HD Free For Life Returns!

I read on this site a while back that the profit margin on programming was 60% for Dish Network but that might have been gross.

If that's true, then Dish should update their website. They still have their old SD receivers (322, 512, 625, etc...) listed on their receivers page. http://www.dish.com/technology/receivers-dvrs/

Those receivers are still eligible for installs but any retailer is going to install HD only equipment. If a retailer had older receivers they could still use them on installs in order to get rid of inventory. Customers can still purchase these receivers and activate them as well so the SD models are still relevant.

I don't know who would use them on a new install. They typically get used when people want to purchase equipment or if they don't qualify for the free promotions. The SD receivers are cheaper so people go that route to keep costs down.
 
Plus, as I mentioned earlier, a PIA customer on a WA install, only qualifies for one leased Sd nondvr. Anything more than that can result in extra fees. And the retailer may sell them to RV customers that just need something quick and easy. I see the 311 going easier then the 625 for those two cases.
 
Item 3...So if one is an SD customer, they are NOT eligible for this promotion?
 
I don't have HD. I don't have it because I have never had a contract with Dish. From day one 17 years ago. I purchased my equipment. Installed it myself. All replacement equipment is listed as "owned"...
I suppose I could go with HD. I have an EA 1K.4 sitting in my garage..But only if I don't have to pay for it. If it's extra, I can live without it.
 
I would call dish and get loyalty, and tell them that's all you want. Sure they would oblige.

If you were an SD customer then you would have to upgrade to HD equipment and subscribe to HD programming. At that point you'd have to agree to auto pay and paperless billing to get HD for free.
