    They give you a fair price for a year and then after the year you are told to call back for more discounts since your bill doubles. They want me to pay $60 before taxes for the basic programming I had which I was paying around $29 for. I asked if they had military discounts to lower it the bill, and they were like, "The military discount is only $5 dollars, and that would still put your bill higher than it is." They come up with all this excuses, and the representatives and managers clearly don't care about losing customers or keeping a customer happy. If I could give 0 stars I would. Never again, with this piece of garbage company.

    I was told 2 times by DirecTV after and before the install today that the bill would be $75 when AT&T told us $54 with unlimited data on our phones. I was in the store telling AT&T what was going on and also called them that morning to tell there was a quote issue. After going into the store and making several phone calls AT&T - who bought out DirecTV told us our bill will be fixed tomorrow and the bill will be $54 and DirecTV has their facts wrong and there is "massive confusion" between Directv and AT&T with their combo plan. Problem better be resolved tomorrow because we still don't have a straight answer. AT&T also told us they have taken off the "sports fee" for people in the choice package and 1 associate just did it last week. DirecTV told us that fee definitely couldn't be removed. Get your crap together!

    I went online on 4/26/2016 and paid the full amount I owed according to my bill. TOTAL AMOUNT DUE $245.40. I paid online using a credit card and when I completed my transaction a blue box appeared saying that my balance was now $.75??? And that if I did not pay the amount by 5/16/2016 there would be late fees. The problem is that my next bill will not be generated until 5/17/2016. So in an attempt to avoid late fees I tried to pay the .75 using a credit card. It would not allow me to charge only .75 stating that I had to pay a minimum of $1. So I tried again paying an amount of $2.

    The blue box appeared again stating now that I owed $2.24??? And that if I did not pay the amount by 5/16/2016 I would be charged late fees. I tried to pay again and this time it said I had exceeded the amount of times I could pay in a 24 hour period. My concern is that they have tagged on a charge, after I paid my bill in full, and if I don't pay the "charge" by 5/16/2016 they will tag on late fees. All of this will happen before I'm even billed for it on my next bill that will not be generated until 5/17/2016.

    DIRECTV will not release customers for two years from the last day of contract service. Ordinarily, it's probably not a big deal unless... Remodeled my home and wired specifically for DIRECTV. Dish placement is beside of chimney out of view of neighbors and me. But DIRECTV refuses to install the dish because the new roof is metal. A private contractor for DIRECTV is willing to install and maintain dish. DTV will let him install on my metal roof. But they want the contract. In other words, they won't install on my roof but they want me to be contractually obligated to them and pay them their customary monthly fees for television service and maintenance. But they wouldn't fulfill their end of the contract if there's a problem with the satellite dish on the roof because it's off limits.

    Their solution is to install the dish on my deck, the only yard that I have. Not acceptable. I've spent a lot of time and money prepping the house for the most advantageous dish placement. My solution is for them to release me immediately so that I can have a private contractor install and maintain the dish on the roof. I would still be a DIRECTV customer. Four customer service conversations later and refusal by a supervisor to speak with me directly, I'm contacting Verizon for television service. Unbelievable.

    Directv is the biggest ripoff! I was with them for years and when you upgrade they will sign you up for another 2 years without you knowing it. They also charge you more than you owe. I also got lied to by the service rep by saying how he was the highest I could go. Really? I asked him if he was the president of the company and told him I wasn't stupid. I have it in writing that you get charge 10 per month for remainder of the so called contract (that I had no knowledge of) and they still are trying to charge 400 dollars for. Watch it, they are truly a rip! I'll never do that one again.

    My wife and I have been AT&T loyal customer for years and took their advice when looking for an Internet and cable provider, so we signed up for DirecTV. Huge mistake, our service never worked properly, the channels kept going out. We had a technician come and work on the issues in 4 different occasions, it was never right. The only thing that was never an issue, was for DirecTV to bill us every month without errors and making sure we paid for the service (hahaha, what service?)...

