DIRECTV is now offering free HD for life to all new customers. I have noticed existing DIRECTV customers complaining via twitter and DIRECTV is responding with the following:

For a limited time, DIRECTV is offering free HD to existing customers! Call us at (800) 531-5000 to see if you qualify.

I suppose it was only a matter of time, but Kudos to Dish Network to be the first to offer free HD for life. If you sign up for any package. You can get HD programming included for the life of your contract. I wonder if other providers will jump on this bandwagon. What do you think?
