    Awesome service. Very awesome communication. I will recommend to family and friends, coworkers. I like the personal touch the rep has. It was more than getting a sale or making the dollar. The communication is the best. I've seen so far a lot more than Dish Network has ever offered. I been with them for 9 1/2 yrs.

    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!

    I had a question about installing, and called. Got a young man in Ohio named Dusty. He was very intelligent, could speak well, and was very professional. He had a great personality, and knew his job. He helped me with all my questions. The installer, Donnie, called before he came, was clean and well spoken, and installed the dish and equipment very well. He was a true professional. Always had a smile. Not complaining and grunting as some do. Very pleased with both Dusty and Donnie. Every company needs more associates as these two.

    I have never before had my integrity challenged, let alone having over $800 stolen out of my bank account, than from DirecTV. I canceled them, on the road with a book tour I said I wanted to return their equipment, they said they didn't want it back. Months later, I am billed as if I had never canceled and they are charging me for taking their equipment.

    It has taken me over 40 hours of phone calls et al (online does not work) to return the equipment. Evidently they sent the check for such to a place I have already told them I do not live, so even yesterday plus today another over 14 hours on hold mostly with these idiots. 5 hours on hold with 2 numbers being transferred around, another 6 hours mostly on hold being transferred around and then they hung up on me giving me an 8th phone number to call.

    Since we are moving I called Direct to arrange to terminate the service. The service person at DIRECTV informed us that DIRECTV intends to charge us $100 for "Early" cancellation of our account. We have been customers since early 2013 - so I questioned why we would be subject to an cancellation fee. He checked the company's records, and said it was because a new 12 month period began when DIRECTV "installed an upgraded Genie" in the fall of 2015. HOWEVER, we did not request an upgraded Genie - we had a service call because the original remote equipment provided by Direct had failed.

    Since we were paying for it we wanted it to be functional. The service technician came and replaced the Genie so we would have one that functioned. I do not think it is a fair or legal consumer practice to start a new 12 month period when the fault is in Direct's equipment and the new equipment is a replacement. That is an awful practice that will send me to a different option when we reach our new residence.

    If you are thinking about switching to DIRECTV seriously avoid them. They may be giving you a good deal at first with the new customer promotions but after the first year the price skyrockets plus all the fees are ridiculous even with the promotions. Also if you face a dilemma where you have to suspend service early like I did they will not work with you at all! They will be rude to you and treat you like a criminal. You basically have to pay $200 bucks in full and they don't care at all about any situation you may be in even if you explain it to them. They are money hungry crooks and should be avoided!

In my experience, this will be like every other issue I've had with them. They get their money yet when they don't follow through with their end of the deal - service; no compensation, no apology, nothing.

    I'm writing this review to try to spare anyone from making the same mistake I made when I became a customer of DIRECTV. I only signed up 7 months ago and am gladly paying their insane cancellation fee to be rid of them. The worse customer service I've ever experienced in my life and they raised my rates on me only 4 months into being a customer without any notice. They say it's because they have the best equipment and service out there but they allowed me to suffer for over a week with issues and made me try to troubleshoot my problems with their equipment. I spent hours in chat rooms being forced to try to fix the issues I was having and no one solved my problem.

    I didn't think I had to go through all of that as a customer, after all, I'm not employed by them, nor did I get any compensation for my time. I could say more but I will end with this... I cancelled my service after being treated so rudely by one of their techs on the phone and refusing to pay for a tech to finally come to my home to service the equipment that they say is so great. I know I didn't do anything to it and I was paying enough for the service to begin with, I sure wasn't paying for their tech to come tell me that now I was going to have to pay even more to fix the problem. Take my advice and run from this company. There are much better ways to view tv than DIRECTV. They suck!!!

    I had DIRECTV before. I've switch 2 or 3 times since then to keep my price down. All these companies do is try and stick it to you after you've been their customer for a few years. Anyhow I signed up again at a Menards. I told them I have an existing dish mounted to my antenna tower from DIRECTV. They said, "Great, that's where we will put new one." Great. Havier shows up. First thing out of his mouth was "I can't put your dish up there." I said, "Why not?" He said his brackets won't fit. I said I will make the brackets in my garage as I have good supply of stainless steel power tools and welders. I can whip it up in no time. He says he can't install on tower because it will move. I said, "My tower is very sturdy and anchored to my brick chimney and I never had a problem with the old one."

