Complaint Review: Dish Network

When I first called dish network it was so that I could get my German T.V. stations. I was told at the time of ordering that the equipment was ours to keep.contract. When I became dissatisfied with the service that I was recieving from Dish Network I called up to cancel. This is when I was told that we were in a 2 year contract with them and that it would be my responsibility to return all the equipment! I said that I was NEVER told about a 2 year contract and that the equipment was OURS to KEEP! They said they never give the equipment to the customers it is only a lease and that when we signed the paper to verify that the equipment was installed we agreed to a 2 year contract. We were never told that we were signing a 2 year contract we were told it was for installation. So now I am stuck with a company that lies and cheats it customers. I should have stayed with Direct T.V.!!!!! How do I get out of this contract without them slamming me with an OUTRAGEOUS BILL?
