    We have had DIRECTV for 14 years. In 2014, we purchased an HDTV, so we contacted DIRECTV and purchased an HD receiver and the service with an agreed rate of 108 a month. After 18 months, DIRECTV decided they would raise the rate, when I contacted them their only reason was "everyone got a rate increase". I told them I would pay them as per our contract or they could shut off the service and we would part ways. Two days later my service was off. Today, two months later, I received a nasty gram stating I owed them 157 dollars and if I did not pay immediately, they would take the monies from my account without my permission. I just called them and spoke with **. He again threatened me, then when I explained I had contacted an attorney, he began to scream at me that they had a right to do as they please. Stay away from these people.

    Customer service and consideration of customer's time is totally lacking. Consistency in what you are being told/sold is non-existent. After a combined time of over 6 hours on the phone with DirecTV, 6 representatives and resolution specialists, it seems that the only resolution with Direct TV is to cancel and go to another provider. (A) Bait-and switch-tactics which should be reported to local State Attorney General. (B) Deceptive advertising, again FCC or State Attorney General. Nothing should be this difficult to get a straight answer, decent customer service and the bottom line amount of your bill. What a shame because the product of DirecTV is actually a solid product but if you can't get through the customer service portion, get a definitive answer on appointments, costs and in-home product even after 6 hours on the phone and trying to get through the automated service then it's just not worth it.

    Knowledge of needs and online promotions made experience delightful for a retired old man that has little experience with today's technology. One exception: We placed the order around midnight and the final process, talking with the man that finalize the bundle, proceeded with order without permission by not discussing additional cost of installation. His comment, "I don't know how they could have had no installation cost and I don't know what they (DirecTV salesperson) are going to do about it". The package promotion is no cost for installation. I see the $99.00 installation fee was charged to ATT for a services that I have had for two years. ATT denies confirmation that was furnished by DirecTV. Really don't understand but I have brought this to the attention of your salespersons three times and to make sure there is no problems to concern myself with.

    DirecTV charged me close to 300 dollars for two cable boxes. Shortly after that, they have charged me 68 dollars a month for their services. After 4 months, I have paid close to 600 dollars to DirecTV for tv alone. After calling and asking for a cancellation, they informed me that they will charge me $20 a month for the remainder of my contract which is finalized in 2017.

The rep said it was for my protection and I don't feel that way, I had to say the password he put on it and I'm like “Really?

    First installer acted as if the job was too big for him. He was originally scheduled from 12-4 but ended up coming at 10:30 or so after doing my neighbors and had many reasons why the Dish couldn't be installed and wanting to sell me the "genie system" due to the amount of wiring needed to be run because he didn't want to use the old wiring. We have another installer scheduled for this upcoming Friday 6/5/15 so hopefully the job will be completed.

    TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE! If you are contemplating on signing up with DIRECTV, do yourself a favor and DON'T DO IT! Yeah sure, the first year is GREAAAT with all the fun discounts they give and 3 months free this and 3 months free that... but once that time is over, you will find yourself paying up the "you know what" for all the extra fees that are now full price. Of course, remember, you will be locked in a 2 year contract, so good luck trying to cancel without penalty, because it's not happening. After my 2 years, and paying upwards of $120 for a mid-range package (no internet or NFL tickets or movies) I had to come to the realization that that rate was too high for what I was getting. So, when I tried to see what "deals" they could offer me before I cancel, they said "sorry, I can't even take off $10 dollars..." OK then, good bye to DIRECTV it was.

    After cancelling, not only did I receive numerous (annoying) calls about why I cancelled, I also received all these wonderful options to have cable at $19.99/month! WOW, would have been awesome if you would have offered this to me when I was cancelling just days sooner! Then of course, after my last and final bill was posted, I thought my wallet would enjoy the break, BUT to my surprise, I receive a bill of $51?! After calling to try to make sense of this charge, the agent advised it was information taken from my device/box from a fight I order 3 YEARS AGO! Are you kidding me?!

    The manager didn't care to help, only quoted policy and to explain it was in the contract... although funny how it was never mentioned when I was cancelling. After trying to dispute the charge, I was basically sent a cold reply "The charges are in accordance to 'customer agreement' and NO portion of the disputed amount will be refunded". Needless to say, they do not care to ever have me as a customer again.

    I am a loyal customer of DirecTV. I contacted Direct to see if I was eligible for any of the deals they were offering new customers. I have been with Direct for over two years. I was told there was nothing they could do for me. When I stated that I could a better deal elsewhere, they transferred me to a retention specialist. I spoke to a very nice rep who reduced my bill from $101.00 to $54.00. This was in March of 2015. That month my bill reflected the change. In April, my bill was back to the $100. I called and they said that March bill should not have been adjusted. I spoke to several people until I was transferred and they said the bill would not be adjusted. It was not.

    The same thing happened in May. My bill is automatically drafted. Each time the amount they promised to draft was not what they drafted. It was higher. Today, June 1, 2015, I was told the deductions were a one-time only offer and they cannot reduce my bill as promised. Not only did they lie to keep me, but they did so for two months and then they drafted more from my account then what agreed. I will be canceling my service based on the fact that, to me, how they handled my situation was a bit shady. It would have been nice if one person had at least apologized to me for being told that my new bill would lower.

    The most thing that I like about the service you get just what you ask for with no problems. Directv works with you to meet all of your programming needs even waits for you to make up mind, they do not rush you at all. What's really AWESOME IS THE PRICE OF THE PROGRAMMING PACKAGES. The only way the price will change is if you add more things to what you have. Other than that the prices do not keep changing on you every month... like other providers do. THANKS DIRECTV YOU'RE THE BEST.

    When I signed up for DirecTV I was not informed that it is a 2 year contract, which I had specifically ask not to have. When they sent me the customer agreement, it also did not state that it is a 2 year commitment (even their new customer agreement does not state this). It is hidden in their equipment lease agreement which you have to click a link from the customer agreement to access. The equipment lease agreement says the early termination fee is $480.00 if you have DVR/HD and $240.00 if you have basic receivers (which is what I have).

    When I cancelled my service they charged me a $320.00 prorated fee which it would have been if I had DVR/HD. When I called to ask why it wasn't the $240 prorated, their response was that was only for existing customers. Apparently I wasn't an existing customer? Not sure what I am then. Poor customer service, poor explanation, rip off of on cancellation fees. Would not recommend to anyone. Dish customers are much happier, I was warned and didn't listen.

    The 2 men that came out to install our DIRECTV were professional and very helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we understood how to operate the equipment.

    We were told on the initial sale that you had bundle partners in our area, unfortunately the only one you have is Verizon, and not the others that we were told. We've signed up with hughesnet as we were told they were one of the bundle partners in our area. They are not so we were unable to get a bundle discount. ** went above and beyond and gave 50.00 off Of our first month's bill. Although it is not even close to what we were expecting to save with a bundle package, it is very much appreciated. The customer service was flawless.

    So far DIRECTV has been very professional. An initial response on quality of actual use is not possible at this time. The initial sales call was based on offers from the mailer I received. The sales experience was excellent until extra fee(s) were added. The service call is what I am certain customers always expect. Very professional, as was e-mails following the service changes, which based on my needs, actually saved me money and educated me on differences in different available services. I hope installation and viewing are as smooth because the alternative is no broadcast TV at all. I am happy my neighbors have so many DIRECTV connections!

    I called to cancel my order however the rep talked me out of it. And I'm happy with that decision.
