Default All American Direct HD

For those of you who cannot get a good OTA signal, there is help but it's not cheap. But if you looked before, it is a little better now.

AAD introduced HD a couple of months ago but at a crazy cost. $35 for all 4 networks from either LA or Chicago.

Now the price per HD city has dropped to $18.99. That's a little better but still kind of high. A-la-carte networks are $4.99 each. There is also additional discounts if you pay for 6 or 12 months at one time.

Be advised that the SD feeds went up at the same time by $2.00 to $14.99.

Here is a link though to get the special 6 month or 12 month deals, you must call on the phone.

Hello,
Thank You for your inquiry.

We would be glad to assist you with an antenna if the HD prices are still out of your price range. Our high power antenna is a Winegard High Definition VHF/UHF HD769. Up to 60 mile range. Since we have just reduced prices on our HD channels I have not heard and do not forsee a drop in the near future. But if you call today I can guarantee the Winegard for under $200.00 after tax, after coax cable, after shipping. Call me today to secure your order. I can be reached at (800)xxx-xxxx extension xxxx. We look forward to your order.


Thank You

Folks:

At the start of your offering HD channels, the prices were crazy. I wanted them but never at that price. I see they just went down a bit. I would still never pay $18.99 for the free OTA networks on one city. I might for 2.

In the mean time, I am investigating the cost of a big OTA antenna that will get me more HD and OTA digital sub-channel offerings instead. I am in a rural area and this seems to be the best way to go for me unless you come up with better offer.

Please tell me your prices went down more soon as once I do the antenna thing, I am done.

xxxxx
Wow how generous they are. If he is talking about the 7698P (the best one of the series), I found it at a much lower price than he is quoting. At todays price no less. Whoop-tee-do!