    He said he could not do it cause he would be responsible if I had problems. I said, "This is my house and I assume all responsibility if there's a problem." He said, "No, I can't do it." I said, "I am the customer and I am always right. Your people did it this way before. It worked great then that's where it's going now." He said, "No, I can't do it." I said, "Fine, I'm canceling the order. You don't want to do what I tell you on MY HOUSE then you're done. Goodbye." Never, never, never will I go with DIRECTV.

    You're promised free install but are charged $99 same day after they install the dish on your landlord's roof. They say because you need wireless set up but it's scam. 3 rooms in apartment is impossible. So I called and they told me only another way to install is use the ethernet hardwire on bedroom boxes... Guess what? There nowhere to connect ethernet to those boxes. Hmmm calling BBB for my 76 year old mother.

    Pretty much they messed up the $100 referral I was to get. I have it in writing from the chat I would get it. Customer rep I first talked to said I was right and I should have got it. They then transferred me to a manager and they said now too much time has gone by and they can not give it to me. The manager was as cold as they come and was pretty much uncaring at all. I have been a long time customer and will not renew. Ever since AT&T purchased the company the customer service has been terrible!

    I owe this experience to my parents. They have DirecTV and had convinced me to switch from Cablevision after being a 10 year customer but super dissatisfied. The rates, the sales reps are not pleasant. My needs were not met, I've changed packages a lot, internet had major interruptions and was slow and my children were getting upset if their channel froze or changed. With DirecTV I was offered and explained a great bundle package after explaining my personal situation and my needs. My sales rep Joseph and Anthony were very understanding and so helpful!!! Being new to this service they had a lot of patience with all my questions. It meant a lot to me. I'm super relieved with my lower monthly bill, so happy that we can DVR more than one show and that my children are not limited to certain stations due to a price. We are very thankful for all your help and services DirecTV! Definitely recommending you to everyone I know!

I called DirecTV and was on hold for 20 minutes until I hung up. I went online and into a chat. That took 10 minutes to get through to tell them to just cancel the order. I received confirmation of the cancellation. 2 days later the installer showed up at my house and we received panic phone calls from DirecTV that he could not get in. They left phone # so I called them again this morning to make sure I get my refund of the $110. I have now been on hold again for over 15 minutes.

    I have been a customer of DirecTV for going on 3 years and I honestly can say, that I've only had one tech out and that was to fix a mistake that the original installer made who was a contractor and that was in the very beginning of my service. But after that everything has been great, no service interruptions. I can probably count on one hand how many times I have had to call them about anything. I just very recently upgraded to their 4k service and so far I love it and being a loyal customer they are always so willing to give me any promos they have going on to keep my bill at a decent pricing. I work for a cable company. I could be paying close to nothing for service but I still choose to stick with Direct. Nothing like excellent customer service and quality products to match.

    Very well pleased with the customer rep. The only thing I do not like is that you have a price for 10 months then it goes up, until the 13th month and then it hikes way up. Why not just have a set price like Dish does. I checked both companies and your rates are comparable within a few dollars, but my daughter who already has DirecTV suggested that DirecTV doesn't lose service when it storms as often as Dish. The one thing that did sell me with DirecTV was the refer a friend and the $100 Visa card. One thing I might suggest is that you have senior citizen discounts and vet/disable veterans discounts.

After 10 hours they were all very ready to go home and they left wall plates off, a tangle of wires in my living room that you could launch an Apollo rocket with, and a system that does not work well at all.

    Next is the product. I have never seen so much unwanted and unsolicited advertising in my life. I would bet at least half the channels that you get are pitching something. I bet there are 300 channels trying to sell you movies, pots and pans, vacuum cleaners or something. They have obviously pimped themselves out to any and everyone that would give them money. Also, the channels are so disorganized and difficult to use it makes no sense at all.

    Now when I called them with all of my issues and disappointments they told me that no matter how much I complained they would not let me out of the deal like I had been promised to get me to sign up. Don't do it. Go to a different product. I will make no pitch for anyone else but it can't get any worse than DIRECTV. I hate it, my wife hates it, and even the kids hate it. They are corporate thugs that will tell you anything to sell it to you and will not honor their promises because they know you have no recourse but to pay. Good luck. I hope you have better luck than me. Thanks.

