The sales rep was very nice and made sure I got what I asked for and she gave me a little more. So I forgot your name, but thank you.

I called to cancel my account after 15 years of service due to the fact that I had to move. I was told that if I would like to start using DTV again I should just suspend my account so that I could keep my long-standing relationship. So I did that and moved. Almost a year later I got a $250.00 charge on my credit card that I did not authorize and never paid DTV with a credit card. I am not sure how they got the number. I called and was told that service was turned back on and that I was responsible for the charges. I told them that I never received the service, I do not have a dish, etc., and did not authorize them to bill me.
They said it was automatically turned back on and the fact that I did not have a receiver or dish and was not receiving any service was irrelevant. I was on the phone with several people for over 2 1/2 hours and did not get a resolution. This after being a customer for 15 years and would have continued to be as soon as I got my living arrangements worked out. I never missed or was late with a payment. Not only did they act unprofessional but billed my credit card without authorization. The credit card company is investigating this as fraud. I will NEVER use DTV again.

My only concern is the 2 year contract. First year at a low rate and the second year rates increase significantly. AT&T rep kept pushing saying that I could negotiate my rate for the second year. Talked with several people who had DirecTV and said they tried to negotiate their rate and were unable to do so. Why should customers have to negotiate?

DirecTV has certainly figured out how to keep their customers roped in. I got service almost a year ago, and got two boxes. First issue I encountered was that I needed to move a box to another room. Called DirecTV and they proceeded to tell me that would be $50 bucks. The technician NEVER mentioned that. Then, when I wanted to bundle internet, I called to see about their plans. The prices they quoted me were more expensive than what AT&T was going to charge me for the same bundle. To keep their customers they will try whatever they can, but when I told them I'd rather just cancel they proceeded to tell me it would be $390 dollars. That is what I pay them every month x6. Way to force your customers to stay in a contract with your ** company.

I called sometime in the beginning of June to see my options for DirecTV. We were considering it, but not sure of the prices and fees. The representative did a great job explaining the service, the boxes, the DVR, and the internet agreements. We were considering getting DirecTV in about a month, but after talking with her and others we know who have it, we decided to go ahead and get it. The next representative I talked to was able to have a technician out to the house the next day. We had some tree issues and didn't think we wanted it on the house. We postponed it and then after talking to a neighbor, decided it might work on the house.
We called the technician and he said we would have to call DirecTV again. When I did, the representative was very enjoyable and understood what I needed and got the process going again. We had another technician come to the house in a couple of hours and he was able to install it. He did a great job in making sure that we could work our TVs with the remotes and understood some of the features. We have enjoyed our DirecTV for 3 days and I called today again regarding an issue and it was cleared up quickly.

Recent events caused me to get behind. They took it upon them selves to put me on auto pay, without asking me and charged 460.95 to my already empty bank account. This putting me into even greater financial debt!!! Overdrafts etc. Well I called and it seemed we worked it out. They gave me refund of less than half back and were supposed to turn receivers back on. One receiver came back on. The other 2 have not and the one wit the DVR won't reset. Called again and now they want to charge me 20 to send me a new one. I cannot afford this anymore! And the one in my daughter's room comes on but is blocked? Now I'm being charged for nothing, no service. And all they worried about is getting their 2 year contract money. Can't wait till that ends!

For almost 2 years now my TV "searches for signal" in the middle of programs at least 4-5 times a week and about every couple months it'll just flat out reset itself and say "Hello! Your receiver is starting up." then go a few steps just to return to the same "Hello..." screen, at which point it takes days of re-setting and re starting to finally get it to work. On top of these problems, DirecTV has never done ANYTHING to help me or anything for me! Calling is pointless and you never get anywhere. I've also found that they get movies later than Comcast does OnDemand and if you don't have Internet through them there is no such thing as OnDemand viewing like other companies have (Comcast). It's by far the worst cable I've ever had and would never recommend them!
