I got this postcard in the mail the other day. Given that my Dish Network contract is up next week, I may have to take advantage of this.

--------
Satellite customers, take control & get digital cable with:

• A dual tuner HD DVR
• HDTV for no extra charge
• HBO & HBO on Demand
• A second digital cable box

$39.99 per month for a year!

Dual-tuner HD DVR - record one show while watching another & store up to 60 hours of programs!

Looks like you get the Digital Cable Silver package with HBO and Comcast On Demand.

Other notes in the fine print:

• Offer expires 2/21/05 & is available only to new or former Comcast subscribers in Comcast subscriber areas who current have satellite dish or Qwest Choice TV service.
• Additional digital converter is provided free of charge for 12 months, then the regular rates applies.
• You must transfer all ownership rights of your satellite dish (and related equipment) to Comcast, free of any future claims.
• Comcast will remove the satellite receiver(s) and may not collect the satellite dish.
• To receive HD features and benefits, you need HD equipment ... yada yada yada.
• Monthly HDTV equipment charges, in addition to applicable service charges, apply.
• After 12 months, Comcast DVR service is an additional $9.95 per month per box.

--------

So it looks like it's $39.99/mo, plus taxes and fees, with no additional monthly surcharges for the DVR ($9.95/mo) or HD ($5/mo). Going through Comcast alone would be almost $85/mo with the first month free.

This offer may be targeted to Denver-area subscribers only. "Code: DSH" is just above my address.

I have the Dish 510 DVR receiver and a regular Dish 311 receiver. I wonder if I hide my Dish 510, they'll just take the 311, and I'll sell my 510 later. I love Dish Network, and I would especially miss the Sirius Satellite Radio feeds, but this would cut my TV-viewing bill by almost half.
