Dish network is offering a promotion where if you opt for their “AutoPay” and “Paperless Billing” service options, then they will offer Cinemax (5 channels) for 1 penny/month. I knew this option was in place last year, and I called them up today to see if it was still in effect. Although “officially” this was only till 12/31/2008, they are still giving this promotion. All you got to do is call Dish Network @ (800) 333 DISH [3474], talk to the billing dept. service agent, and mention that you would like to be part of this promotion. That’s it.
Also, caution for any new Dish subscribers. As part of my research, I saw many Dish install advertisement which claim that you can get this promotion only if you go through them . This is not true. This is not a promotion that is ONLY available to new subscribers. You can shop around for the best Dish install deal, and then call yourself to get this promotion.
Another promotion which is also being falsely advertised by many installers, is the 3 free months HBO/Showtime. This is also available for ANYBODY if you extend your commitment for 24 months with Dish.
