Just Signed Up

[elam]

I just signed up with the 1/2 off for the first year, lifetime HD and a free HD receiver. When I saw the 2 year commitment I almost canceled. I wanted to be sure I did it the right way first.

- I only have one TV right now so I don't need whole house.
- I have Dish now and I don't really use the PVR much so I didn't pay the $100 to get the PVR reciever.
- Is it the H24 reciever that I should ask for?

Does anyone recommend I do it differently if I may want to add a TV in the future. I really don't want to commit for another 2 years every time I change something. Any other deals to look for? Thanks.

I'd get the DVR.....BELIEVE ME...I was the same way. Oh I dont use the PVR much when I thought about getting D*.
I got a DVR when I ordered and "it changes you"

I'd get the HD DVR right away. If you **think** you might need another receiver in the near future...get it. You're only a new customer once

Yes, definitely get the HD DVR. It's free and even if you don't use it now you will in the future.

 

[elam]

The HD reciever is free OR the DVR is free but the HD DVR is $99. I think I will get it. Is there another offer where it is free? Thanks for the input.

 

[Mr Tony]

Either the HD receiver or the HD DVR is free as the 1st reciever
The 2nd can be the HD receiver and be free too....the 2dn HD DVR becomes 99 bucks

just checked on the D* site

 

[RandallA]

Just select the HD-DVR as the first receiver and it should be free. At least mine was and I also got an HD receiver for free.

 

[elam]

I have the cheapest package (I don't watch many channels) so I would have to pay $99 plus the $7/mo. fee.

 

[Mr Tony]

yeah I see that now. Choice only gives you the HD receiver for free...the HD DVR is $100

I wonder what would happen if you go with Choice + for $5 more for a month to get the HD DVR free then drop down to Choice.

 

[elam]

I thought about that but I bet they charge you. I was going to ask them.

 

[Mr Tony]

I dont think they could. As long as you keep Choice + for a month they cant say anything. You are still within the qualifications by having Choice
