    I signed up with DirecTV in February 2015. I did not purchase with the sales person the first time we met because I wanted to bring the current services I had with Comcast. I wanted to make sure the packages they were offering were comparable to what I currently had with Comcast. We received program by program and the salesperson showed me what I would get that was what I had with Comcast. DirecTV was running a special and I would receive a $200.00 sign on incentive.

    On February 2015 technical installs equipment. I wanted to make sure before he left that I could get programming as agreed. The on demand I was not able to order movies and some of the other programs did not show up. I ask the technician I cannot order on demand movies or even order other past programs. The technician said it will take 24 hours for everything to download. I said if I cannot get these programs then I do not want to DirecTV service. He assured me that it would be up in 24 hours.

    24 hours came and went I was on the telephone with customer service. They were now telling me 48 hours for all the program to download. 48 hours came and went still did not get on demand and some of the regular programming. I had attempted to order a 1 hour movie and it took 8 hours for it download. I contacted customer service. They took me through several steps. Could not get it resolved. 5th day I asked that my services be disconnected because I am not getting the services that I was promised. The disputes agent stated we have been having some issues with the on the demand and we should have everything resolved in 1 week. I stated again to agent if I cannot get my programming then I want my services disconnected.

    Day 7 I was attempting to watch regular programming and when I would select station it was missing episodes. I contacted customer services and they indicated that I should that particular episodes and could not explain why I could not get it. Again they took me through trouble shooting steps. Day 10 still are unable to get programs and on demand as promised by my contract. I contact DirecTV again concerning this. Took me through steps to attempt to get program downloaded. Still no success. Day 25 I was gone out of town on business. Still could not get my programming calling DirecTV customer service. They now state it is my internet modem. So I replace my modem and get faster internet service. Still I cannot get my programming.

    During the next few weeks I did not receive my incentive for signing up for $200.00. I called about that. They said they sent it out. I checked and did not see anything. I called back and a representative said “oh it came back unable to deliver.” I confirmed address and it was my address exactly. I called back to cancel my service and I explained that now I have been with them for over 8 weeks and I still cannot get my programming as promised. I sent back all the equipment and they are saying I owe a bill for 780.00 for early disconnect and service. I explained that never got the programming as I was promised by them and my contract. There are over 15 recorded calls to DirecTV. I do not owe this money. They failed to follow their agreement.

    I was very happy with the customer service & service tech. My only complaint is that I expressed the importance of receiving a phone call from the tech when he was on his way so I could give further directions. I called customer service twice that morning to ensure the same thing. Luckily I gave instructions at the front gate for him because he didn't call. He said he didn't read the notes on my acct. This could have ended very frustrating. Again, he gave great service & everything turned out great, but more importance should be placed on the notes on our acct.

    I ordered DirecTV and got 200 channels. Well, I didn't know that this package consisted of 5 QVC, a channel Dyson vs Shark and Mexican channels, music channels w/out a picture. So after 24 hours I called to cancel out and was told I had to pay $480 to break the contract. I thought that I had at least 10 days... no... you have a grace period on everything else you get... if not satisfied return it... so I thought the same thing applied here. Boy was I wrong. I am 73 and on a fixed income and feel like I was robbed... DirecTV is a rip-off. You should be able to cancel within 10 days if you don't like it and not be charged.

    Contract & Terms

    Reviewed July 12, 2015

    Unless you plan on doubling your bill for worthless TV and slow internet, do not use Directv and CenturyLink. It looks great and all the discounts make sense, but after 12 months both companies practically double your bill. For example, I started off paying about $55 for Directv and $35 for CenturyLink internet. Not bad for the package and it made sense since Suddenlink charged the same price for less channels and slower internet.

    At the 12-month anniversary my cable jumped to $105 and internet to $70 - and no, this was the basic package for internet and the select package for cable. Even after talking with the loyalty program, I still pay $87 for the entertainment package, which is crap. No chance I'm wasting money on the internet service which is also crap. My recommendation, stay with Suddenlink or Time Warner. If you choose DirecTV and CenturyLink, read the fineprint (contract for 2 years, discounts only for 1 year).