    We called to cancel the contract and they very politely explained that either we give them another chance to fix it, or simply pay the cancellation fee. How could we trust them to come out to our home one 5th time?... Worst consumer experience l have ever had with a provider. I will pay the cancellation fee just to get rid of the headache. DON'T DO It, unless of course you want to waste money, time and made feel like is your fault for not wanting to give them another chance.

    I don't know who these people who gave DIRECTV good reviews talked with or maybe it was before AT&T take over. I just tried to get several questions answered and still didn't succeed. First person didn't speak or understand English. Then get transferred, still have to go through way too many voice prompts that still didn't fit my questions. Get transferred again! More prompts that don't fit. I have missing channels that I pay for! Went missing between Sat & Sunday. Girl tells me "Oh you have to have HDTV to get those." I have never owned an HDTV in the 15 years I lived here, which I told her.

    Tried following reset instructions, still no missing channels. And if you move like I'm going to do next month, when they send the boxes to return receivers they turn off your TV! So if I'm moving on the 23rd of the month if I call them to send boxes 5 days before I move I have no TV for 5 days. And you call this great customer service? I'm definitely looking at other options for TV service when we move. NOT an AT&T fan. Will be changing my cell service too ASAP.

    On 04/23/16 at about 0845 hours, your DirecTV technician came out to my residence. First, he told me that he couldn't install the dishes, due to the location. Then he told me that I needed a letter from my landlord, before he could start any work (drilling into the walls/installing dishes). DirecTV should really communicate with the new customer about having this letter ready, so that there is no delay. I was able to get the letter from my landlord on the same day, but now have to wait 8 days before I can get my installation. That's not really cool and that is why I am only giving a 2-star rating.

    For a decade, I was a loyal customer. Paid like clockwork (on auto-pay). I would have stayed with them if my new home had visible sky to install a dish. When I ended the service, they took over a month to issue a refund... in the form of a "no cash withdrawal CitiBank Debit" card. So, for years, they get my money on time and early. Actual cash. The refund is something hardly usable. And will be difficult to get the full balance off of (some oddball amount because of partial month of service). It's a scam to be able to keep part of the balance I am owed. I just don't know who is the bigger crook... If DirecTV keeps what I can't get off the card, or if CitiBank does. I guess this is the way they "hook" you into being afraid to move on.

    After having DirecTV for a year we were not happy with all the paid channels and the advertising channels DirecTV had. My bill went up 20.00 after the 1st year and I decided to call customer service to see if they had another affordable package. I spoke with the billing department and then was transferred to the sales department. They offered me a 5.00 discount on my bill for twelve months or another package that did not have many of the channels we watch, including the History channel which is our favorite. I told the man in the sales department we would be switching providers and he said, "There is nothing more we can do."

    I then switched providers and called DirecTV to cancel our service, I was informed we are being charged 200.00 to cancel. I was told by their customer service representative I was not switched from sales to their department to keep us as customers which I should have been and was offered a great package that our family could afford. I would have remained a DirecTV customer with the package they offered, however after already switching over, taking time off from work for the hook up, and not being handled correctly I told DirecTV I would not be returning. I would still be using DirecTV if the package was offered to me on the first phone call. The account was handled incorrectly from no fault of my own and I am being charged 200.00 for a mistake that was on their part. I will be sure to tell my friends and family not to use their service.

    I was a loyal customer to DIRECTV for 4 years and overall, my experience was not a good one. It took almost that full period of time to get the TV anywhere service to work at all, but it is still glitchy. I could not review my account online due to some glitch in the system, but finally got there last year. When I called in, I was frequently interrupted by my agent taking other calls or looking for help from someone else. I was told some time ago I was qualified for an upgrade, but it NEVER ARRIVED. I tried the live chat service, which was totally hopeless. Each response took over 5 minutes! My pay channels were glitchy, so I called in again, and they said they would do something to my system, and it would be fine the following day. It wasn't! I switched to DISH yesterday and am very happy that I did. More channels, less money, much better equipment recording as many as 16 shows at a time, and a Huge number of free movies.

