Leafing through the Sunday circulars this week, I saw that both Best Buy and Circuit City are offering a free DIRECTV HD system after a $200 mail-in rebate. The satellite provider's HD-DVR from TiVo is $399.99 after the same $200 rebate. This comes on the heels of recent reports that the company will begin offering an equipment lease option sometime in the next few months -- something it has never done before. Although if it is essentially giving away the equipment now, why the need for a lease?
As a side note, the Sony SXRD LCoS-variant are being heavily promoted at both BB and CC. The 50-incher is advertised at $3,499.99 at both stores, although CC has an additional $350 in undefined "savings" on top of that price. BB lists the 60" for $1,000 more than the 50".

In the ST. Louis market, they say the locals will be available over the sat in May. BUT!!!!, you will have to upgrade to a 5lnb dish and a MPEG 4 receiver. The free receiver at CC or BB will not work. This is why it is free!!!!
