what's the best way to buy DirecTV?

trying to buy the "choice" pkg. of DirecTV, and i am confused. the price is quoted at $29.95/mo, with a free dvr and 3 free hd receivers. plus $100 rebate for both me and the friend who referred me. i've talked to sales reps and read the ads, and i can't figure out what the "hidden charges" are. i just want to hook up 3 tvs to ....whatever... (i've got comcast now, and it is horribly expensive for "extended basic.") i'm trying to do better than that. don't need to wander from room to room to watch the same tv program. just need service for 3 tvs (so i can watch netflix, which i REALLY love). would like to hear from anyone who has experience with buying direcTV--the product, the service, the cost. i live on cape cod (if that makes any difference. my friend who suggested/referred me lives in california.) the people in my house like to watch different shows. the recorder part isn't really important. any help would be welcome....personal experience with direcTv, or any suggestions of websites that would give me a clue...

thank you!

    The promo price is only for the first 12 months. After the year is up the package raises to its original price for the remainder of the contract. they also charge you for any additional receivers or equipment etc. Use this referral so you can get an additional $100 off your bill

    ok let me help you, i got directv. wait ok let me list it.

    First of all, for each receiver you have you will pay $6.00 per reciever so for 3x$6.00 will be $18.00

    Second if you want dvr services you also have to pay for that since you will have a dvr it will be $8.00

    Third hd is not free unless you will have to pay $10 for hd services.

    Fourth and lasty, if you want whole home service that is see all dvrs of all your receivers it will cost $3.00

    Plus tax include another $5.00 estimate.

    The additinoal charge will be. a total of $49 dollars plus the 29.99 of service

    that is what they are charging me.
