Have you seen their latest commercial? Shows a guy watching a crazy action packed movie, pausing it in one room, then watching the rest of the movie in another room. Then they splash $29.99 on the screen. They do say it is a temp offer (12 months). But, there is more to it. The commercial shows two TV's, both high definition flat screens. So, that means the guy has two HD receivers, one of which is a DVR. Also, he must have the "Whole-house" system to share content between receivers. I went to the web site to see what it would cost, during the promo period, to have what they show on the commercial.
$29.99 Choice Programming package with 12 mo discounts
$10.00 HD Access (no HD programming without this little fee)
$7.00 for DVR service (I thought you wanted to pause your movie?)
$3.00 Whole House Service (share content between both receivers)
$6.00 Leased receiver fee (1st one is free!)
________
$55.99 per month.... tisk, tisk.
$90.99 after 12 month promo period (I did tell you it is a two year contract, right?)
PS....
$198 due at checkout to 'buy' your receivers (1 HD DVR and 1 HD)
Now you know... and knowing is half the battle.
