Directv
Free Equipment Actually Leased, $5.99 Fee for Second Receiver

Electronics and household app.

I inquired as to whether or not Directv had dual tuner receivers similar to Dish Network. The customer service rep explained that they did, so I said, "So if I got one of those, I wouldn't be charged the $5.99 for the second receiver, right?!" She said yes, I would. So I replied, "So then it's not a charge for the receiver, it's an additional charge for having your service?" The rep replied that if I wanted to consider it that way, I could.

I was shocked that my bill, which should have been $44.99 plus tax, was actually $75 including tax. I find it outrageous that they claim to give you the equipment for free for signing a 1 year agreement with them, when in fact you are actually leasing the equipment. I live in an area where it is impossible to get television reception without cable or satellite, so for them to add all these extra charges is ridiculous!!
