Authorities say Iowa's share of a settlement with DirecTV will be $185,000.

Iowa Attorney General says the satellite TV company had offered special promotions that contained hidden costs and commitments in the fine print.

According to The Des Moines Register, Miller says the settlement will help reimburse Iowa customers and force DirecTV to change its practices.

Iowa was among 49 states to share in the total settlement of more than $13 million.

The company says the settlement formalizes improved advertising and customer services that it had already implemented to better serve its customers.
