Extra Receiver Charges and $75 Service Calls in Fine Print

Wow, what can one say? Deceptive is the word, to me. They say Direct TV receivers are free for up to four rooms. That is true only to a point: only the first is free, as they are leased receivers. Otherwise it is $4.95 per month for all of those extra receivers. If all four are not used for different channels, I would imagine that one or two might do, with the other cables having simple multiple connectors.
Also beware of the service calls. If you do not sign up for their $5.99 per month service plan, a service call costs $75 a pop. They situated my dish where I did not want it, saying it was not a problem. A tree limb grew and blocked the signal. It was a simple snip of the limb and they were gone in about 5 minutes. There is no arguing; they will just cut off your service.
I got 10 people not to subscribe to Direct TV because of their fine print. If you subscribe, beware of all of the fine print. This goes for their bonus offers for signing up too, as I had problems with that.
Reception is good, but other products out there are also good.
