I called Directv this week and setup an appointment for them to add a fifth receiver in my son's bedroom. The installer was really cool and after meeting me and getting to talking he told me to not go through with the order. He said that he gets paid either way but I should call and complain so I could get upgraded from my current setup, which is called a SlimeLine LNB 3, to a SWM 3. (They call it "Swim") He said that they will do it for free and after they convert me to the Swim system that all my receivers will only need one wire and I would be able to put HD DVR's in every room of my house. I thought it was pretty cool of the tech to save me money and get me the awesome deal.
NOW, on to what could benefit you guys from my recent call. The tech called into Directv to cancel the work order for today but I had to call in myself to get a refund on my credit card. While I was on the phone with Directv the rep. informed me about a promotion that they have going on right now. If you call in right now you can get HBO for 90 days at $1 a month, then after that it will increase to its normal price. The only obligation you have is that you have to keep HBO for 30 days and after that you can cancel anytime. So, the people who haven't ordered HBO yet so they can watch Hard Knocks can now do so for ONE DOLLAR.
