I had a great experience talking with the sales rep. She was nice and answered all my questions fully.

I just now signed up for this service. So far... it is went okay. The initial sales person was a little hard to understand but pleasant and had a lovely voice. I did not realize I was not signing up for wireless... so the initial tech rescheduled for me after he came out and realized I wanted wireless on two tvs. The second tech informed me that my address was incorrect on my account. I really appreciated that. He was efficient and pleasant and just obviously really great at his job.
I called the service while he was here and had them correct my address on my account. The young lady I spoke to was quick, efficient, and pleasant. I think that my address is now correct. Only other thing so far is I wish that a channel guide card or a few depending on the number of tvs you are connecting could be given. I know I can look it up online... but for me... a card or pamphlet would have been better.

I was super excited to get DIRECTV in our new condo, so I ordered right away. Unfortunately a few day after ordering, there was an issue with the HOA and I had to cancel. The rep was very friendly, helpful, and canceled the setup and service right away. I can't wait to move somewhere where I can have DIRECTV service!

Called to cancel my AT&T/ DIRECTV service and was told if I broke my contract I would have to pay 20$ a month. I had 7 months left on my 2-year contract and asked to speak to a manager and the service rep Gabriel out of Tennessee, ID **. Service rep refused to let us speak to a manager. Thought I was talking to Comcast for a moment. We ended up calling back and just got the runaround. Super disappointed and like with all previous AT&T services I will never use them again and not refer them.

If you ever get a real, live, human being on the phone - in less than a 1/2 hour - you are incredibly lucky. We had reception as usual. Turned off the TV, went to bed. Next day, no TV signal. They kept my wife on the phone for an hour and a half, telling her different things to try. The guy kept coughing and sneezing into her ear. Finally got it going again. She asked why they didn't send out a tech. He said he had to go through the entire checklist before he could send someone. Excuse me? My wife on the phone for 1 1/2 hours? It is not our fault that the TV stopped working? We have to suffer? They won't send someone to fix it? As soon as our contract expires, we will make a change. This is outrageous!
Updated 6/2/2016: Twice we have had problems. Once it was their fault that we no longer had a connection. Their rep kept my wife on the phone for over an hour and refused to send someone out to fix it. Finally got it resolved. When we upgraded to Genie none of their Genie remotes would work. Customer Service told us we had to use the old ones. Yesterday we got a new TV and the DirecTV remote would not work (though 2 months ago we got a new TV for another room and no problem). Again my wife was kept on the phone for over an hour and they refused to send someone out, even though we said we would pay. Finally my wife gave up and ended the call. Our neighbor came over and had the Genie remote working in 5 minutes--yes, the Genie. And they had told us we had to use the old remotes.

The remote makes me very mad. When you are watching a program and you accidentally touch the remote the wrong way it changes the channel and if you rewind something to watch it cause you forgot to pause it and the channel changes. I hate the remote. It needs to be changed.

I have paid for premium support. Called earlier this week as a second wireless genie box went out now forcing me to deal with the shoddy equipment. Explained the problem with the very good tech support person on the phone and we agreed it was a wireless issue. Tech shows up onsite with ZERO wireless devices. First day of missed work down the drain (thousands in personal business loss) and he unplugged my home office Cisco router connected to a commercial internet MPLS pipe!
Moving on to day two - while sitting at my desk in my office I get a call from DirecTV that a Sr. Tech will arrive to fix my problem between 12pm - 4pm so I take another day off of work and close my office as my wife needs tv! It is now 4:15pm and no DirecTV tech arrives. I call DirecTV, they apologize and say a tech will be arriving onsite within the hour. Happy to hear this news I cancel my dinner plans and wait some more! It is now 5:25pm, I get a call that the depot supervisor decided it was not critical to send a tech out today and I would need to take another day off tomorrow to wait for a tech again between the hours of 12pm and 4pm! It was at this point that I called DirecTV to cancel my service. I paid the $360 pretermination (extortion) fee and I am glad to be going back to cable!
Be warned. This company employs deceptive business practices and trumped up fraudulent "offers" to entice clients. I believe it is easy to offer a premium service contract which entitles me to free onsite visits if the technicians decide to just not show up! That is certainly illegal and deceptive! My advice - stay far away from this company. Only use it as a last resort! Cable is not great but at least the technicians show up with equipment in their van to remedy problems! This whole debacle cost me ~$20k in business loss! One day all services will be available via Internet and we will have true content competition. Only then will these monopolistic agencies be put in their place! Don't "settle" for the fraudulent business practices of DirecTV. Go back with cable or if you're lucky fiber you will be much better off!

