thinking of switching to DirectTV from dish network

[OutHouse]

I want to add satellite to 2 other rooms but dish just wont offer any deal. DirectTV has a great deal of
FREE DVR after an instant rebate if you Order Online
FREE - up to 3 additional standard receivers
FREE Handling and Delivery if you Order Online
FREE Satellite Dish plus standard professional installation Full Offer Details
Plus a free portable DVD player.

Its a shame that dish wont work with me, have been a customer for 6 years. but business is business.

If all that doesn't do it for you there's always the NFL Sunday Ticket arguement! Best one IMO!!! :beer:

Are you high on crack? Cable is more expensive, the signal sucks and their service blows...at least around here anyway.

DirecTV > Cable.

If it is the DirecTV Tivo, I'd say that is a good deal. If it is the new (Moxi) brand
DVR... I have no personal experience, but I wouldn't trade in my Tivo for one.

- FREE - up to 3 additional standard receivers

Keep in mind you will be paying an extra $4.99 for each receiver that you activate,
along with the DVR. (If you don't activate one, you won't get charged for it).

- FREE Handling and Delivery if you Order Online

I ordered from a company in Florida, just after they had a hurricance pass thru,
so it took an extra week for handling and delivery. (This was a couple of years back).

- FREE Satellite Dish plus standard professional installation Full Offer Details

The installation I had was pretty good, just figure out where you want the recievers
to be set up before they start drilling holes in the walls.

- Plus a free portable DVD player.

A good deal if you don't already have a DVD player, or you can set it up with
one of the recievers in a spare room, or just give it to a friend.

Its a shame that dish wont work with me, have been a customer for 6 years. but business is business.

You have outlasted your contract unfortunately. DirecTV (and Dish, and Cable) are
able to make these great offers because they tie you into a one to two year contract
to start up as a new customer. Since you are past the initial use period, they can't
figure out that just being nice to you would go a long way to insure your future loyalty
to the brand and services.

I don't know if you can afford or are interested in HD support yet, but I'd check to
see what offers they have in that area as well (for both companies).
