Very easy, pleasant experience. I called to add the coverage for the equipment and was assisted by a lovely person who solved my request. I think you guys do a great job in customer service and I appreciate the help and service you have supplied. That is hard to come by these days.

Very helpful reps and technician very efficient. Only surprise was that I had to pay $99 more for wireless. Was told up to 4 boxes free but to avoid drilling many holes and cables I chose wireless but cost $99 for two more boxes.

My family and I have been with DIRECTV for over ten years! The service has always been amazing. The representatives on the phone are always very knowledgeable about my issues. The channel line up is incredible! I am moving away for college and I have just ordered DIRECTV and AT&T internet for myself. I cannot wait to be watching TV in August!

I agreed to DIRECTV a year ago for 29.00 a month package. By the time the second bill came it had all kinds of charges that I didn't agree to. After numerous calls the charges were removed. Less than two months charges go back up this time to 49.60. Why? No real answer. Now after 12 months it goes up to 90.00 a month. DIRECTV said that all the discounts have come off. Long ways from 29.00 a month. They continue to call and pressure you into buying more. They refuse to take no for an answer, talking so fast and then adding without you knowing it. I can't wait til my contract is over. Buyer beware of their scam!

Just got an email from DIRECTV this AM offering a FREE HD DVR 4K Genie. Confirmed that my account is eligible for the upgrade with FOUR DIRECTV representatives. But, none of them could make it happen on their end. Finally got transferred to a supervisor who told me that I could get the equipment free BUT I had to upgrade my account to the Ultra Account level which was $30.00 more per month. I told the supervisor that is not what the offer said and nowhere in the promotion was there mention of that requirement and I wanted the promotion at the price promised in the email (FREE). He said that was against company policy. I even got him to admit that the promotion was a come-on upsell to try to get you to upgrade your account. This tactic by DIRECTV is clearly intentional deceptive advertising and they should have to stand by their offer. BTW... I have a 4K TV.

I have had Directv service for a few years now. Since establishing this service my Auto Tune has not worked completely. I set up channels to Auto Tune and they don't switch at the time set. Sometimes it will go to a different channel not set or change to Auto Tune 30 min after programming time. I have had more receiver replacements than you can count, and the last time a tech came out and said, "It's just the way it is". I'm paying a lot of money for this service. On SSI so I dont have a big disposable income. Like I said, this has been going on since day one. Called customer service, which was useless. Asked to be transfers to troubleshooting dept and was disconnected. Why should I pay the rates they apply when one of the features arent working? Cant get anyone to help. About ready to cancel. Any others with this experience?

Do not fall for the deception and lies of DirecTV salesperson. I do like the programming but after the first year your payments will go up dramatically. I was told by the salesman that they have deals all the time which is a lie. I contacted DirecTV twice and both times they said there was nothing that they could do for me but lower my package. Do not believe the salesman. Do not trust them.

Directv sold me a bundle plan they do not have. Signed up for bundle plan... After installer came by he informed me that internet is a separate company. I didn't think Directv would send me this company Exede internet which is probably the worst company Ive ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I called Directv as soon as the internet was installed to tell them how unhappy I was with this co. Directv informed me they were not responsible or interested in bad service. I told them I went through them and they sent me this company they should handle or try to find me a solution. They did nothing but tell me not responsible for my lack of internet service, that I should call co myself. Do not get fooled with Directv's so called bundle plan cause they don't have one and the company exede internet will tell you this... which by the way has the worst customer service ever.

Currently we are traveling in our RV in Cooperstown, NY, far from our physical home address in California. Experiencing problems with one of our DirecTV receivers that their service people could not correct over the phone. We did however identify the receiver as the problem. We pay monthly for a maintenance contract to service problems should they occur. So DirecTV service person stated that they can't send a service person along our travels so the only way they'd send someone out to replace the problem receiver is if we returned back to our physical address in California.
I impressed upon her how unreasonable that is that there are DirecTV customers all around us and that there are service personnel servicing this area and one could schedule a call to correct our problem. She reiterated that they would only send a service person to our physical home address. They will continue to collect our fee for a maintenance contract but only avail us of service work if I drive 3000 mi back home. This is not an acceptable solution and certainly not proper customer service. Oh and when I asked to be transferred to a customer complaint line, she said they don't have one. Big surprise!

We signed up for Directv and At&t phone and internet. The Directv installers made appointments on three occasions and according to instructions, we stayed home from 1:00 to 5:00 each time. Yet each time no one either called or showed up. Trying to complain and get an explanation was impossible. We were put on hold and no one knew what had happened. Later we found out one installer lied and said he told him not to come because we needed to get permission for our HOA. But I am on the board and know we don't have to get permission.
Finally, an installer did arrive, but he said we couldn't get reception and they couldn't install it on our house. After that someone from Directv called to ask us if we wanted to continue with our installation??? They don't communicate with each other. Then they offered to return my $20.00 payment, but that never came either. Since I don't want to be held on hold while I listen to moronic music, I'm not bothering to call about what happened to my refund. Be prepared for extremely unprofessional conduct and even lying.

