There customer service told us after being with them a year that we do not meet there standards as a customer and need to go to art. Our bill doubled even after perfect payment history. We went to at t and can afford tv now.

I have been trying to schedule a follow up service call for a week. The problem was not fixed the first time. I have been a subscriber for many years and I believe my calls to them are being deliberately blocked /dropped. AT&T has ruined a once excellent company.

I was first put on hold by a rep that was supposedly getting a manager for 30 minutes. I never spoke with the manager. 2 reps snapped at me. I was transferred so much i spoke to 8 people. 2 of those people gave me false information about a department that doesn't exist. It took me 2 hours to cancel my service.

DirectTV added services and multiple charges to the bill without knowledge of account holder. DirectTV would not take the charges off his bill, said they could only apply a credit to future charges of the account. Since I wanted to close the account immediately, giving a credit for incorrect charges

One of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. They billed me for $900.23 in hidden charges in the fine print. Manager lied about charges. Customer service would not answer questions. I was told I should have read the fine print closer.

Was lied to at sales and promised a channel that ended up not being in the package I bought without ANOTHER package added. Then lied to two other times about possible solutions only to ultimately have to purchase additional package for channel. Seems predatory to me.

I have had Directv since 2003. Always been happy with them, until AT&T bought them. I have never liked AT&T , they are liars and don't care about their customers, never have. I'm so close in telling them to take their service and shove it, like I did with their phone service about 10 years ago.

The only reason I have Direct TV is because I have a RV. Now that AT&T has taken over, my Direct TV doesn't work unless I pay more money. Now they say I can't change my location. Why does AT&T sell Direct TV for an RV if I can't move it. This is typical of a AT&T business venture - it doesn't take them long to ruin a good thing.

Nothing but trouble with the remote. Asked them to stop all the movie channels at the end of billing cycle and they stopped it that day. One year over and the bill goes up $40.+ Back to movie channels same old stuff over and over. I will be leaving soon.

Horrible service. The wind blew I lost my signal, it rained I lost my signal, it snowed and I lost the signal. I even paid monthly for the maintenance fee. They were rude and insulting. I finally got rid of it and went back to cable, paying about the same and getting more channels and services.

After one year the price goes way up and if you get another package you only get commercials and things you don't even watch. They also charge you very steep if you cancel before the contract is over. I would never refer anyone to Direct TV.

Direct TV sucks !! Every time we have a sprinkle of rain the service is disrupted. Can NEVER get a weather alert because service is lost at any event preceding the bad weather. HD comes in and out for no reason. Can't wait for FIOS to come to our location.

Wanted to charge 100.00 just to come out to see what was wrong with my reception. Not to fix anything just to have a service man come out. Now even cable screws you for your internet time if you stream. FCC where the hell are you and why do you let this crap happen.

Nothing but garbage. You claim you are the best at customer service and you will not even take care of problems that we have with installation, not to mention subpar equipment. Never recommend this company to anyone, you do and you will turn your friends into enemies.

I subscribed to Direct TV. Worse mistake ever made. It is nothing but a scam I was misinformed about free movie site so did not get to take advantage of that. The form for another offer was received too late to be any good. I reported Direct TV to consumer reports.

Everything was great until my bill started getting higher and higher. Customer service was horrible and needed service done in my home and they wanted to charge me for someone to come out. So I canceled the service and returned the equipment. Now there billing me over $500 for equipment I returned. Very disappointing.

Although the product is very good, it is offset by extreme incompetence by the installers and by both customer service and their billing dept. For example, I cancelled the service and returned the equipment before moving out of the area. Just over 14 months later Igot a bill for a year's worth of service plus late charges. It was a nightmare dealing with them. Stay away from them at all costs!

I had DIRECTv for almost 20 yrs. Great customers service and discounts. But when AT&T took over they went down to the trash. The customer service was rude. I told them I was having issues and they did not care. I asked them to explain the new charges that just appeared on my account, to no avail. I quickly disconnected my service and nothing to try to get me back after being a 20 yr customer with no late payments.

1 week into direct TV, 1 of2 tuners quits. Direct TV wants to charge me $150 to send a service guy out since I did not buy the service plan on THEIR NEW EQUIPMENT. NO F-ING WAY. Told them to send another box & I would install it. I am a retired electronics tech. NOPE! So I told them to send prepaid packaging to send back or 7th day its in the trash. 4 years of wrangling, ended up suing them for $5000 for drama charges in small claim court. Posted judgements on credit bureau and they gave up, but never paid.

If there is a cloud in the sky, Direct TV doesn’t work. My internet is constantly dropping and the tv goes out. A representative of Direct TV told me I needed to watch lower channels if there was a cloud coming over….WHAT?!? That’s NOT a good deal!

I've been a long time customer and I have always been happy with Directv. But, I don't really feel like their product is not living up to todays offerings. I think they need to fix their programing. TOOOOO many commercials on playback shows. I am actively looking for another form of tv.

Good product, however if you change anything about your service contract, like move. They re-set your total contract back to day one. I think ALL the fee's and taxes they charge are way to high, read your billing statement

Their service is nice when you live in areas with no cable the billing goes from affordable to astronomical within just a couple of months and then you’re stuck in a 2 year contract.

Too expensive for the number of channels you receive. Very deceptive and misleading sales when signing up for an account with them. Charges suddenly appear on your bill even when you have made no changes to your account. It's difficult at times to get through to someone without being on hold for a long time and employees transfer you to different departments multiple times. You have to repeat your name, telephone number, address, and passcode over and over before you can get help. I am going to buy a tv that allows me to watch any station free of charge and cancel my service.

If you ever want a great satellite experience that not what you will get. They have a great selection and packages to choose from. Beware though! They get you in a 2-year contract and give you a great monthly rate only good for one year. The rates go up on the second year.

Very expensive. We only have it for the sports. We would love the option of an internet based provider or an antenna. Due to our location, neither are an option. Directv does have good customer service. Service is just not worth the cost.
