Satellite TV providers

I get annoyed at some commercials. The ones that really get to me are the ones that complete against each other. Like ATT and Verizon (see my post below). The newest ones that get to me are from DirecTV and Dish network. Both are satellite TV providers. Each one has different channels packages you can add on or purchase separately to make your TV viewing better. But which one is better? Channels are channels, which company has what channels I'm not going to debate. What matters are all the hidden fees you have to pay; both companies have them, so stop with your bragging. Some of these fees are collectable upon insulation, 6 months, or 12 months later, or when you cancel your service. My information comes from the latest flyers I received in the mail. OK Direct TV is first. The flyer says I can get 150 channels for $29.95 a month, sounds pretty good. BUT that’s for a time period of 12 months. After 12 months, the price is automatically increases to $58.99, but that’s not the best part. That price will not kick in until 6 to 8 weeks AFTER your have had the service installed. Plus you have to have an E-mail address and be subject to lots of junk mail. Forget to pay your bill or miss a payment in those 6 to 8 weeks, no more rebates. Cancel your service before the 12 months is up you get to pay an early cancellation fee of $17.00 from Direct TV or $20.00 a month from Dish Network at the time left in your contract. Contract you say, yep both companies want you to sign a contract. Want HD channels? It's a fee of $10.00 a month from Direct TV or you have to sign up for auto pay and paperless billing from Dish Network.
This is just the tip of the ice burg on small print from both satellite TV providers. I guess I will stick with cable.
