Very helpful with that. I have a hook-up scheduled for Jan. 28 and I have a of snow in my yard. Probably will have to reschedule.

    I signed up for DirecTV because it seemed to be the most affordable in my area, which was still a lot more than I was comfortable with. Since I signed up in Nov. 2015 my bill has changed EVERY month. I made the mistake of signing up on Autopay, not realizing that I would have to babysit my statements each month, line by line. In July of 2014 movie channels were added to my account, without being requested, and the NFL ticket (which I didn't even know I had) began being charged my bill went from $57 to over $150+. I didn't catch it as soon as I'd like because of autopay, and MYSTERIOUSLY, my DirecTV was bundled with my Verizon bill for Aug. and Sept. I have NO idea why or how that happened.

    Each time I have called DirecTV I was on the phone for over an hour and spoke to at LEAST two representatives each time. One of the representatives assured me that she would open and submit a Dispute on my behalf after I informed her I didn't have access to the internet that night. When I called to check on the status of my dispute, I was informed that NOTHING had been submitted, just notes placed on my account.

    My bill is now over $500. I am so utterly disappointed and infuriated with the way this company does business. I am convinced services are added in hopes that customers do not catch them in time so they can get stuck with charges. DirecTV makes it so difficult to dispute charges and none of the representatives are able to do anything at all. I have been told repeatedly that the charges are valid simply because they are on my statement. That does NOT make a charge valid! I should not be charged for any services I did not ask for. If I had the money, I would pay it just to get away. I feel completely helpless over the amount of money DirecTV chooses to bill me with.

    We had DirecTV at our former residence. After pouring money into C______t, we wanted to try Directv again. We inquired about purchasing an Internet/TV bundle, ran credit check (using my husband's social) and the DirecTV customer service person said we would have to pay a $200.00 fee to have DirecTV connected. She said that the reason for the fee was something pertaining to the credit check. Alarmed, we ran an Experian report only to discover what we already knew... EXCELLENT CREDIT. We asked at the time if it was because it was something to do with DirecTV's credit department and I was assured NO, it was our credit.

    We called AT&T directly to ask about bundling high speed internet with Directv. We got all the way through the process, ran the credit only on MY social security number and she came back and asked, "Did you have DirecTV in the past? Your social is coming up flagged. Could we try under your husband's social?" Oh my gosh. We just only ordered the high speed internet - NO TV. But this feels unjust!

    We left Directv because of our move and we heard that everyone at the complex had C_____t. We paid all the fines Directv imposed for ending our contract early. (We have excellent credit!) We work hard to maintain this. So why are WE being penalized? What is the $200 for REALLY? DirecTV, I am disappointed with your process.

    Y'all called to confirm the appointment at 7:30 that was set for 12 to 4 pm on 1/23/16. Then after I drove 45 min in the snow to be there for the install, y'all called and canceled at 1 pm. The same snow was on the ground at 7:30 no more no less. If you were going to cancel you could have said so at 7:30 when you called the first time. I am not upset but I think this could have been handled a little better. Not to mention when I called to rescheduled, your phone system hung up on me 4 times while on hold waiting to speak to a rep. The rep was very nice and took care of my install appointment. Thanks.

    Started with DirecTV 4 days ago. Had to call approximately 10 times so far. First problem I had was them using Comcast's cable to install their service causing me to have to schedule with Comcast to get a new cable ran. Second problem was a bill coming that was way over what I was originally quoted. Third problem was the package and channels I asked for were not being provided to me. Fourth problem was them bringing the wrong receiver. Fifth problem was the shows not showing up in the search. Sixth problem was no one showing up for scheduled appointment.

    Called in, was told someone would call me within 10 minutes. An hour and a half later I called back since I still hadn't heard anything. Told me someone would call me within 3 hours. No one ever called or showed up. Called again. They told me they couldn't tell me when my technician was coming so I asked to reschedule for the next day and they said "No". Asked for supervisor who finally got me an appointment. Received a call the next morning confirming my appointment. Appointment time came and went. No call/no show. Called in again and then told me they could reschedule me for 4 days from then. Supervisor says I should receive a call within an hour. Any guess on how this will go?

    First of all the service installation and telephone representatives are extremely impatient and don't explain things clearly. We singed on through AT&T and through the lengthy process NO ONE told us that we were entering into a 2 year contract, not in the store nor when the service technician came to install the plan. This is a unethical and dishonest business.

