All cable/internet companies are evil. DirecTV has been one of the better ones IMHO. Still evil tho, as i've come to find out.  \n\nI needed to add a wireless receiver to my account maybe 6 months into signing the contract... They charged me $180 to add & ship the one, new, LEASED genie mini to my house. Apparently any changes made to the contract after 30 days but before 1 year means they get to rape you blind! That's almost the same price as 3 years worth of the receiver had I added it for 'free' when I started with DirecTV. And my monthly bill also went up.\n\nKnow what your getting into with these guys and know that any changes down the road will cost u big time!