    Had to reschedule my install a second time because the install tech indicated that he would not be able to use the cable currently used by Comcast for Internet and one TV set, as CenturyLink will not install Internet and phone until next Tuesday... Somebody needs to inform customer service that this type of installation is not unusual, and if the two services are connected, installing Internet first will alleviate the problem. I don't want another cable on the outside of the house to run one TV set just to get around this problem. I am not amused!

    For the last 3 or 4 months I tried to make my payment by phone just like I have for the last 15 years but for some reason it either does not work or it's not processing to my billing page. In 15 years I never missed a payment. I got an alert from my phone that I was late and owed 330 dollars and if I did not get paid they would disc service on the 15th. I got the alert April 20th! I thought well maybe I missed a payment recently. When I check my bank statement DirecTV has a payment posted on the first second or third of the month for the past year. I pay it then because that's when I get paid and that's when I pay my bill for the last 15 years. So when I called today and talked to a young lady she said yes I was late and I owed 330 dollars.

    After deeper review she said that I missed a payment so I asked to speak to her supervisor Duke #**. After waiting on the phone for 42 minutes he finally answered and basically said that I owed 181. My online bill said I owed 164.77 not 181? Duke made adjustments to get my bill back to 164.77. What is going on with DirecTV? Phone payment service is terrible, the online bill is not accurate and I was on the phone for over an 1 hour and 12 minutes. If this continues I will look for other services!!!

    I have been a DirecTV customer for 3 years now. The bill seems to increase almost overnight. It starts off great, they give you the world for a low cost for the first year, but lock you into a 2 year contract. Their customer service is great at getting you signed up and active with satellite and internet service, scheduling install, etc. Their customer service is also responsive and easy to reach anytime. When it comes to making a change to your service though or canceling it, you have to talk to 10 different people at different companies (AT&T and DirecTV might be owned by the same company but they do not operate the same cancellation services), and it's definitely painful.

    They are far more expensive than competition when it comes to certain things like having the NFL Red Zone channel. DirecTV will force you to purchase the "NFL Sunday Ticket" package in order to get Red Zone, which is $60 monthly, compared to Comcast is $10 monthly for Red Zone. Their internet cost is comparable to cable, however it's literally 10 times slower. Comcast offers me 150 MB download speeds for the same cost as DirecTV offering me 12 MB download speeds ($60/month).

    My satellite and internet bill combines for nearly 300 monthly with DirecTV and AT&T Uverse, and it's a complete rip-off. I just hung up the phone with Comcast and I am getting all the same features I have with DirecTV, more reliable and instant on-demand, 10x faster internet, and a home phone which I didn't even want but they said it's free, for $160/month for the first two years, then $180/month after the contract is over. It's more than 100 dollar savings per month to have better, more reliable, faster service. Do not fall for the DirecTV scam. Save your money.

    Loved my service, even recommended them, but moved to an area where I got a better deal with internet service. Disconnected end of January. Waited for boxes to return equipment. In the meantime, I was making payments on my "early disconnect fee". No boxes... 6 requests and almost 2 months later and I wake up one day to see $800 removed from account. The bank said they ran it through 8 times till the lucky day it cleared. It was just my MORTGAGE payment mind you. No biggie. But you got your money, well my money and I still have no BOXES to RETURN EQUIPMENT.

    There isn't a RETURN ADDRESS on the INTERNET anywhere. BOGUS, FRAUDULENT SERVICE. Full of excuses. The poor people who have to work for you just because they need a job. Sad. WARNING: If you early disconnect, close your bank account or card because they apparently do not have to have your authorization to charge you whatever bogus charges they want. And you are never going to be able to send back said equipment. Anyone need a DVR or minis? I have 3 for sale. (eyes rolling)

Naturally the bank will cancel card and give you one with new number. So I didn't have time to tell them new number. Yet at end of deadline. I find an overdraft on my account by them. Seems they found that card # illegally and used it without my permission. Even though in contract it says they will use card on file.. Hum. Now they claim they can't or won't refund. By the way.

