A sales person representing dishnet called me and so I decided to sign up. I asked her repeatedly if there was an extra charge for the dvr or local channels. The representative said no. It was included in the original price of $42.00 a month with my 49.00 credit card deposit taking care of the first months billing. I was told I would have 180 channels and local tv with dvr included with free encore movie channels and free stars channel for the 1st 3 months. Low and behold, I had only 120 channels, no locals. I called and was told the representative was incorrect, and I would need to pay and extra 5.99 a month for the dvr use and an extra 5.00 a month for local channels. I asked what the monthly charge would be to get what I was originally promised; they said it would be 69.99 a month. A difference of 28.00 a month times 18 months which is ripping me off for a total of 504.00. I am now paying 57.00 a month for 120 channels with now only 1 encore channel instead of the 5 or 6 supposedly provided. Beware, they have many outlets signing you up, and can therefore say, that outlet was mistaken, and you can not receive that service.
