After the recent wireless data tariff war, the U.S. is gearing up to face competition in the satellite TV market.

DISH Network wants to acquire DirecTV customers and is ready to ensure annual savings of $250 to them.

The company, which made headlines, is starting a promotional campaign till April 8 to add more and more satellite TV customers. The campaign will focus on asking DirecTV customers to switch over and save. DISH Network provides satellite TV services to nearly 14.041 million satellite TV customers.

On average, DirecTV customers spend approximately $250 more annually than DISH customers.

James Moorhead, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, said: “With DISH, customers get the same channels, shows and the sports they love, and we save them hundreds in their first year.”

If DISH is not able to save the new customer $250 in their first year, the customer will need to submit their last DirecTV bill for online verification.

Promotional prices will require a 24-month commitment with AutoPay and Paperless Billing, as well as a credit qualification. The offer will not be available in Puerto Rico or USVI.

If the customer’s first year savings are determined to be less than $250 after switching to DISH, the customer will be eligible for a $250 prepaid card after new service activation.
