AT&T's Free HD for a year promotion = DishHD?

[smooth28la]

In LA I saw an TV ad from AT&T promoting 'free HD' for a year or $240 value when subscribing to their phone/tv bundled package.

I went on to their website and looks like AT&T has a partnership with DISH.

So how can existing DISHY customer get free HD for a year?

Dish also has a fiber based television service called U-verse. Perhaps the ad was for that service and not the Dish Network service that they resell.

Dish also has a fiber based television service called U-verse.

I think you meant to say AT&T has a television service call u-verse, not Dish.

Depends on where you live. ATT is partnering with Direct here. Same deal.

AT&T has partnerships with Dish in all it's regions except the former BellSouth regions (SouthEastern portion of the country) which it partners with DirecTV. It's also rolling out it's own IPTV called U-Verse.

It is my understanding this deal applies to any of the above mentioned 3 as long as you order it through AT&T.

As with most promotions, this one is likely for new customers only.

Only for new customers. You'll have to cancel Dish Network, wait 6 months and then go with AT&T if you want the promotion.

Just use a different name and or a cell phone number and you will be all set.
