A few things have to happen first.
1) Your 1 year contract with DirecTV must be up, or almost up.
2) You can't have already recieved your $49 directivo. In other words, you're still scheduled.
Call up direcTV and ask when your 1 year contract is up. Somehow let it slip that you're considering switching to the D*SH network because of their 2HD reciever and 2 DVR reciever for free with 1 year contract plan. It's on VCMs website. They'll then try to keep you as their customer and make you a counter offer.
If you get switched over to their retention department, thats fine. They're there to retain you as a customer.
The best I could get is the rest of my $49 tivo and the 14.99 handling fee credited to my account, But I think in the other big thread about the $49 deal, someone said they got a second tivo for free.
See what you can get.
If you've already recieved your TiVo, then theres nothing you can do. Your bound to their 1 year contract. But if you haven't gotten it installed yet, then you can threaten to cancell and goto D*SH.
Of course, we'd never go away from TiVo, but they don't know that
