Showtime half-price

[Sean Jones]

Saw an ad (or should say heard) on Comedy Central for Showtime for half price. I didn't hear the full ad. Went on Dish chat to ask what the promo length is and was told they don't have that promotion. When I said that I just saw an ad for it I was told was it hasn't started yet. When I asked when does it start I was told they can send a notice to my account.

So does anybody know anything about this promotion? You would think if they have it advertised that the csr would at least know when it started...

Csr's are not told of promotions until they start, they won't be able to help you before hand.

You'll be fossil fuel before dish sends you a message about programming to your account.......

You should check with the Dish internet response team (Dirt) they are listed in red in the member list at bottom of the forum.Just Pm one of them,they are much more helpful than call in or chat reps.

Just got off the phone with them. They said I could get the offer and had no idea why the chat guy wouldn't let me. Isn't it sad that all these people aren't on the same page.

When i did a chat yesturday they said the showtime offer didnt exsist and said there was no such ad being run to promote it.

I can't understand why members of satguys don't contact Dirt first.They have a great reputation of getting customers taken care of first try.With phone or chat its hit or miss and mostly miss.

So, you are getting both for $13/mo instead of the normal $26?

 

[navychop]

Of some interest, but if I went for it, I might lose my grandfathered no locals.

 

[TheKrell]

Or the ability to upgrade for $99.

I'm not a show time fan anyway never liked the programming.

no, each channel is half price so its $14.50. $8 for hbo and $6.50 for showtime.

It's still better than the 2-channel package price, though. It's like getting SHO free. I think I'll give it a shot.