    Had to cancel my order due to unavailability of satellite service. Jeff provided excellent service and made the transaction simple and pleasurable! It is refreshing to have such great service after dealing with Verizon where you hear automatic computer responses and are on hold for 40 minutes before a human comes on the line!

    I had trouble getting the right person on the phone to upgrade my DirecTV. When I called, an AT&T rep answered, then transferred me to DirecTV. After he could not do the upgrade, he passed me to the person who could do the upgrade. I was on the phone for 30 minutes.

    The agent I talked to was very nice and pleasant to work with, but the antiquated system at DirecTV is very frustrating. I have aging DirecTV equipment (paying for protection plan since I joined) and had to file two claims in the last 2 weeks; the latest is there is not a way to turn on a receiver without unplugging it, plugging it back in and 10 minutes later I can watch tv. DirecTV agreed my receiver needs to be replaced and will do so as soon as my previous equipment claim (equipment I received over a week ago) works through their system. Until it does that, they cannot send me a new receiver, which will be another 3-5 days. From a customer experience perspective, this is poor to horrible. How can DirecTV get away with this when other industries (automotive) would be expected to fix any warranty claims immediately?

    I enjoyed my past services with DIRECTV 2012. However at the end of my contract I was not valued as much as a new customer and was offered less than satisfactory options to remain a customer. So I left for another provider. In fact the Feeble attempts to keep me as a customer only after the order to cancel my service continued to be weak and only ticked me off more. It was only after leaving did the letters to come back and continued offers that made me feel appreciated as a customer came. Huge offers to buy me out of my current contract with another provider. It was however too late and I had committed myself to another service and hold to my commitments. When my contract was over with the next company I reviewed my options and believed coming back to DIRECTV was my best option.

    After receiving a promotional letter to return I decided to Come Back and set up for new services. Days after setting up my installation another promotional letter came in the mail offering a better promotion to return. I honestly expected the same treatment as last time now that I was again a customer and it was a reminder to past dissatisfaction with DIRECTV customer service. When I called customer service this time. The young lady who assisted me was fast, no haggle and fixed my order to the better promotion. She was very pleasant and additionally assisted in trying to get me a better installation time and then proceeded to set me up on DIRECTV Online. Unsolicited.

    Mostly she was very personable and down to earth. I felt like I was speaking to another person instead of someone reading from a script. If it was a script she was very well trained and kudos to the company. I look forward to the next couple of years of your service and hopefully more at the end of this contract assuming I will be treated like a wanted customer rather than a bird in hand. This bird unfortunately will fly again if I receive the same treatment at the end of this contract that I received after my first contract.

    I scheduled to have TV set up on 3/15. After I had already taken the day off DIRECTV called me and said they needed to reschedule. I was tucked considering I already took off work. They offered a $50 statement credit for my troubles. On the next billing cycle that credit didn't reflect so I called them. After an hour of being transferred around they said that they had no record of an outbound call and would not give the credit. In my opinion they offered me a fake credit so that I wouldn't cancel the setup and go with another company. This is extremely deceptive so please be aware.

    Wanted to get information on costs if ordered service at current location and then re-installed at a new home in a few months. Was given vague "will depend on account status at that time". Placed order, but wasn't comfortable not know exactly what would happen when we moved. Had to call back and was given a more direct answer, though still a somewhat vague range "it will cost $30 to $300". So I cancelled the original order and will just wait for new installation at new home.

    It is not often I come into contact with a company that takes billing issues to heart. The norm would be a company explaining why the bill is correct, and do everything they can to avoid admitting errors. DirecTV did what most will not. They took the time to look at each monthly bill, and asked very important questions, such as, why billing issues were brought up several months after the charge. I explained I am busy, with work, as well as an above average family size, which is why my bill is set for auto-draft. And I usually will go through all of my bills quarterly. From someone who values time and money, thank you for taking the time to listen, evaluate, and for being positive and helpful at my contacting you: (before taking action). It means something to individuals like me (your customers) when a company takes pride in their customer service.
