Okay but expensive. Can’t ever find anything I want to watch so I record a lot of shows. I would like to find some thing better and cheaper. We can only have three TVs on at one time which is inconvenient when we have company. We lose the connection a lot when it rains

High quality programming for the money. Customer support is very responsive. Doesn't take long to actually talk to a person. Had a tech out quickly for one of my boxes

I had DIRECTV service for a couple of years. Primarily took the service for their international channels selection. The service was quite good and the channel selection was extensive.

Direct tv has been notorius for changing the prices on the channel packages without notifying you. One month it may be the regular rate next month they added a hundred to your bill. Heck they even change your package plan without asking and pick your channels for you. If you get an americian on the phone well your in luck but if not dont dare ask for a supervisor. They wont let you talk to one.

Good satellite service. However, Prices go up every year so I call and get a loyalty discount EVERY single year…it’s worthwhile. This year my loyalty discount is $65 per month off the stated price.

Expensive after year one. Better options for the money available. Rates for me went up extremely high after my first year of service. When they debuted back in the 90's they were the best in the business. Now, with so many options, its not as price competitive to other companies.

I have had Direct TV on and off for years. They have their ups and downs. I like the guide. I don't like that On Demand and Movies require Internet as I only use my hot spot. I guess that is my issue. The picture is clear and for the most part I hardly ever lose service.

I was a customer for 17 years customer service was always very difficult to interact with. Getting any kind of technical help was next to impossible. Every time I tried to switch services to a different provider they always said you are under contract. Even though I never signed a new contract and only upgraded my equipment one time in 17 years. Would not recommend. Also continued to raise prices while providing less programing.

A very expensive service! 3 TVs with service cost almost $300 a month. The same 4 commercials play, sometimes two times in a row. Their customer service is good if you can get state side assistance. Directv is always willing to upgrade equipment or offer small discounts.

What I like best are the channel options and choices. What I like least is the cost. They have a great product, but they make you pay for it after the introductory offer. You can keep calling to get additional discounts but it is a pain. I also do not like to reception in bad weather and a dish on my property.

Satellite is not pretty but good function. Random program cancellation that are set on auto record. Will not record during unannounced programing updates. Lots of pixtulations on pictures. Sound is lost at times. Too many adds at bottom of screen during program which interferes with picture and the closed caption words. Lied about being able to move and just transfer service, had to sign up for a new contract for 2 years and was charged for installing dish.

DirecTV is not what it used to be. The value has diminished over the years and we opted to cut the cord for steaming services and an HD antenna for local channels. We get all of the same content for far less. Even paying for several streaming services, we pay about $30/mo. instead of $85/mo. with DirecTV. Same shows whenever we want for far less money. Cut the cord.

DirecTV has a good selection of channels. They're transmission is reliable except during snowstorms. The bad is their prices. They'll snag you with a great deal for a 2-year contract then, even before a year is through, they jack the monthly rate extremely high.

I have had Direct TV for the last 12 years. Whenever I have had an issue, someone is always available to help. Customer service is pretty good. The only issue I have is that they are still one of the most expensive. After all these years, I will probably change service due to cost

Dealing with Direct Tv was straightforward and professional. When AT&T took over the company I knew I was in for problems, because their billing has always been messed up. And, it was. From the start it was one price, and the next month a different price. Constantly changing and you couldn't get a straight answer from them. That's when I left them completely. You cannot operate on a budget using them.

Directv is great when it comes to some of their packages. I prefer them over cable companies. However, when it comes to the service, it can get spotty. There are times the tv will just glitch out for no reason. This happens on all 4 of our boxes. The TVs never do it when using streaming services or anything else. They have told us to replace the boxes with newer ones...that would put us in another 2 year contract. And that’s a bit shady for a company that huge.

Pretty good. The cost is high for the value though. They also partner with ATT to get you to use them more. Which has it's benefits, but also seems strange. There are a lot of cannels. It's good enough.

I started with Directv in 1995. They were great and the price was good. Now in 2020 they say I don’t have a clear view of the satellite and the price is way to high. I had no service for a month before they sent someone to check out the system. I was very sad they had become a not so good satellite tv provider.

DirectTV is one of the most robust TV satellite on my list and dish channels are not normally as reliable as cable channels. It has many added bonuses with a lot lower type of plans compared to FIOS and Xfinity.

I have not had any negative interactions with company. They currently my service provider since January 2020. The quality of the service is not great but doable. You must internet to watch previous shows which utilizes more of your internet. They also do not have a vast selection of movies on demand.

I love the service but the prices are unmanageable and only continue to increase. They show no benefit for being a loyal customer. We love Season Ticket for football and I wish that they would offer this without having a full directv package as we would definitely do that.

I had this service about 5 years. Every now and again I'd get frustrated with the raise in price, so I'd call in and get a short-term discount. But when that discount ran out, my bill went up higher than it was before. I tried cutting out programs, but they require certain programming in order to have DVR (at the time, a few years ago).

I signed up with one of their promotional offers and really enjoyed the service. The problem was when the renewal came up. The price jumped significantly. I went to cancel and they offered me all kinds of discounts but when the bill came it was not what they said so I cancelled. Direct Tv is good but not worth the price and the hassle.

Directv used to be my favorite delivery system to watch and enjoy television; but they have gone downhill since AT&T acquired them. The customer service is there to answer calls but not help the customer. The service is EXPENSIVE for what you get. I finally joined the millions of other people cutting the cord and purchased a ROKU, which has been fantastic and free after buying the equipment on Amazon.

At first, the service was great,but when my 2 years contract were over, they did not do a follow up to keep me as their customer, and, the price jumped very high. Therefore, I called the loyalty program asking to adjust my bill because it was very high. They did decrease it a bit, but at the same time, they took away many channels from my original programming. The fact of the matter is that they did a horrible follow up work. Any new customer who commit for 2 years is given a better treatment, but once they got the customer, the good service stops. I am ready to switch out and maybe use Dish Network.

DirectTV service technicians are good but when calling to try to get answers regarding installation times, charges, bills, etc. , the service is very bad. I was put on hold at least 5 times and directed to several customer service agents and no one seemed to be able to help or even try to understand the issue. In some cases there seemed to be a language barrier. Also some of the confusion is between AT&T and DirectTV customer service. Very confusing and frustrating.

We used to have DirectTV, but were priced out of their service. They also didn't offer RedZone which is essential for football season at our house. We were not impressed with their customer service, they don't seem to care if your having problems or not. We don't feel that what they offer is worth the price that we paid.
