Does Dish still offer Free HD for life?

[Khandurian]

I looked at my programming on the website, but I did not see the option to sign up for it.

Guess I missed out.

Yea they do still offer it.I think the website is screwy again.You might want to contact a Dirt member.

Yes, signup for paperless billing and auto pay.

 

[renegade734]

or pay $99.

I wouldn't let ANY company have unfettered access to my bank account.

Just sayin'.

Kinda voids the FREE part doesn't it?

 

[dare2be]

My credit card is not unfettered access to my bank account. Just saying.

Well free to Dish Network is a bit like the word soon to Dish Network.

However, I think by now the "free" part of the offer applies to me as it has been a while since paying the $99 free fee.

I'm guessing that within the next several years, HD will be the norm.

Kinda like "brought to you in living color" was a big deal when color TV was first starting out.

The next promo might end up being, "Free 3D For Life".

I got HD Free for life when I renewed my contract.

If you send me a PM, I would be happy to check into this for you.

Only 1 catch for new customers that opt to pay the 1 time $99 fee for the free hd for life & no auto pay.
The online bonus discounts require auto pay regardless, so a person is losing $15 per month for 12 months by not doing auto pay. For all potential newbies to dish, this is something to consider when thinking about signing up.

While it may void the free part, you're only paying $99 to have HD for as long as you're subscribed. You'd still have it 20 years from now without paying the monthly subscription fee for HD.

yeah. kind of what I thought after I paid the 99 dollars too. it's been more than a year, so I think it's paid for itself by now.

 

[Scherrman]

I know it's still not a bad deal. 10 months and it's paid off but not having to pay anything is better, unless you REALLY hate autopay and paperless billing.

plus per dish they charge a $180 ETF if you leave during the 2 year contract for FREE HD, plus the normal ETF for the hook up…
