More information about HD Free For Life

From 6/3/2010, new and existing customers can join Dish Network's "HD free for life" program. Currently Dish Network has over 100 HD channels. HD local channels are free to all customers. HD add-on regular price is $10/month. HD Platinum is $10/month.

To participate in the "HD free for life" program, you need to:

- Order AT120 or higher package
- Commit to 24 months service for AT120 (or higher) programming package.
- Sign up paperless bill with auto pay

If you sign up the paperless billing with auto pay , DISH will automatically charge your credit or debit card on the monthly due date for all charges incurred, including monthly programming fees and any other charges that you might incur such as pay-per-view fees, early cancellation / termination fees, equipment fees, and other similar non-recurring charges.  You agree to contact DISH at least 7 days prior to the due date to make any changes to your auto-pay status

If you join the “HD free for life” program, a prorated cancellation fee of $10.00 will be charged to the credit card used to qualify for each month remaining on the HD for life commitment if disconnecting within the commit period. Please note that this 24-month commitment is not the contract for the account. It is only for the "HD free for life". For existing customers, even you no longer have any contract for your Dish Network account, you will sign a new 24-month contract for the "HD free for life". If you are a new customer, you basically will sign two 24-month contracts. One is for Dish Network account, another one is for "HD free for life". If you want to get "HD free for life" but do not want to sign a 24-month contract for this, you can pay $99 activation fee to get the "HD free for life". In this case if you drop the AT120 package anytime, there will be no penalty. You can also pay the regular price of $10 per month to get HD signal without signing any contract.

If a customer who activated under the DHA-24 promotion (which is subject to a $420 prorated cancellation fee) and participated in the “HD Free for Life” offer (which is subject to a $240 prorated cancellation fee) disconnects, what amount of cancellation fee will they be subject to? Answer: The customer would be subject to only the cancellation fee (prorated) that has the greatest amount owed at the time the customer’s account is disconnected.

You are committing to Dish service for 24 months with autopay and E-statement to get HD for Life. If paperless billing is removed you may be charged the full price for HD programming
