New December Promo includes a Sirius Car Radio

[BFG]

Dish seems to be rolling out some pretty nice promos now.

The latest now includes AT60 with HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime for $19.99 for 3 months plus you get a free sirius car radio

(note I'm not trying to promote them, just pointing it out )

Of course they also have their new policy out there where you only get a $49.99 credit on your first bill if you commit to 18 months of service

Its not a bad deal actually...

Wow where did you get that info? is that only through Dish net direct. Or will retailers be able to offer it? I havent heard a thing.

 

[BFG]

It's in the bottom corner of the dish site and leads you here - http://www.dishtv.com/offer1.jsp

 

[onsiteSat]

Wow yet again Dish is trying to undercut their retailers.

 

[BFG]

Maybe retailers can give away radios, probably should look into it more.

Anyone talking about it on www.dishretailer.com ?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I was just over there and did not see it.

Besides the dealers are not too excited about Sirius, I know quite a few who sold them and still have no been paid yet on them.

 

[dlh1435]

can current subs get in on this deal.I have been looking for satellte radio?

 

[BFG]

for free? hah no. It's called a new customer promo.

 

[SimpleSimon]

I just looked around the E* retailer site for new promo info, business rules, and facts blasts.

Nothing.

 

[Jared Twomey]

the retailer i worked for has been giving satellite radios away with new installs for a while... we are an XM dealer though, so he was giving away the Roady2

Does anyone know if Howard Stern is going to be on Dish or is that not one of the channells they will offer. I bet Dish would get a lot of subs if they could or would carry Howard 100 on the dish. Also to someone lookign for the sirius radio for free, I got mine for 39.99 plus a 10 dollar mail in rebate, plus a 25 gift card for the store that sold it to me. Thats about as close to free I could find

From what I can tell DishTV is a indpendent reatiler offering this as a perk to entice new subs its not a new promo from Dish Network directly. It looks like they are using decentrix a web tool that many online Dish Network retailers use.

 

[BFG]

No, the DishTV site is run by dish network, it's where all there online orders go through now. They are not a retailer

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

This is correct DishTV IS Dish Network.

 

[onsiteSat]

You're correct, BFG and Scott

Yep, I saw it on their web site the other day. Here's the JPG file to show you guys where you'd see that.

When 411s are supposed to arrive? I'm toying with the idea to commit myself for one year in return some nice installation + some new equipment...

 

[Jahntassa]

So what, it's only a new radio and no service? Well that kinda sucks..
