Hi all,

I just got a postcard today from DISH describing the free Enhanced HD Adapter (a 49.95 value) FREE with your paid annual subscription of 95.88 to Discovery HD Theater. It says the offer will end soon and then says the the 8/15/02 is the day the offer ends.

I suspect they will extend the offer though.

Also they charge you the 95.88 for the annual subscription when you sign up, but they will give you a 7.99 credit since it takes a few days for the adapter to get to you. You may have to ask for the credit though. They gave it to me.

Make it a 1 year commitment (not prepaid) and I'll bite.

I read over at AVS Forum that the 8psk rollout may be around Christmas time this year but Dish will need to upgrade ALL 6000 users prior to the switchover, so hang in there, we may get a free module out of this deal after all.

No way - people who paid for it (or were arm twisted into paying) would scream bloody murder.

Their best strategy is to roll out all NEW HD programming in 8PSK so more and more people by. Only at some point in the future do they migrate the rest (well after merger).

Let them scream, that's the price for being on the bleeding edge. If I could afford it I would buy one now but I can't so I won't. I'm HD on a VW budget.
