wow... I had almost forgotten my elementary school coupon book scam back in 1993.
They hand you a toy flyer and a list of how many books you had to sell to get them.

do you have any idea how much time and suffering 10 year old kids went though?
Nobody wanted to pay $10 for a coupon book.

that left a big gas bill for my mom and a scar on my life trying to earn a super nintendo.

the point im trying to make is it's most likely more effort on your part then it's worth

Hey I can't blame you. $100 for you and $100 for the new customer for posting one little thing on a forum. If I didn't think tv was a huge waste of money I'd take you up on it. That's 2 gallons of high quality 2 stroke oil for a few minutes of your time. If you were getting tv anyway it's a no brainer. $100 bucks is $100. Beats working for it.

DAMNIT...I just got new Direct-TV like 3-wks ago! :shock:

Got the 205+ package with whole house DVR Genie and mini-clients, 4 tvs, and a $150 Best Buy gift card...$58.99 1st year and $70.99 2nd year. Not too shabby from what I've read.

But $100 more off would've been STELLAR! None of the forums I read through said ANYTHING about the referral deal though. Boo, those wh0res!

Tell me how the genie thing works or hooks up are they wireless from the genie to the other 3 TV's or you have to run wires to each one?

How many hrs can you record on the DVR ?

You like any regrets other than the 100 bux off ?

There is one main DVR/receiver unit and 3 mini-clients. Everything is wired with coax. Mini-clients are like the size of a stack of index cards -- pretty small. Not sure how many hours of DVR we can hold. We haven't had it over 25% full yet, and my wife has a ton of Christmas movies and Nick/Disney stuff for our daughter. Best thing I did is pay $75 for them to run a line to my pole barn ($1 per foot). The guy buried the wire and was the one climbing in my rafters running cable -- not me. Including running a new wire to the 2nd story and two on the main floor, the whole setup was done in less than 2-hrs. Nice to have SPEED on in the barn while working on stuff. It creates a nice environment for wrenching on toys.

It was $19.95 for installation (since it wasn't an online order), +$6/mo for each additional receiver greater than 1, +$3/mo "local sports fee", and there's +$10/mo "HD service fee" if you have any HD receivers. A few hidden costs, but not horrible.

Shop around. The prices on DirectTV's website are pretty much it, but someoene (like Best Buy) may be running a deal for new customers. We got that $150 gift card plus $10/mo off for their current promo. Then we got another $10/mo off for auto-billing.

I think I'm safe to disclose this in wirting now...but...at my last house I lived at from 2003 to Nov 2 this year I got FREE CABLE. One day I got a new TV and decided to plug in the coax cable so I could get better reception (it acts like a big antenna). Then a month or so later, I was messing with the tv menu stuff and changed it over from antenna to cable and it started auto-programming. 10-min later I ended up with 140-some channels...FREE...inlcuding HD and SPEED. Then in '08 they came through with HD cable upgrades in the neighborhood, and after they were done I STILL HAD FREE CABLE. It was awesome! And, no, I did not tell the new owners about the "deal". LOL Never had to cheat, steal, or rig any orovider equipment -- it was just there! Seriously!!

Maaaan, these elementary school sales-drive people suck! It's like slavery! I've bought so much PLAIN CRAP off my two nieces. They bait them kids and parents with rewards like "Whoever sells $50 or more gets to be part of the limo ride to Pizza Hut." And who wants their kid to be left out?? And they also give away t-shirts and get-a-star-by-your-name rewards just for sending the email to at least 6 people. Its sick. I just wish they'd sell some decent stuff, not the sub-Lillian-Vernon HSN junk. Usually its crappy overpriced candy, or trinkets that won't last a weekend, etc. It's a total scam that messes with people's hearts and heads.

Right now the Costco deal is best, you can get a 180 dollar Costco card plus you use the 100 friends and family for a total of 280 in rebates.

When I lived at my previous address, I got free cable also!

I was paranoid I would get caught so right before I moved, I disconnected the wire cable at the street connection (which was unlocked) and acted like I never had cable to begin with! I had if for over three years!

Thanks

Went to their website it says 200.00 not 180.00 costco card.

I am not a cosco member can I still buy it off their website?

Have talked to many Sirius xm subscribers who canceled their accounts then received free xm service for years after, they never turned them off.
