They no longer charge for the first one, and were very upfront from the beginning (and had them printed on the bill every month) about both of those charges, so I'd hardly call them hidden.
People unhappy with a service are likely to start complaining about every little thing, so I take such complaints from disgruntled customers with a pillar of salt. All services have their problems, no doubt. My biggest problem with DishNetwork has been the 1 or 2 times I've had to reduce my service due to financial straights...there's a fee to 'reduce' service. It's not hidden, just unexpected, and untimely when you're in a financial crunch and realize that reducing your service won't give you a net gain for another billing cycle.
