They are offering a free dvr for only $14.95 s&h. From what I've read on a dbs forum they are older discontinued but refrbished models and this is without any commitment

The're probably just empting the warhouse but for free...........?

If you signin to purchase or upgrade your equipment use the code "DVR4ME" YOU GET THE PACKAGE

They charge a fee for the usage of the DVR, but it sounds like they are offering the equipement for free not the service.

i'd never give them my business. they tried to pull one over on my grandparents. swaped some box for anouther that completly sucks. some how has less channels but yet cost more a month.

when my grandpa tried to cancel the service they simply wouldnt have it, kept charging them even though they sent the boxes back. the final straw was when they demanded their dish back but wouldnt send anyone to get it off the roof. they wanted my grandpa to go up there and get it, this being on a 3 story house if you count the walkin attic. he refused to go up and retrieve the dish but did offer to shoot it down.

he switched back to cable, ive had cable forever id rather pay a little more for cable simply for the coustomer service. as a plus medicom[our local cable guys] paid him 50 bucks for the dish after one of their guys pulled it off the roof
