confirmation of the...

    Programming discounts seem a bit tight these days

    I used to get HBO with Dish at half the regular price at least once a year for 3-6 months. Haven't seen anything like that since I've been with DTV (October of 2013).

    Finally got the install yesterday !!!!!

    I switched from Dish last week. We were enticed by a $200 gift card to Sam's Club and some equipment upgrades. So far, so good. Nice PQ. I like the ability to record more and not forgo watching something live. Love the searching functions. Over 2 years we'll only be saving something like...

    1/2 Off HBO/Cinemax six months.

    Just chatted with a CSR online through Dish.com and activated the programming. Thanks for the heads up!

    1/2 Off HBO/Cinemax six months.

    Is this available for all current Dish subs? I just logged in to Dish.com and didn't see it under offers. Can any DIRTs out there clarify?

    If Dish charges $1.99 per network, how much would your programming cost?

    If I could absolutely every channel the family watches with frequency, I'd probably wind up paying $5 more than what I currently pay.

    Cancelling Showtime Half Off For Six Months

    I signed up for this offer and have paid through March. After realizing there weren't any Showtime on-demand or online viewing through Dish or my internet provider, I'm attempting to cut off this part of my subscription after the first month is over. I changed my programming online, but the...

    Thinking about dumping BB@Home

    Let it go. You can always get it back at a later time. I recently dropped BB@Home and took on the HBO 1/2 price for six months. Plus I'm watching HBO Go and a lot of Netflix. Once the HBO offer is up, I'll probably resume disc rental with Netflix.

    Dish/Windstream Subs Offer

    I have a Dish/Windstream bundle in Western New York. A postcard came in the mail from Windstream offering phone, internet and a free Roku player in a $41.99/mo package for one year. I already have phone and internet with Windstream "For Life" for $54/mo and asked a CSR about the package. If I...
