Costco has been running a promotion to give $250 in discounts to customers purchasing both a new LCD (must be labeled HD?) and a new subscription to Direct TV satellite service.
What make it potentially a hot deal is that when Costco has an LCD on sale, such as this Westinghouse 26" LCD/HDTV for $279 then the $250 in discounts ($50 instant and $250 m.i.r.) can be used either to pay down the TV to a fraction of the regular price or to cover at least a few months of the DirecTV service.
I have not pulled the trigger on this yet, as the fine print on combining discounts probably needs further checking, and the DirecTV contract of up to 2 years is not attractive for me right now, but still worth a look for those seeking both parts of this deal.
