Had the same crap 2 weeks ago.

Her "deal" was going to save me some serious coin.

Get home and there is an email from them detailing my package.

Less channels than FIOS, all the savings were really just equipment rental discounts for the 1st year. In year 2 it would have cost me more than my current FIOS and that was before pulling the TV from my FIOS Triple Play which as we all know when you remove any one of the three the price of the other 2 go up so net/net 1st year I might have saved $10 a month. Year 2 would have been $50 a month more.

Called her up and gave her the exact numbers for my FIOS plan, told her the year 2 DTV pricing had to come in less. She promised to work it out and call me back next day.

2 days later no call so I cancelled. They never cancelled the tech though, found that out when he called to say he was running late. Told him don't bother coming.

You can cancel before they install. Once they install you are on the hook for the 2 years. After that you pay a fee which is something like $20 for each month left on the contract so if you cancel right after installation it's $480.

If your wife just wants to try it for a year and you do decide to cancel you are on the hook for $240.
