I,m wondering anyone but me has had trouble with DIRECTV. I had them 3 days couldn,t get receivers to work ,no picture, rude service, lied about programming so told them to take they stuff out. I got a bill for $74,57 month programs and 473.28 for early termination. You lease the equip but you have to pay for any receiver upgrades or broken ones. If you buy 1 on flea bay and have it activated than its leasd and belongs to them. They take money out of your bank acct. anytime they want , making for overdrafts or isf. When you call cust. service you never get the same person twice and most cann,t speak english. They all tell you something different.
If you have had good or bad experience with DIRECTV lets hear about it. But I bet there are thousands of unhappy customers. What do you say.!!!

Reply to gypc, Yes I have had my problems with DTV. Once you sign up with them they have you right where they want you. I emailed and called so many times I lost track. Hours on the phone. A different person each time I called. I'm not sure they lied, but they sure do not know what is going on. They had me going to a site that was not open for information.
They even told the BBB that I had no complaint because this site existed. It existed BUT it was not accessible. I do not recommend them nor do I trust them. I avoid their site in fear of getting charged for something extra I did not want. I have six more months with them on a two year contract. MY advice is never give permission for Bank Drafts. Give them a Credit Card. If you have problems then cancel the card and get another number. I DID. I pay with Online Banking. I tried to remove the credit card but their software would not let me. That's when I canceled the credit card. Piss ON them.