DIRECTV is the most unprofessional, uncaring company I have done business with. I previously had service thru them for several years. When I moved a couple years ago I decided to suspend my service. After thinking about it I decided that since I was no longer under contract I would cancel the service due to my limited amount of time to actually use the service. I recently attempted to re-establish service with them and was notified that I owe for "services provided" back during the time after my move. I have contacted customer service and tried to resolve the issue. They refuse to waive these fees stating they have no record of my call to cancel. Even though I have explained that I never had equipment set up at my new residence, and therefore clearly never received service. They maintain that the fees are valid.
I told them they could waive the fees and I would continue to be a customer or if not I would not restore service with them. They refuse. They do not care about you as a customer. When I asked "so what you are saying is you don't want my business?" The customer service rep said "yes". I implore you to look at the reviews DIRECTV doesn't pay for. I give you a hint, they are NOT 5 star.

These ads about the "settlers" are seriously offensive. One they mock the people who built this country on their backs. Two they imply the this generation of working class people are not as good as people who have their service. It is not funny and is insulting and if anything all it did is make a non-customer even less likely to ever use their services. I find this ad in such poor taste. I will forever have a tainted view of DirecTV. I remember telling my husband back in 1998 that these cable companies were going to price themselves out of the market with their inflated costs and contracts that basically make you sign away your right to fair prices ever again. I am not going to sacrifice buying food to pay for something that lessens my children's IQ by using it. Most people can't afford cable and their commercials are so offensive. This commercial was social suicide for DirecTV in my opinion.

I signed up for DirecTV when I was looking for a low cost service. I was told this service was 19.99 a month for a 2 year contract. Shame on me for not asking more questions. Turns out that was just for using DirecTV, didn't include the service being connected and being able to use it. That was not the accurate package cost and that was not explained to me. You are charged separately for equipment and receiver services. Didn't include DVR either and when I paid more to add that, wasn't told it changed my contract time. Then told if I didn't get the Protection Plan, if something happened to the receiver, I would be charged up to 65 to fix, so I had to get that too.
Now I am in the process of re-roofing and am told to move my receiver so the roofing can be completed. They are going to charge me 49.00. The insurance doesn't cover that. I have to wait till service is interrupted. And had the nerve to tell me "thank you for being a loyal customer". How about being a loyal business? I am so glad my contract is finally almost over. I will never use this service again, just on principle of honesty, customer loyalty and disclosure of actual costs. Buyer beware, unfortunately.

I have been with DirecTV for 2 years and besides the discounts the bill is never the same. As a matter of fact, it goes up all the time. When I call in, they say "it's programming increases".

So I cancelled my cable at my home and put the ugly dish on my roof to save money on having both cable and Directv. But, I was paying less for cable, 60 meg internet and phone than I am just Directv, with no weather interference. And if you try to make changes to your account, they tack on another year.

After 2 failed attempts to find a workable location to site the DirecTV dish the on-site installers closed out the job as not possible (no clear line of sight to the Satellites).

I want to have the installers make one final on-site evaluation of the new location. Getting this initial install job reopened and the job rescheduled took 5 calls and a number of forwards on some calls, consuming over an hour just to get to the person who could help.

