Since I have changed from Comcast cable TV to Direct TV (satelite), I have had many
problems with the service. There are frequent interruptions in my reception. I have
had a technician out to try and correct the problem to no avail. Sometimes, the
tv picture will go out without any storms in the area or any high winds. If I had
anticipated the problems that I have had, I never would have changed fover from
cable tv service. The reason for changing was the considerable difference in price
between the two services. I can see know that saving the money wasn't worth the
aggravation that I have experienced. I would certainly not recommend Direct TV
to anyone who is considering their service.

I used Direct TV for a couple of years, always paid my bills on time. In addition to the DVR and received I got from Direct TV, I bought a DVR from Costco myself. After the contract ends, I sent the DVR and receiver to Direct TV, excpet the one I bought. Direct TV has been asking me for the DVR since. I sent Direct TV sales receipt with no luck.

I finally called Costco and Costco told me to "return" the DVR to Costco (after tw years). Costco refunded me in full- not a cent less. I sent the refund receipt to Direct TV thinking that resolved the issue.

What did the Direct TV do? Direct TV sent me to collection. I have talked to Direct TV more than 10 times and could not get anywhere.

Direct TV has wasted enough of my time and did not really try to resolve the issue. I will spent more effort online to tell the bad behavior of a company than waste time with the company.

My cable has been out a week. I was informed by Direct T.v a technician wouldn't be available until a week. Sucks, sucks.

This is really bad. So bad, I'm going to stop paying my bill and fight the collection attempt. I signed up for Direct TV about six months ago. Their technician would not do the "Professional" installation the way I wanted. He showed up late, of course, and was in too big a hurry to mount it where everyone else on my street had it mounted. Instead he put it in the grass where the lawnmower guys can bump it and mangle the cords. What I didn't know then is that I had 90 days to complain about it or it would be my responsibility to get it fixed. Well, the other day the yard guys got it banged up enough that it needs fixing, and my call to Direct TV did not result in the outcome I desired. They said it was my responsibility to get it fixed, that I needed to log a complaint about it within 90 days of the installation if I wanted to have any hope of having them address it, and their tone also said I was kinda dumb for expecting them to fix it in the first place. I mentioned the installers un-professionalism and laziness, but they didn't give a whit. (Expletive traded for a kinder word, of course.) I asked politely to speak to a manager, got one, and he was just as unyielding. He eventually turned into a real jerk, not letting me finish sentences, complaining when I returned the disfavor, etc. So, now the World Cup round of 16 is on tomorrow, I have a long list of chores, and no device to play or record it. And I still have to pay for it. I LOATHE cable companies. Now I feel the same way about satellite. I'm off to the store to buy one of those KILL YOUR TELEVISION bumper stickers.

I subscribed to Direct TV 10 month's ago with the assurance that the service had improved and there were hardly no more interucptions due to rain. The told me that you could get reception's even in A storm. Well guess what, Not true. Here in Louisiana at a certain time of the year it rains almost every day at the same time of day. and I can't watch every day about three PM. I can't get recpetion even if it don't rain when it gets cloudy picture goes out, serching error # 771.
I have called them until i am fed up. I wanted to get out of the contract and they want to charge me $20 a month for 13 months
for remaining time on contract.
IT'S A RIP OFF AND I AM GOING TO TELL IT TO EVERYBODY I CAN
