Free Satellite TV

Free satellite TV: Are they really free?

Nowadays, we see a lot of advertisements for free satellite TV. Well, is it really free? Currently, satellite dish companies are having great deals and free offers mainly to attract new costumers and beat the competition. Sounds too good to be true? It is true in some ways, but there are some requirements and strings that you should be aware of.

A typical promotional deal mainly has three conditions. To get the free offer, you must be a new customer. New customer means a person without any previous history of satellite TV subscription. So if you have subscribed to satellite TV before, you might want to use your wife's name to be eligible for the offer.

Another requirement is that they ask you to use only major credit cards to pay your monthly payments. Credit card information is used by the company to check your history. What most people don't know is that after you use their service for a month, you can simply switch payment method to fit your preference.

Lastly, free satellite TV deals usually come with a contract for a period of one year or more. This is to ensure that the free equipment and installation fees will be eventually paid off through a year commitment. If you already own satellite equipment, then ask for a month-to-month service. They might give you a different type of deal if they don't have to provide you with equipment and installation. They generally offer you the following: new satellite receivers, a free dish, free installation, free shipping, free services, and free premium channels for a short time period. These deals are mostly free after rebates.

So is it really free? Well, only you can be the judge.