I can describe my experience in two words. Horrible and unprofessional. I called to talk about options on lowering my bill and I was hung up on twice. I have the ID# for the first person to hang up on me. I did not get the second ID#. My third phone call with ID# ** refused to give me the previous ID# to further assist me in this complaint. The representative was very rude even already knowing my situation and frustration. I asked for a supervisor and finally I was helped by a respectful and professional employee of DirecTV's named Sue ID# **. I will say that I will not be re contracting with DirecTV. This is only one of many bad experiences with DirecTV. There are too many other competitors that would love to have a paying customer.

When I signed up with DirecTV, my monthly bill was supposed to be $39.99 monthly. Five months in, they started billing me over $120.00 per month. After countless hours with condescending customer service reps and their inept managers on the telephone, I canceled my service. When I did do, I was told I'd have to pay about $240 in early termination fees. The manager claimed I signed a contract. When I told her I didn't, she claimed it was a verbal contract. I asked to hear a recording of said contract. She said she couldn't do that. I refuse to pay this fee. And have filed reports against DirecTV with the BBB, FCC and the Attorney General's office. DirecTV is a predatory company and should not be allowed to treat people in such an unfair, dishonest manner.

HORRIBLE SERVICE. I had a problem with my box for 7 months, constantly called DirecTV so they can send a technician and in 4 different times they NEVER SHOWED up. They made me miss work twice because I really wanted to get my cable fix and they never showed up. I never received an apology either and until NOW I'm still having trouble with my box. When we want to record something it never records all the way because the signal is completely bad. So unsatisfied with this service. Do not recommend it to anybody.

Even if you close your account, change your bank accounts, they still have charge you! I don`t know how they do it, but I have charge on more than $400 on my card! For nothing!

I have a 2 year contract with DirecTV and my contract ends in April. I called to confirm my cancellation date because I want to go to a different company and I was informed that when I moved last year it added an additional 24 months to my contract! I was still in my 2 year contact but because I moved they added another year! I was appalled. How can they do this! I was not told this was the case when I completed the order. I pay my bill each month on time and the thanks I get is additional months added. I am so disgusted with this company. Due to the amount charged each month I had to lower my channels to almost nothing and I'm still paying too much. Shame on you DirecTV for taking advantage of honest hardworking people!

I highly recommend that you record all contact you have with DirecTV. I was told everything that was agreed to was being typed up and recorded and there would be no issues down the road. I have had nothing but issues and it wasn't just with that first customer representative, many different representatives have told me one thing and recorded something else. They will not hold up to the agreement made over the phone and will not allow me to cancel their service without charging me. I find this to be absolutely appalling!

Very good. But I wonder about something. Say you go into a home with young folks and maybe see a problem, like a not so well kept home and a bunch of foreign people living like 8-10 people. Would you ask for some identification before installing your service? I really don't mind security questions of any kind. My credit union does that if I withdraw money at a branch location. My guy didn't today but figured I was OK to do the install and all. When he knocked on the door I greeted him and told him my name and all went well. Just thinking out loud here not wanting folks to skin your company or anyone else for that matter.

We were DIRECTV customers but when prices kept climbing we had to cancel the service. After some days DIRECTV sent the box to return their equipment. When we opened the box, there was a great pricing offer we were comfortable with, so we decided to call and get the service back. Today I called back and was told a completely different pricing with the "we don't know about that offer you are talking about". After some calls trying to cancel it again, they are trying to clarify the situation because "you are under a 24 month contract???". And of course there were no recorded conversations or no notes on my account of these pricing conversations. Attached is the offer we received.

Buyer beware!!! We decided to make a change to DirecTV because it would save us approx a hundred dollars a month. But unbeknownst to us at the time that you had a 24 hour cancellation policy. The issues were buffering of broadcasting and pixelation. The latter issue was minor compared to the first. DirecTV choose to partner with CenturyLink. The issue was the broadband pipe and trying to support the broadcast downloads when rewinding to the beginning of a show. In the two weeks we had the service and utilized this feature it had a buffering issue every time. I cancelled the service because I did not want to deal with this issue for the next two years and it cost me 460.00 dollars.