This afternoon I called DirecTV about getting the internet through them. I spoke to Lucy and she told me that we could have basic package for TV and the internet for $110 a month and the first month would be a one time charge of $170.55 for installation. We thought heck yeah, this is great deal. She had us call another number for the people to set up the internet part. We called and talked to a Robert and we was told that there was no additional charges. We set an appointment to get it setup. About 5 minutes later I looked online on my bank statement and an additional $99.99 was charged to us plus the $170.55.
We called back to find out what was going on, and we were told oh well, "We cannot honor what Lucy or Robert told you." I told them to cancel my account. I then called my bank and told them what was going on and they said they just put in for another $69 charge. Beware. This is a big scam! Oh and the internet was not from DirecTV but from a Exede Wildblue. Don't trust either one.

DirecTV Scam Alert: Do not do Business with DirecTV. They tripled my bill! In 2014, a salesman at Sam’s Club scammed me into signing up for DirecTV at $44.99/Mo - $10 Sam’s Club discount, so $34.99. A few months later, my bill went up. I'd call to inquire; they'd remove something I hadn't requested; maybe drop it $10; but then it would go up again; repeat until I was paying $121.09 more than triple what I was promised. Then they gave me a 10 buck discount, so $111.09. Shortly after my 24 month contract was over, I canceled. Then the phone calls start trying to get me to come back. How can I make it right?
I asked for them to either refund or give me a credit for the amount over $34.99 I was charged over a 2 year period. That'd silence them. Then today, July 5th, 2016 at 4:36 PM, they called again. "Why'd you leave?" Because you lied to me! Then I asked them to quit calling me. He can't guarantee I wouldn't get called again. "You better not call me again!" Then he starts yelling at me until I asked to speak to his supervisor. Then he hung up on me! So now I'm speaking up! I'm recommending to everyone I know, Do NOT do business with DirecTV! — With DIRECTV.

I called DirecTV to inquire about pricing options for bundled TV and internet as we are moving from one state to another. To make a long story short unlike every other TV and internet service provider on the planet DirecTV will not give you a price quote without actually running your credit. They won't even give you an estimate of the price assuming best possible credit! I asked what the prices on their website were for and they said those are not accurate and the pricing you get totally depends on your credit. After speaking to two managers they finally agreeded to give me a "quote" without running my credit which was $129.99 for their middle tier (Choice) and some unknown internet. That price was way high for the area especially as an introductory price and when I asked what the speed of the internet connection was and with which ISP he said he can't give me that information as they have to run my credit prior to giving me the details.
I realize that most companies with a subscription service run your credit but just to give me a price. We are trying to set up service in a new home we just purchased and I know we have excellent credit. They will not give you a price assuming best possible credit! This is an absolutely terrible business model that I can't believe anyone would subscribe to. I really wanted to sign up for service but you lost my business simply because you would not give me a price quote!

I have been overcharged ever since I bundled. I have spent 8 hours on the phone with DirecTV to try and resolve this issue for the last several months (3 1/2 hours on 1st complaint). This has been ongoing for now the 4th billing cycle. The last call on 6-29 the rep acknowledged that I had been overpaying and applied credits to correct. Advised me to wait 2 days for credits to apply and call my normal *Pay with payment and gave me a case number that someone would contact me.
It is now July 5th, no credit is applied and no call from DirecTV with my suppose "Case Number". I'm saving so much bundling, my cell bill increased by 8 dollars!! I will be calling AGAIN on my day off to try and resolve the issue. I have taken extensive notes with dates, times, who I talked with, and even had them repeat for verification what we discussed to no avail. Every time I have to call and explain, they say we're "sorry you've been going through this!!!" At this point, I've had all the "sorry" I can handle!! I would like somebody sympathetic and knowledgeable to resolve the ongoing issue. It's getting borderline ridiculous at this point.

I received an email stating that I owed $27 and would be turned over to a collection agency if I didn't pay right away. I looked at the statement; billed on 6/6 (to my account that ended on 4/30/2016) for charges allegedly generated in 11/2014 (a previous account in Wyoming). The customer service person said that they 'read my access card' and have applied the charges. I asked for copies of my invoices from 11/2014 to 2/2015 that show any charges or payments and I was told to go to my online account (which only shows charges 6/2015 to 4/2016. And I have requested the Access Card and copies of any electronic results.
For both accounts, I paid any buy out charges and promptly returned the equipment and was never told about any charges from my previous account. I believe that I have paid for the PPV charges but don't have any way to access the invoices (if paid). There has to be a time limit on charges that they can apply and if they do charge them, they should have to provide me with detailed invoices and payment records.

