email from dish for free local hd upgrade.

[DefDude]

got this in an e-mail today, not sure if this means an additional sat dish for 61.5.

I got the email saying I didn't need to do anything but tune in. My locals were just added but i already had 61.5

e-mail says free upgrade, but they dont tell you that you need a 24 month contract to qualify for that free upgrade

 

[DefDude]

no fine print about commitment.

CSR didn't mention additional commitment when she lined up free Dish for me to get 61.5 satellite to pick up HD locals.

I got the email about HD upgrade available, but I already have 61.5 and the HD pack with HD locals. Dish should know what I got, but they obviously don't.

Ummm... the free Dish for the 61.5 satellite didn't happen. The poor installer (very nice guy) got to my house. He said the work-order wasn't specific as to what he was there for. I told him. He called Dish. No go as the local aren't avail. yet. Despite the nice email from DISH that told me they were.

I just got 61.5 for my HD locals today. NO charge and NO commitment. They told me right off the bat it was free when I called.