    I was a DTV customer for 15 years with no complaints, other than paying too much, which is true for all providers, up until 2.5 years ago when I switched to Dish. I called DTV to ask for some kind of special treatment, a free this, a discounted that, something! But after 15 years of loyalty with no complaints, they offered nothing. UNTIL, that is, I called to say I was cancelling my service and switching to Dish. They then offered me the moon. But, I had already made my decision. The other day I got a great offer in the mail from DTV so I decided to switch back. I liked them better anyway. After 4 phone calls, getting transferred 3-4 times each call, getting cut off a time or two, I finally got someone who could take care of a long lost customer. During the process, it was discovered my phone no. was off by one digit. The CS Rep corrected it and we agreed on text updates.

    I scheduled installation for today 4/18/16 and was having Dish turned off on 4/19. My install window was 8-12. There was terrible flooding in my area today, so I expected a delay. Got a text mid morning saying not to worry, I was still on the schedule. By 5 pm I hadn't heard another word from them. I called back and the rep said the tech had called at 1230 and 300, but got no answer. Come to find out, they hadn't corrected my no. for calls, just texts! I stated that it had to be today or tomorrow because no one would be home the rest of the week and my current provider was ending service the next day. They couldn't accommodate a long time customer once again. So I had to cancel the order and call Dish to cancel my cancellation. I wasn't totally satisfied with DTV 2.5 years ago, but I think they've gone even further downhill since their acquisition by AT&T.

    Tenants of my rental home ordered DirecTV services. The installer called for my permission to install dish on roof. I said it would be ok if the dish could be removed when or if tenants vacated property. I was assured by the installer that would not be a problem. The tenants recently vacated and after contacting DirecTV for dish removal, I have been told it is not their policy to remove the equipment, the equipment belongs to the tenants. Seriously, I own the home, I want it removed, so what is the problem? DirecTV installer lied to me and DirecTV wants to leave equipment on the property in the hopes of new tenants becoming customers if equipment is left in place. Very deceptive and brazen policy. I will make sure that in any future tenant leases I will ban DirecTV services. I am surprised they are allowed to get away with this practice.

    How do I begin? Well, first of all, when I signed on with DirecTV, I was never told that snow could create a problem with my service. Living in Minnesota, that's a bit of an important piece of information. So when I started having problems after a few flurries, I was perturbed. After calling and explaining that no, I can't just go brush the snow off of the dish because it is on top of my house, I was told that I may need to have someone come install a pole in my yard. I was previously told that installing a pole would cost me money, and when I told the representative this, they said that I could just "argue that you were not told about snow being a problem and convince them to do it for free." Why should I have to defend why I need something to make my service work? And why should I have to pay extra to make my service work properly in the first place?

    Well, after that, and after paying way more than I was promised per month, less than two months into my contract, I decided to call it quits. Too many issues were coming up. So of course there's a massive early termination fee, which is ridiculous given why I terminated it, but whatever. It was clearly explained to me that I have 44 days from receiving my bill to pay everything or else my account would be charged. Ok. But today, in less than half that time, my bank account was charged. I called and talked to several people, who all gave me different reasons for why this happened, all of which who basically told me I was SOL. I will never again use this service. This company is unethical, to say the least.

It was confusing--Shelly @Costco said that if I bundled Net and phone I would get $20 off the bundle price month for each service ($40 - $20=$20 for 12-24 MBPS and $30-$20=$10 for Voice Unlimited) for Year 1. There was another price for Year 2. She may have been quoting me a new promo.

    Went to AT&T to check on phone problem. Customer Service person discussed DIRECTV and savings. We changed to DIRECTV from Dish. When I got home I noticed on the programming they recommended, it did not have Golf channel. I am an avid golfer and wanted that network. I went back to AT&T and told sales representative I talked with earlier and he said he would change it. Two days later I went up on my account and noticed it had not been changed. I contacted DIRECTV CS and explained the situation and she handled the problem in a matter of seconds in a very courteous manner. Great employee...