I signed up for DIRECTV service late 2015 and it has been a disaster ever since. I was told if I combined my DIRECTV and AT&T account, I would save $10 a month. I have called customer service six times regarding this issue and DIRECTV transfers me to AT&T and then they say they can't help me and just transfer me back to DIRECTV. I went to the AT&T store and they said they couldn't help me because my account says it's combined in their system that it's a DIRECTV issue. I finally just gave up after spending hours on the phone on hold/talking with different employees even though I could have saved $80 if they would just combine the accounts. They claim they combine the accounts and then for some reason the system removes the bundle. Doesn't make any sense to me.
When I signed up for DIRECTV I was told that I would get the NFL package for the rest of the current season and next season since the current season had already started and was close to being over. I was a little skeptical of that so when I called to cancel the three months of free HBO, I asked if that was correct. DIRECTV's customer service confirmed that I would get it for the 2016 season for free. The guy didn't wind up cancelling my HBO service and I received a bill for it. I called back in to see why I was being charged and he had set it up to process the cancellation for a future date and the system didn't do it correctly so they had to credit my account for the HBO charges. I should have known after that incident that this would happen. A few weeks ago I got a notice stating I was going to get billed for the upcoming season's NFL ticket.
I called DIRECTV again to see what the issue is since I was supposed to receive it for free. After waiting on hold for over a half hour they told me I was lied to and I would have to pay for the service. I asked to speak with a manager and even after explaining that I had called last year to confirm it with them, they said there was nothing in my file stating that so I was lied to and there was nothing they could do. What kind of customer service is this??? You're telling me two people that work for you lied to me. The one selling the product and the person I called to confirm it with.
I can't believe how horrible their customer service is. It has been one disaster after another and I can't wait for my two year contract to end. I am so angry with how they've treated me that I have considered paying the cancellation fee to get out of the contract. I would rather have no tv than deal with a company who tells me I've been lied to by their own representatives.

I was a DirecTV customer for many many years, way back when they were Prime Star. When my husband and I were married I brought my Prime Star with me. Also I recommended the company to several family members & friends. After my bill kept going up and several phone calls to Directv, we decided to change to Dish. We immediately started getting phone calls and mailings from Directv promising this & that. Eventually after receiving a mailing where they offered a $250 visa card, we decided to return to Directv.
When I asked about the card after installation I was told we weren't eligible. When I spoke with several agents on the phone I was told by some that we were eligible but when they asked their supervisor they would say no, so it would change. I finally would ask if they were going to honor it and was told no. And now, after 3 or 4 months my bill has started rising again. I'm not sure why they don't honor the card mailers, they find a reason, and it aggravates me that they raise the pricing so frequently.

We have been a DirecTV customer since 2001 at the same residence. We were in process of having a home built and needed to rent for a few months during transition. DirecTV was aware of us wanting to move our service 2X within the year. We were told it would be $19.95 each time we moved. First lie. We were charged $19.95 the first move. When we called to move for the last time- we were told it would be over $700.00 and would require a new contract. We knew we were going to sign a new contract being we were adding additional receivers.
We had also been receiving letters and emails from DirecTV about specials for services provided. When we inquired about these specials we were told that was only for new customers. Second lie- Our letters and emails stated that after "reviewing our account" we were entitled to these special offers. If it was for new customers only- how would there be an account to review? So we decided we would just cancel our service and move on to another company that would appreciate us.
After calling DirecTV to cancel our account, and after being transferred 6 times (total 2 1/2 hour long call) we reached someone willing to keep us as a customer. We were told that DirecTV would set us up as a new account and then we would get several offers and moving our service would be only $248.00 (still not the $19.95 we were told in the beginning), but also cheaper than the $700 price. I guess they make it up as they go along. We were also told that with the added specials for our new account- our bill would be $70.00 a month for the first year of our contract, then would go to $99.00 for the second year of the contract. We were happy and were asked to record our contract agreement. Of course, DirecTV is sneaky- they never mention any fees or rates when this recording takes place. You only agree to a 2-year contract.
Third lie: So we get our first bill and it is even higher than either of these prices. It is $109.56 a month. Along with a sports channel fee of $363. We did not add any channels, especially not sports. We never watch sports. When we called to question our charges- of course there are no comments or specials what so ever listed on our account. DirecTV denied ever giving us this quote. Nor do they know who we talked to when confirming these prices since they are not allowed to give out last names at the company. I am sure to protect themselves from being held responsible for anything. So they denied changing anything on our account. So not only did we not get any specials from our mailings and emails for supposedly only new customers- we did not get any specials when they signed us as a new customer.
Then after this conversation, I get home and what is in my mailbox? A new offer from DirecTV. I guess not only do they false advertise- they over promise and under deliver. I think they feel since they are such a large company that they can treat people however they please and feel like they can get away with all of it.I can't believe this is how they treat a customer that has supported them for over 15 years. We were going to do our internet through them also- but have since went with another carrier. We will not resign with DirecTV or do business with any AT&T company. We also discourage anyone we talk to about using DirecTV . I don't know how big companies can be allowed to keep getting away with whatever they please.

