DirecTV Triple LNB Offer

[polkatese]

All,
For those who has DirecTV service, there is an upgrade offer in place for a triple LNB Satellite Oval Dish offer in place, for those interested in upgrading to HDTV service. The Dish (I think an OEM version, most likely a Terk) come installed at $65. I checked around the web, and the price range from $99 - $149 for the dish (+ S&H). The only caveat is you have to continue subscribe to DTV for a year, with penalty for early termination.

it's worth it,the dish alone is retail for 124.88.Installed is another 250.00 with 1 location.A swap out would be 99.99 labor.
Hell I would do it myslef and let them mount the damn thing.

Dan,
you've got that right! so, I was pleasantly surprise, it's a saving of at least $100..

Is this through CC or do I call DTV customer care?

Pretty cool stuff as I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a receiver. I really like the new Zenith, forget right now the model, but it does terrestrial and dtv with a built in scaler for low def broadcasts.

Thanks

hbomb,
it is direct thru DTV CSR, call them. The dish cost about $45, + S&H, Sales Tax, come to about $65, including prof standard installation. The zenith you are looking for, is it HD-SAT520? great unit....

[HBombToo]

all the tough stuff is ran just need the dish swapped out. I have spent too much time on skyscrapers and won't climb a ladder anymore! DTV is ggo about that stuff.

I'm glad you think the Zenith is good... any other equipment on your radar?

H is getting Bombed again so be NICE! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sony SAT-HD200, which has the same engine as the Zenith 520. These are the two decent HD receivers out there, imo..

[mantis]

yes they are.
they are all basically the same,just what features do you like????????

[polkatese]

one more thing, panorama mode on the sony is great, since it stretch the screen for 16:9 without making people look wide....

[mantis]

but cut of some of the picture.....you can't win with 4:3 and 16:9 mixing of now...it will be over down the road....I hope:confused:

[polkatese]

Dan, I can live with that, as long as the CNN ticker scroll still showing on the bottom screen....btw, I pull the trigger on LSi7 for the surround back, and left the 9 for my 2 channel....can't wait!

[mantis]

good going Bro,I'm gonna get my Lsi7's on so I can do the test...your Idea of course,I'll let you know how I made out after I pick them up.I just gotta get some time.........

[goingganzo]

just wish i could get high deff cabble i would go dish but need the high speed internet.

[polkatese]

Gonzo,
don't you have DSL provider access locally for your high-speed? I would not ever go back to cable, picture quality difference is night and day! even on non HD....

Update: DTV Triple LNB @ $49.00, S&H @ $14.95 and Tax @ $4.96, professional install is free, one-year service commitment is required or pay $150 early termination fee. I just got mine installed. What a difference!
