Dish Network subs with AT 150 don't forget your free Cinemax for 6 months.

I will be activating my DirecTV service tonight (dish is installed, some wiring still to go). I have had HBO with cable, which will be cancelled.

Does my activation of HBO as a new satellite subscriber count as "new subscribers only"?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

yep you are a new HBO sub on DirecTV thats all that matters.

If you are a Dish Network sub this is not a great deal though, instead call up and order HBO and ask for 6 months free Cinemax. They will give it to you.

If I order HBO on DirectTV, what is the installation/activation charge (if any)? Also, since adding HBO (my first premium package) is only $12 on DTV, is that all I would get?

TIA,

In the past these promos have worked whether or not you're a new sub. I learned this from folks at anandtech.com and avsforum. All you've got to lose is the cost of a stamp.

I got the $20 HBO/Band of Brothers rebate and the $15 AOL/HBO rebate. But be aware they take several months to process.

I sent the BOB rebate in last August and got the check around Christmas. I sent the AOL rebate in mid-December (same time I got in on the "DirecTV $20 off Platinum for 6 months" deal) and the $15 check arrived this past Tuesday.