Ordered then canceled order for DirecTV - When I got home and read the small print I realized that I cannot commit to a two year contract. My husband has health issues and I don't know what will happen in the next two years. My order and cancelling my order were both easily accomplished. If I was sure we will be here for two more years, I would have had it installed.

The original installer Jason that came out Tues was very unprofessional. After calling to complain, DirecTV gave me a credit for all the inconvenience. They had to reschedule for Thurs morning and I asked for a Senior tech, Sam. The senior tech installed with no issues whatsoever! Very professional and was very understanding. I would definitely give him 10 stars and as for DirecTV also a 10. Thank you.

DirecTV service is very clear as to the cables and connections needed for an installation via documents available on the Internet. U-verse was not so clear. I have had at least 4 visits from U-verse techs to install their TV service with no success because of different issues identified each time. All of the U-verse techs (except one) were superb and the last one outstanding. If the satellite connection works, DIRECTV will be the perfect solution for our TV needs.

The tech took the time to explain how DIRECTV worked and also let me know when service could be interrupted. He also agreed with me that a mild shower should not cause interruption of service. If DIRECTV proves inadequate then there are other options available to me.

I highly recommend against attempting to purchase or buy DirectTv. This is the 3rd time I have tried to have it installed and their contracted installers fail every time!! The first 2 times they didn't have enough cable boxes. The 3rd time they didn't even show up or call to inform me after confirming twice. I then wasted 1 hour of time on the phone with their customer service without a resolution. I can't recommend against trying to buy DirectTv. Don't waste your time or money!

After getting dish mounted in best location, Genie receivers were set up in three rooms connecting two tvs and an HD projector. Pictures on all three are great! After install completed Nate helped us understand features of system and how to use remote controls to watch and record programs. Very satisfied with install, equipment and picture quality.

I called 1-800-Directv (347.3289). A man answered, said his name was John, and when I told him that channel 12 KVOS and 366 JLTV were flashing in such a manner that I could not view my shows due to the flashing channels caused seizures for me. The man went off on we need to pay him $100.00 for a service plan. We have a service contract with Directv, he said we did not and would not let his sales pitch go. It became very abusive almost like a debt collector. I must say I lost it... As a CSR myself I know customer service and he failed every lesson I ever learned.
When I couldn't get him to shut up about the service contract and deal with the issue I was calling about I simply hung up. When I upgraded the TV to whole home DirecTV sent out a new hire that didn't know what he was doing like most new hires. I was promised they would come back when they figured out the codes to make the remote work. To this day I'm still using two remotes to turn the TV. I am so sorry... When DirecTV took over Comcast the service was less-than-stellar and now that AT&T has taken over... well their customer service has gone to heck in a basket. I'm looking for another provider... Nobody should be jury-rigged around and continue to pay full price. I'm so done.

I just moved into a new home. We called for DirecTV to install their product. The installer said the best place to put up the dish would be on the roof. Everything looked ok until a few days later. To my concern the gutter on my roof was slightly bent from the installer's ladder. With the expansions and contraction of the gutter a giant bend occurred. Called to place a claim they sent a supervisor out to check things out. He called me a liar and refused to pay claim. They said they asked the installer and he said he never touched the gutters. I asked them, Have they ever of had children. They always tell the truth. I am now out $800.00 in repairs. BEWARE OF DIRECTV INSTALLERS. AT&T really don't care about customer relations.

My 1 yr contract is up less than 2 months away. I had good service until part of the contract wasn't honored. First, when I signed up I finally got my first bill 2 months after with a huge bill. Second, I checked my monthly bill yesterday with a rep and find out my bill sky rocketed >$30. In order to keep my bill low I have to remove my HBO and Starz channels. Those channels were free in the contract for 1 year! I argued with the rep trying to explain my bill shouldn't increase until after my contract expires. Third, they like to bill you 1 month in advance and expect you to pay for it! They have a great ponzi scheme to lock customers in: produce a 2 month bill you get in the mail when you sign up including a 1 month advance bill on top of it, on purposefully cancel your free premium before contract expires, and they charge you 1 month in advance. Customers beware!
