An installer who installed me told me some info about the new promos for 2008, starting feb 1st. i was asking a lot of questions about the new price increases and he told me a lot and i thought you all should know.
1. no more 18 month contract, now will be 24 months for all commits, upgrades, and for free movers.
2. the free insurance will only be for 9 months, not 12 with a contract.
3. no more free hd for 6 months
4. no more free hbo.max
5. you will get like three credits of 40 dollars with the new dha24, one on the first bill, a second on the 10month bill, and the third on the 20month bill. these will be the only contract discounts. he said if you are late once, then you wont qualify for the following discounts.
6. there will be a new ten dollar hd pack
7. that new rec, the 721 or 712, whatever it is will only count as one tunder for the "leased tuner"policy i think it is. he told me when i ugraded later if i got another hd tv i could get two 612 along with my 722 i just got and still be ok with the leased rules.
8. there will be no more mail in rebates to have to deal with. they are just going to have a low flat upfront price for upgrades.
he siad a few things more, but this was all i could remember. a lot might jsut be rumors he heard he said, but we will see. would be nice if they added tv-one and logo to the line up.