    My first experience was terrible and the second was wonderful. The first representative kept pressuring my by telling me to write up the order, and when I was finally nearly done submitting my information, he disconnected from me and did not call me back. He said that I would get $200 in VISA cards, but that never happened. The second representative was superior, calm, and actually saved me as a customer. He deserves an award for his expertise in every field, and for keeping me as a customer when I was ready to quit.

    We had DirecTV for 8 years and paid our large monthly bill consistently on time (NFL Sunday Ticket, 7 receivers, DVRs, etc., our monthly bill was $200+). Early this year we were relocating to another city and I called to discontinue service. Was instructed that our equipment (receivers and remotes) was old but if I wanted to re-sign in my new city, they would give me new equipment AND reduce my monthly bill significantly for the same level of service.

    I declined and was instructed to remove the access cards from the receivers and to return them in the recovery kit to be sent to me. I was further instructed to take the remotes and receivers to a recycling place (earth911 or wasteconnections.com). He also advised that because I had paid that month's bill that I would receive a prorated refund. As he indicated, I received a recovery kit for the access cards and followed the instructions provided by DirecTV and returned the access cards. I moved and subsequently received at my new address a statement indicating I had a credit balance of $152, so I was expecting a refund check.

    A few days after that I received a recovery kit for 2 receivers??? Then I received a revised statement that indicated I now owed $143! They had charged my account $292 for non-return of receivers. I phoned and spoke to 4 different people. All had to transfer me to someone else and ultimately I was told I had to put my dispute in writing. I did so.

    A few days later I received an email (that I could not reply to) that said they tried to call me (? no one had called and I had no voice message) and I needed to call them. I did so at the number provided in their email and spoke to 3 people, and all of them tried to convince me to resign with DirecTV. One even spoke to her supervisor and said if I resigned with DirecTV that they would reverse all the charges because I had been such a loyal and well paying customer. I got nowhere. I sent an addendum to my written dispute hoping it would get to the right person.

    Yesterday I received a revised statement that they charged my credit card 143. I find their behavior of a GOOD customer (their own definition) reprehensible. So they never intended to refund my credit balance and then to add insult to injury, charged my credit card even more. My question is if I was a loyal customer with a premium package for over 8 years and I always paid my bill on time, at what point did they determine I was unable to follow instructions? Their very own instructions? SMH!

    I was very excited about getting such a great deal with DirecTV. I am currently with Comcast and don't care for their prices and customer service. I was thrilled when Bryan in sales gave me such a great deal. Monthly service price, more channels and $100.00 gift card. I would be paying $46.00 less a month. Who wouldn't love that. They could even come out the next day. Thrilled!

    Michael arrived and informed me they couldn't install a dish. The building was too tall and there was nowhere to put the dish. He was very courteous and polite but explained there was nothing more he could do. Very disappointed but I understood. It was beyond his help. So now I am stuck with Comcast. And unfortunately had to eat my words and call and have my service reconnected after I had already called them and told them all about the great deal with DirecTV and why I was cancelling. So wish it could have worked out.

    In January 2013 I purchased my own receiver off of ebay to save on lease fees. In February 2016 I decided to cancel my service with Directv. They insisted that the equipment belonged to them and that I would have to return the equipment to them. After several phone calls and discussions with uncaring individuals I was told that "my" equipment would be removed from their books and I would not have to return the equipment. Two months later I receive a past due bill indicating that I still owed them money. Upon calling them they advised that the fee was due to the fact that I had not returned the receiver. Once again I explained that I owned the equipment and had receipts to prove my claim. My call once again fell upon uncaring deaf ears and they insisted on the return of the receiver. At this point there is no resolve with Directv. I will be sending "MY" equipment to them and will never ever deal with or recommend this company to anyone!
