    It's worse than that, only the first 12 months are at $30/mo, then the price jumps to $60+ a month for the next year. So your average price per month is ~$45 per month for their cheapest package. The only way you can get $30/mo for the whole time is to quit after the first year, then the last year is only $30/mo without any service.

    I'm sick of Directtv. They keep nickeling and diming me to death. Have my OTA antenna up and ready. Now I need an internet box like the roku that will take and OTA input also. One box for internet and locals.

    Just say no to "Pay to watch commercials" TV contracts. It's major waste of money and time...

    Hell Dish is mining email addresses and customers through bogus Blockbuster accounts. They suck too.

    Also, you have to watch your bill like a hawk. I cancelled the NFL Sunday ticket last season when I signed up. Then, without notice, it showed up on my bill and got automatically debited from my account. If I hadn't seen it, I would have paid for channels I never watch.
