Just got an EFlash From DirecTV that Free HD For Life begins June 5th.. From what I can read it's new customers only. Auto Bill Pay required. Seems to be not quite as good as Dish Plan to me..
Yep! Starts june 5th.

I wonder if a simple call to DirecTV will get you free HD. I have been getting a $10 credit applied to my account for HD Access but, that will end soon.
I have an old Total Choice package so I'm sure IF they allow existing subs to get in on the deal they would require them to upgrade to one of the new packages.

So far there is no mention of allowing existing subs to get this.. NEW customers only

1) Its not a rumor anymore... 2) We dont have time to sit on this one since it happens tomorrow. With a lot of Dish Rumors we have days or weeks to give folks the heads up.
I don't know about anybody else but something does not look right with this offer. Since when does Directv have a receiver fee of $17?
edit: Never mind as the PDF below my post shows what it is. They are comparing their $5 fee to the Dish fee.
Its comparing DIRECTV to DISH. DIRECTV's stuff is on the left, while DISH Networks stuff is on the right.
Things didnt copy over correctly from the PDF I was sent in pasting it to the board.

Seems pretty crappy to me. I'm a 10+ years existing customer so I have to pay $10/month for HD and $5 more/month for HD extra or whatever it's called and new customers will get it free for life ?
I can deal with new customers getting deals on equipment but to offer free HD for life to new customers and make the existing customers keep on paying for it sucks !!

Somehow I suspect the uproar over not giving this to existing customers when Dish is giving it to theirs will cause DirecTV to rethink that little issue