    Now, that AT&T and DirecTV have merged into one I couldn't pass up the chance of their bundle which is really a pretty good deal. I re-signed up for AT&T Uverse Internet and bundled it with DirecTV. Oh boy what I did was very wrong. I have been an AT&T customer for years and everything is great, no problem at all. But in this situation is different. Uverse tech showed up at the time they said they would to connect my internet. DirecTV tech was nowhere. I called and I can't even reach anybody and to make matters worse is nobody has even tried to call me to correct the problem.

    I spent all my Saturday trying to get down with what happened. As soon as I woke up I went ahead and call them (9am) until about 11:39am after 7 different people and telling them my story over and over - again of course nothing was done. Now, they said they will be here between 1pm-4pm. It's now 4:12pm and nobody has showed up or even just a courtesy call from them that maybe they are late or something. What the heck DirecTV? Some people would take time off from their job to so we can have your service but you failed to meet your end.

    I became a DirecTV customer about a month ago, switching from FIOS. My biggest concern was bad weather and some horror stories I read. Things like DirecTV lies about snow effect and lots of slamming the service during bad weather. So I had them install dish near a window, thinking I would have to figure out how to keep snow off the dish and expecting the worst. I live in Philly and we are in the midst of a blizzard. We have about 18" of snow so far and blizzard conditions. I am more than pleased with DirecTV. The fact is I have full HD service and no station outages. The technology of their service blows FIOS away as well. Maybe because I have newer equipment, great satellite signals, but whatever, I felt it was time for an honest good review for them since it seems most people who post are ones that have issues and complaints. 8" more to come during the day, so keeping fingers crossed. Great job DirecTV.

    All the positive reviews on this forum are from people who STARTED their service with DirecTv. Of course their experience was positive, it's all smiles and claps on the back when you open an account with any vendor. The TRUE mark of a good company is what happens when you have a complaint or want to close your account like I have tried to do today: I have called literally 8 times, each time on hold for over 25 minutes -- when you choose the menu item to close service, they dump you on HOLD hell. This is their MO hoping you'll go away. When I finally got a hold of someone, they "accidentally" routed me for no reason at all to a different department. I'm not kidding you. We were in the middle of a conversation, all of a sudden I hear a dial tone and I am being transferred to the international channels department. I had to hang up and call all over again.

    When I finally got a hold of someone AGAIN - after much rage and fury - after another 20 minute hold, the guy "accidentally" hung up on me!! Just straight up hung up on me. After saying he was "sorry" for the aggravation I went through. Never again. Do not go with this company. IF DIRECTV GOES BANKRUPT WHICH IT SURELY WILL DO IN THE NEAR FUTURE, IT ABSOLUTELY DESERVES IT.

    I was contacted by Hector ** in November 2015 and he went on to tell me how ATT DirecTV merged now and they can offer me a great package. I will have all my programs in 4K because they have fiber optic cables. I specifically asked about that because if I was to change from cable to them I would like to get 4K since I have a new 79" 4K tv. Well I find out not only a few programs are offered in 4K and I would need a specific receiver to get it for additional costs and even if I did get the receiver my tv (LG) isn't compatible with their receiver so it wouldn't work anyway.

    Also I asked him why my receipt says 2 year contract since I didn't want a contract. He said that's the old contract, they won't hold me to a contract if I'm not late on any payments. Well another untruth I found out it is a two year contract. Next lie he said I will get HBO, STARZ, CINEMAX, SHOWTIME, for the entire time I stay with ATT DirecTV. Again he said if I keep it 1 year or 5 years I will get them free as long as my payments are not late. Well no not true again. I found out that's only for 3 months then I have to pay extra if I want to keep them.

    Next Hector said I also have the NFL package for the remainder of this year and next season as well, nope another lie. I was told only this season. I called him about these untruths when the tech came to install the equipment and he said he was unaware of the 4K issue and felt bad about giving other people the wrong information and if I want he will try and get me that receiver without the extra charge. I declined because I needed to find out about all these lies before I cancel the service. He told me I had 45 days to decide if I like or want the service to try it for the time then cancel. I had the tech call his supervisor to see what my trial period was. The tech said two weeks.

