Marc's answer
this is true. reason is we already have the 622 on back order due to demand. So if you wait, you'll get the rebate. No rebate offered until then. but some early adopters can't wait so they'll pay the $299 upgrade. So after April 1, you pay $299 then get $200 rebate. That's a good deal for a nearly $800 set top box.
Thanks for asking.
one question was answered - if you do it now you can't apply for the rebate in April.
OK the questions that still need clarity, even with this response.
1. Do you need to return the receiver to get the rebate, if so does it have to be the HD receiver.
2. Eligibility of Lease vs Purchase or both - A major area of confusion.
3. What receive res are eligible, 811, 921, 942 etc., second major area of confusion.
4. What programming package do i need to have, i.e. do i need to be subscribing to HD pak or voom or hd metallic, receiver eligibility may answer this.
5. How long must i have been a subscriber or receiver owner, i.e less than 12 months is ok ?
6. If i lease, assuming eligibility, and i have upgraded in the past 12 months can i do so again here or must i wait for my 12 months.
7. If i lease, assuming eligibility, and i upgrade do i need to wait another 12 months or does this not count.
8. What form will the rebate take - money or credit to account or ppv vouchers or what ?
There may be more but this is my list from all the emails i have seen.