    I have only been able to enjoy it one day. Put my husband in hospital. Have had it before but moved and Medicom was in new house so we stayed with it. I enjoy DirecTV but do not like the fact that if it rains you lose your picture. Plus the prices kept going up. That is my only two complaints. Locked in for a year.

    I got installed on a Sunday, later that day the service went out. I called and they could not fix it over the phone and told me that they couldn't get anyone out to my house until the following Thursday, so the first five days of service, I actually had no service. I was then told that if I had an iPad or tablet that I could download the Directv app and watch a few channels. I thought he was joking but he wasn't. Later that week while waiting to get my service fixed while mowing my yard I got something caught in the mower so I turned it off and much to my surprise I had ran over some extra cable that the technician had left in my yard.

    When setting up a time to fix the problem, I expressed to the representative that I worked out of town and that the later the appointment the better, she said that 3 pm was the latest but she couldn't promise me anything. The technician called me at 11 am and says, "I'm in your driveway" and I told him I was out of town and asked if he could come back later and he said no and that I had to call and reschedule. So I called and the representative told me they couldn't get anyone out to my house for another week which meant I was going to go two straight weeks, the first two weeks of having their service with no service.

    I said that was not going to work and she said to call him back and tell him it was going to be another week and see what he could do for me. He says that he is still in my driveway and that he will see if the problem is on the outside and if it is not that he will call me back and when I get home to call him and he will tell me how to do the inside work over the phone and he will just scratch in my signature after we fix it which I found out later was a big no-no. Anyways when I got home there was a Directv truck in my driveway, it was the first guy who did the install. He came in the house and looked in the crawl space and said that there was old wires that he should have changed out the first time so he did that and then told me he was going to move the dish 3 feet to the right because he thought the signal would be better. He comes in a half an hour later and lets me know that everything is fixed and I thanked him.

    Later that day I go outside only to see that he had moved the dish from the original 3 foot pole sticking out of the ground and put up another 3 foot pole up and attached the dish to that. So I literally have a 3 foot pole in the middle of my yard cemented in. The service did not get any better so I called today to cancel after having Directv for 22 days, which I was told that if I canceled before 30 days I would not be charged for early termination fee of $250. Another lie, you have 24 hours to cancel, and it was $450 and told that there was nothing they could do for me other than send another technician out which was not happening.

    So let's get this straight - I had the service for 22 days of which only 17 of them did I have an actual picture, 4 of the 22 days that I had with no problems at all, so for 4 days of service they charged me $450 plus my first month's bill. What a joke. Please, please, please do not ever get Directv. They are a bunch of lying crooks!

    I signed up to get EXEDE internet, and asked to make sure that my tv BUNDLE was NOT INSTALLED until after the internet, so if internet wasn't able to be installed, I would not change to DIRECTV.. But, guess what, even after asking and being told 10 times or more, this would not happen, and that I could cancel if it did, I'M STUCK with the DirecTV, a company I never even called and invited into my home. These people are a joke, they are only concerned with the money, and don't give a crap about the service or the customer. My service was set up poorly, and does not work well at all. The FREE service does not work period. However, my bill is 70 per month, and went up this 2nd month already, not sure why. So how can it be free?

    Seems that everything I complain about is free, so therefore they are not bound to guarantee the service, because it's free with DirecTV. Well, when you're paying 70 per month, how can it be free I ask? Nothing is free, who are you trying to fool? Bottom line, they will tell you that the service you don't get is free just so they don't have to make the system work. Last time I checked, I pay for the box that runs to download the on demand, so why they keep saying it's free I don't know. NO one ever mentioned a minimum requirement for internet in order to run the stupid DirecTV system. Shouldn't someone have told me this up front?

    I recommend highly you never go near DirecTV. At least dish network is a company that will work with you, but not DirecT. Once you're in their net called the "CONTRACT", you're pretty much nothing to them from that point forward. Good luck to anyone thinking of getting DirecTV. I could not in good conscience give anyone a card for buying service, even if that meant 100$ off my bill, because my friends would not be my friends any longer, I can guarantee you that. I would not wish DirecTV on anyone!
