Is the $299 price after the two rebates you indicated? Or did you essentially get a $99 HD Tivo?

How did you manage to get the extra stuff? They would only do the 299 for me. I'm pretty happy with just that, actually, and a free install with a free multiswitch is included, so that's pretty cool. I also heard that these were refurbs, but that isn't a problem for me either since I will swap this for a MPEG-4 box when the time comes.suncom3 said:
No the 299 is the starting price,then add the rebates and credits to that,Im not sure if its a refurb or not,who cares,they come with 1 yr warrenty anyway,the mpg4 will be out by then
I just kept pushing for the other discounts I had already been offered on prev calls,he eventually said ok,if you order it right now, alrighty then!!!

I just called and whined about having paid $549 online on Friday (activated the box last Tuesday) and got a $200 credit.
I was told by the retention CSR that the $299 deal was not to be coupled with the rebate. Now, it seems like the CSRs don't have any kind of team meetings or even daily updates of the deals they have available and how they're to be used so I'm sure some of us will get the rebate and the $299 price but sheesh... they really need to get on the same page. And I thought my workplace had poor communication skills.
It seems like I've paid about $60 for my 10-250 if all my credits and programming discounts come through. AND I got it online with a 5 year extended warrenty (though I still haven't read on paper just what that covers)

I just got the $299 deal this morning. Also, I was told they are new units and the $100 rebate does apply. I also received $5 off the HD package for 6 mos and free Showtime for 6 mos. The guy I talked to seemed pretty knowledgeable and knew all about the upcoming mpeg4 and said they would swap out existing receivers when needed. I read alot of post here everyday but usually don't reply to often.
Many thanks for this thread. I had been waiting to get a HD-Tivo and $299 with a $100 rebate is more than enough for me.
Just called retention and they will be sending it out soon.
I saw this thread last night and had called retention and was told the best deal they had was the $599 blah blah blah. I was wondering if this thread was for real so I called again today and sure enough she had to "check" but came back and said "Yep, 299 with a 100 rebate. I'm in.
Love it. Can't wait to record hd football.

BTW - The retention lady said that a 2 year committment was necessary and that it would be pro-rated at $12.50 a month. So if you leave D* 10 months early you have to pay them $125. My biggest complaint about them was that I couldn't record HD and that is solved so I will likely be a long term customer. No problem. She also said that the plan is to add 30-40 new HD channels by November. I can live with that.

Ok. Who and what is retention and what is there number. I called sales at DTV and the only offer they have is 649, with a 100 dollar rebate. So that means 549, not this 299 stuff I'm reading. Just got off the phone at 5:40 EST. So what is this all about before I buy anything. Thanks...suncom3 said:

Update:
Got thru to retention after CS transfered me. I purchased the unit on the DTV website, so I get the rebate. When the receiver gets turned on, I get a 250.00 credit. Since I've been with them from day 1, I also get 20.00 dollars off my Platinum package for 6 months. I also got 3 months off the HD package. Not bad....
