Discount code for CrickLinx

As I wrote earlier, I have both Willow (www.willow.tv) & Cricklinx (www.cricklinx.com) and recommend the TV quality of Cricklinx (I am watching Ind-RSA & the Ashes on a High Definition Stream on a 65" widescreen HD TV, and it looks absolutely spectacular).

For a comparison between the two checkout http://cricketreflections.blogspot.com/2011/01/cricklinx-manna-for-us-cricket-lovers.html, but see below for instructions to sign up and get a discount.

ObDisclaimer: I have no commercial interest in cricklinx.com of any sort.

Step 1: Sign up: go to www.cricklinx.com and sign up (you will have to provide an email).
Step 2: Check out the demo to see if your internet service can handle the standard definition or high definition streams (if it can do both, take the HD -- it is well worth the slight increase).
Step 3: Sign up for a package if you like it -- use the coupon code CRICKETREFLECTIONS to get a 5% discount only for the DAY passes. (Not for the per series -- see below)

You can sign up on a per series basis, or for a fixed time which is a lot cheaper. I originally signed up for Ind-NZ, and liked it so much that I just got the 360-day package for $80 (alas no 5% discount then). This package amazingly covers HD telecasts not only the 3 ongoing series, but also Ind@Eng, Ind@WI, and Ind@Aus, it will also include the World Cup and IPL4 (God help my sleep hours!).  Also includes a couple of other series I think..

ObTruthInAdvertising: I asked cricklinx.com for a discount coupon code; they not only provided the 5% discount code for CRICKETREFLECTIONS, they kindly agreed to extend my current subscription by a month for 10 signups.

ObFinePrint: I provide no guarantee, implied or otherwise, about how long Cricklinx.com would continue to exist.  I am satisfied enough with their service to date to purchase the 360-day pass after using them on a per-series basis for a month (NZ@Ind).  This is strictly Caveat Emptor.  Given that I happily paid over $100 in the past for individual series on much poorer quality, I'm more than satisfied.
