19.99 a month new members?

[dsjk100]

I was under the understanding that the $19.99 with a 1 year contract package being offered in NY was going to be nationwide, however when I have contacted dish they say it is for NY only. Anyone have any information on this.

That was a Summit rumor. It has not been put into effect (yet).

What is the 19.199 deal anyway?

 

[BFG]

Basically it's a $12 credit for a whole year of a programming package for new yorkers I beleive.

Yes, but I think it was only going to be $20/month for 3 months.

Still, it's something.