    I tried contacting ATT DirecTVabout it and they said 24 hrs. I explained the situation and they transferred me to someone else and I wanted to cancel then. They told me since I went through this I had to the 15th to decide. Well I noticed I didn't have specific channels I wanted and was told prior I would have and finding out that channel wasn't part of the package. It would cost an extra 5 dollars and after all the aggravation and hours on the phone talking to many agents on both ATT and DIRECTV I cancelled only to be told I was getting charged early cancellation fees of 20 dollars a month for the year which came to 480.00. I argued, I was told I had time before being charged so I argued and told I want to speak with a supervisor. After speaking with that supervisor she told me they will waive the fees just send the equipment back and they will send boxes to me for that.

    A week went by no boxes. I called and asked and was told the boxes will be sent and I owe early cancellation fees. I explained again I was told I had time and was told by a supervisor that I would not be charged, so I talked to another supervisor. She said, "Ok. I will waive the fees." I called ATT to let them know I cancelled because you have to communicate with both even though you get one bill. Well next thing I get a bill for 121.69. I call again, they said I'm good. Next I get a bill for 604.10. I call DirecTV and explain it all again. They put me on hold and I get disconnected so I call again, explain it again, the agent says I don't owe DirecTV anything that I need to call ATT. I call ATT and explain it all again. They say I owe DirecTV. I call DirecTV, explain it all again. I told them I'm getting the runaround. They say ATT paid them 453.61 on Dec 16 and to call retention department.

    I call the number he gave me and explained it. She said "I'll connect you with a supervisor." The supervisor said she needs to connect me with ATT again. Next thing I'm on with a agent from DirecTV. He doesn't know anything so I explained it ALL to him and he figures ATT paid them and they need to tell ATT so they DirecTV can reverse the money and because I cancelled and don't owe anything so we waited on hold for hours and he told me they disconnected him so he was gonna call them back while I was on hold. Still more time goes by and he told me they wouldn't let him do anything because he wasn't the account holder. He explained he was an agent and gave his ID # but they still refused. He told me he was gonna try and expedite it and they will either straighten it out or if not send me a refund so I can pay ATT and be done.

    Now I'm so beside myself. I get a email from him at DirecTV. They are sending me a check for 505.93 so I call ATT and explain it all again. She says, "I'm Brooke from Missouri and I see it all on the account." I tell her "I'm getting ill from all this craziness. I need to settle this now. I shouldn't owe anyone anything." So she said, "Hold while I get DirecTV on the line to fix this." After waiting she came on and said "I have them on now and it will be a few while we discuss your account." I say "If I get disconnected please call me back." She said my phone number and told "Ok hold."

    Well after holding again for a while I got heard the music stop and a message came on saying I can go online or hold for the next available agent, after a while I get an agent from DirecTV again who knows nothing so I explain again how I was on hold with ATT they were online with you, DirecTV and waiting for Brooke to come back on with me. What happened so I was furious by now and said "Put me on with a supervisor. I need to get this straightened out now." She connected me with Brian. I explained it all to him again. He was helpful and got Ann on from ATT. She said I owed ATT for the few days of service. Brian on DirecTV side refunded my owed money.

    ATT Ann said she can lower my bill but I still owe ATT, by the 24th of February 2016 or they will report me to credit bureau, I explained I have impeccable credit with zero late payments so I guess I as a consumer was approached by a salesman from ATT to try out their new service. He told me all untruths so I canceled and had to go through hours and days of aggravation and now have to take more time out of my life to get DirecTV money to pay ATT for a bill I shouldn't have.

    If the public knows this is what they might have to endure to try switching over to ATT DirecTV package they will stay as far away as they can because No consumer should get screwed like this ever. I will NEVER have anything to do with these companies ever again. They screwed me once but never again. I'll be happy to stay with my cable company who doesn't lie to people and then charge them.

    We are new to DIRECTV. We want to be able to use our Bluetooth TV in different rooms in our house. When we signed up for DIRECTV we were not told that there was an option involving a wireless bridge available. Now it's 2 months later after we've finally settled in and are utilizing our system more and we realize that we are unable to use our wireless TV in different rooms in our house.

    When we called to look into the wireless bridge we were told that it would be $250, that there were no discounts available or credits available to us for the equipment that we already have in our house (the Genie and Genie Mini) and that the reason was that we had not been a customer long enough to deserve an upgrade. This despite the fact we wouldn't need an upgrade if we have been told initially the service was available because we would have chosen it at that time. And in the course of this communication to add insult to injury the person who waited on us was rude. Discontinuing service.

