I went to Best Buy to get my questions answered. Then I went to the DirecTV web site and signed up. Their web site offered me an extra $5 off per month for a year in addition to the advertised promotion and what Best Buy was offering. The dealer at Best Buy also wanted to charge $20 for delivery. This was free on the web site. After I placed the order, they gave me open dates for installation. When I ordered, the first date was the next business day. I picked an afternoon later that week when it was more convenient. An installer called me on my date, asked if he could come over an hour early and did his thing. All installation was free. No hidden charges.
