TV Guide Included w/ Certain Dish Network Subscriptions?

[ComcastOgre]

Hey everybody. I was just curious if anybody else receives the TV Guide magazine as part of their Dish Network subscription. I have never signed up or paid for TV Guide as I would just pay for Dish's magazine since it caters more to the extra channels in the line-up. I don't mind receiving it since it doesn't appear on my bill or anything. It just says my name and then "TVG PART OF YOUR DISH TV ORDER" right below it.

Anybody else receiving this?

No. Did you get your order through a local retailer? I'm not aware that Dish itself is doing this, but if they are, they are probably getting paid for it. I'm betting it is some arrangement with local retailers and not directly through Dish Network.

I get the mag and I never signed up thru a local retailer. I also get the Dish Mag.

Wasn't this part of the TV Guide settlement anounced a couple of months ago? If so, I'd expect it to be happening for most first time subscribers.

I am not a first time customer though. I have been with Dish Network for awhile, and I never went through a local retailer other than the VERY first time I signed up for Dish many years ago. Just wondering because if it is free, TV Guide magazine is gonna be my preference over the $4 a month Dish Magazine.

I get it too. I don't see anything on my bill for it.

In Sept I got a 625 DVR and already had AEP. That's about the time it started showing up.

If anyone knows what's up how 'bout filling us in...

Well, Dish has no idea why we're receiving the TV Guide either.