    I am quite sure that one of DirecTV's hiring requirements is that you must be brain dead. I have to call every month to correct my bill. Every month they tell me that they have it all straightened out. I don't have time for this aggravation and frustration. I am done with them. Got my bill today, guess what, wrong again. This call I will make will be to disconnect service. I am so done with these IDIOTS. They have some lying, cheating folks in their retention department. Last year I called to get my programming changed. I needed a lower plan. I am a disabled veteran and could no longer afford what I was paying anymore due to a limited income. I was out of contract at that point. I agreed to a one year contract with the lower pricing. The price I agreed to would not increase. Twelve months later BAM, I get a huge bill. I called and said to cancel service. They said I still have one year on my contract. I blew a gasket.

    I asked for them to playback the tape where I entered into this contract. They did not have one. They took the word of some snot nosed brain dead swindler that probably does not work there anymore. I explained, I have a limited income and it is never going to go up. Why would I agree to something that I once again would not be able to afford. I explained to them that their employee makes commission on every sale. Who would be more likely to lie. The brain dead IDIOT on that other side of the phone could not understand what I was trying to tell them. Too bad so sad for you. Let me also say that you will be hard pressed to find somebody to speak with that is actually on American soil. I can do without these kind of companies. I like to support the United States of America. Good luck if you use this non-American company. If it is working out for you, that is great. This is only my experience.

    I never leave negative reviews but I felt like others should be aware of how DIRECTV really operates. I signed up for a bundle service and paid my bill every month on time. Come to find out they never bundled it correctly in the system and I was getting billed for full internet (CentryLink) and full DIRECTV. The first 3 calls to customer service (which were 3 way calls between the two and myself) were helpful yet nothing ever got fixed so on the 5th call I decided to cancel because I was moving (military). Once the individual realized that I was determined to cancel (keep in mind I was respectful) they became completely disrespectful and would not correct any of the things that were stated. At the end of the day I was charged an early cancellation fee because I canceled a service that was promised to me, yet I only canceled because they could not get the service correct. I hope this helps someone avoid a bad situation.

    When we subscribed to DirecTV, we chose service on a monthly basis, just wanting to try the service. Customer Service assured us we were under NO COMMITMENT. When they do the install, you sign something -THAT is the commitment. 2 years, in fact. So after 5 unhappy months, we are still on the hook for 19 months of service and equipment rental. We were LIED to and DUPED into a 2-year term when it wasn't what we ordered. How can they get away with that? That's bait and switch. If you dare to try DirecTV, read everything. DON'T SIGN ANYTHING. So I say, if I'm on the hook for the duration of the 2 years, why not keep the equipment? Because they will file against you. When you call, record the conversation. Tell them you are and if you dare to follow through and do sign something, have an attorney present. If you're only option is DirecTV, Read.

    At the time of placing my order I was mislead by what I would receive in the end. 1/14 today was the day I ordered the service, and I was given a price point of 3.99 for one international channel that I was already paying for with Time Warner at the amount of 11.99 and so for that I went ahead and decided to complete the order. The sales department told me to have the tech complete the order and to call the customer service department to get that channel added for the price point mentioned. 1/17 this was the day that the tech came and installed only one satellite but needed to come back again the next day because someone forgot to mention that I also would need the international satellite as well since I order the international channel. 1/18 the tech come back and installed the other satellite and one box and he wanted me to check out the channels.

    That's when he realized I didn't have the FTC channel I asked for and so we needed to call the customer service department. We called and to make short of this I was told I needed to get a package of the amount of 25.99 which I was not told of this from the sales department or I would have not continued with the order. I took the package since I had to stay with it now since the box was activated and I didn't want to pay for the 20 dollars a month for the remaining months of 24 months and so they provided me a 50 dollar credit. 1/19 I called to verify the credit and I was declined the offer until Jose got it for me since the notes in the system was placed that I should have a credit. But now I'm in a 24 month contact paying more than what I paid with Time Warner. Also they monitor their calls so hopefully you can obtain that call and verify that what I wrote was the truth.

