Dish Network is the winner - Finally !!

Hello all,

I went through a lot of pain of doing my research of finding the best option to get cable TV with HD. By the way if you really don't feel like reading just go right at the bottom of the posting for the main deal. One of the most criterias for me are as following :

1) Cheapest Option

2) Optimum Number of Channel

3) I Should get it at my Apartment

4) HD and DVR

Analyzing all of the above, I picked Dish Network. The blue underlined option is what I picked. I picked free HBO and Showtime, which I am going to discontinue after 3 months (hopefully I will remember).

America’s Top 120 Reg. $39.99 Promo for year: $24.99

Options:

---DVR service: $6/mo. One fee now covers all DVRs on the account (instead of one fee per DVR).

---HD & Platinum programming package: $10/mo. This option is for America’s Top packages. PlatinumHD channels are included at no extra charge permanently.

So for me the total came out to be 40.99 for the first 12 month.

Caution : Do not go through a third party, go directly through Dishnetwork. I was hoping to do it through VMC Satellite and it seems like reading through various forums that they most of the times do not have local channels and once you add that it always comes out to what is on dish network website directly.

The other problem is that if you are living in an apartment, you need special installation and usually third party will charge you for that.

Now here is the fun part. I used the following link, which I found after a lot of researching.

1. 75 $ Gift Card (It said its gonna take 6 weeks to get it, Finger crossed) https://customersupport.dishnetwork.com/DishCart/prepPartnersEntrance.do?sales_id=DISHCSR
2. 50$ Credit First Month Using following Dishclub certificate number. (Copy and paste the number in the final order )ClubDISH CERTIFICATE NUMBER: [ VCD0004679191]

See the attached image for more detail.

So thats a total of 125 dollars. So the per month goes down to $ 30.57 per month for 12 months. Another thing for some reason I am actually getting Aap ka Colors for free (Indian Channel)
