Dish Network
Advertised $19.99 channel package withdrawn then extra fees added

I received two advertisements, one in the mail and one in the post and both were promoting the 100 channels from Dish Network for 19.99. When I called the numbers on the advertisements and gave the code, I was told that the promotional was no longer valid. How can it pulled that quickly? But I was told that I could get a great deal for 44.95. I said that I would take my chances with the FTC and Attorney General. I did get a call from the complaint department and I could get the 19.99 deal but would have to pay an extra $5 for local channels, $5 for the second receivers a month. In addition, I had to have hard wire phone service to plug the system in or it would be another $5 a month. In the end the system would be $29.99 a month, cheaper than cable but with a company that has a sour reputation. I don't like paying the high cable bill but I'm not going from the frying pay to the fire.
