These FTA receivers will get less channels every month, due to N3 encryption being implemented in stages. The Nfusion type receivers (that hook up to the internet to download fixes) will probably last longer or have the first fix, if I interpret the chatter correctly.
It could be that they offering these great deals to get rid of the receivers before all the channels get scrambled. How fast this will happen, is anybody's guess. But some of my channels have already gone.
I would also like to warn you that often these systems go down or adjustments have to be made, meaning that there could be extra expenses every time you call them for a problem. Its hard to say without knowing exactly what type of system you will have. But my satellite guy has to come often to fix a variety of problems.