I can only get channels 202 and up until my equipment is installed. This was never explained before hand so I missed all the NFL playoff games because I couldn't get local channels. And the reason I got DirecTV was because it was supposed to lower my AT&T bill, but you can't change service until your equipment is installed. That means I called AT&T and stayed on the phone about two hrs with a 3 different people that said they were going to do everything that day .

    I only got direct set up, because everything had to be set up by different people, Internet, cell phone and direct. Direct you had to pay $1 AT&T I had already and Internet you had to pay a full month upfront. If it's a bundle it should be so hard to bundle. It's very aggravating. Please simplify or some people won't have the patience I had. I still have more rounds to go through this mess.

    I was told that the price in 2nd year would be $24.99/month; however, it is actually 2 times more. Yes, $59.99/month! After a year of the 2-year agreement, they told me it can't be $24.99 even if I cancel some channels. On the agreement letter, they do not describe the actual price for the 2nd year, so please do not think they will give you any discount in 2nd year. I would not sign up in the beginning if I know the truth and will cancel it as soon as I can.

Upgraded our home equipment to Genie with a minimal installation fee and set up the appointment for the same day. Explained that we can use our existing DVR on the motor home and then gave us Starz for free for 3 months! Gianna was so friendly and helpful.

    I called to connect my DirecTV to the Internet. I had been connected previously, but had been unable to connect for a few weeks. I called at 11:05 am and spoke to Shayna. She had me go through several steps that I had already attempted. She told me I should keep trying. Since I had put it off for a couple weeks I found the answer unacceptable. I asked to speak to a supervisor. She told me none were available. I asked for the name of the supervisor, but she wasn't sure. She said there were too many to name. I asked again to speak to a supervisor.

    She put me on hold for six minutes. She came on, mispronounced my name, and said she was waiting for a supervisor and placed me on hold again. I was on hold for another ten minutes, then transferred to a line with hold music. The line was picked up after approximately 30 seconds and Shayna announced Shaquita as a supervisor. Shaquita had me go through the same steps, identified an issue, and instructed me to reset the receiver. I spent a total of 52 minutes on the phone to have it resolved by resetting it. Poor customer service!

    I was dissatisfied because I was told I was receiving the fastest speed internet and yet I found out all I received was 24MB when in fact because of the area I am in that is the highest. I left Cox Communication because of a very similar reason. If I had known that you only offered 24MB upfront I would not have signed up with AT&T because I was getting 100MB at Cox. That information should have been disclosed to me with my initial contact.

    I just want to make a list of things to make others aware of. First, discounts that are promised will just "fall off" of your account without you being told. If they come out to fix their equipment that is malfunctioning they say it will cost you nothing, but then slide a service fee onto your bill. Then when you call to ask about it they say "well do you think you could have fixed it yourself." They will promise you money on a redeemable Visa card to get you to renew your contract then it never gets added to your contract after you agree. Then when you call about it they will say its being elevated to the national office and they will call and they don't.

    If you want to add another box to a room you have to sign a new 2 year contract from that date. They will offer you free programs and if you don't call to cancel them they will continue to charge you for them without notice. Listen very closely when talking to them then follow up on everything they promise. I think their tactics should be illegal and the government should step in and do something about them. Overall just be skeptical of anything they tell you. Good luck!!

    My problem stemmed from the channel lineup for Choice package that was contained as a link in my confirmation email on Jan 8. The lineup DID NOT contain any regional sports networks, especially Root Sports SW. I called your help desk on Jan 8 or 9 and asked why. I was told Root Sports SW was NOT included in Choice. I explained that the listing on DirecTV's own website shows that it is included, but the rep on that day was emphatic. I almost cancelled my order that day.

    I called again on Jan 10 and spoke with a different rep (Rebecca, Empl. ID **). She was able to appreciate my concern. She took the time to research my concern. She then explained that the Choice channel listing in my email is generic for the entire U.S. and has no Regional sports channels listed at all. She further explained that the listing I was seeing on your website is specific and lists the appropriate regional sports networks since it is based on my zipcode which had to be entered before the list would display. She assured me that the regional networks would be in my package. The dish was installed today and indeed they were.

    It would be helpful if the listings you send with the order confirmation state that it will not list the customers regional sports networks and that the customer can rely on what appears on DirecTV's website. That would have eliminated the heartache I had and time I spent making sure I was going to get the channels I was paying for. Even better, the list in the email should be the full and correct one since you do have the customer's zip code by that time. Thanks.
