DirecTV Reviews

Totally unacceptable and extremely frustrating
Some form of Major Problem occurred over night from 6/7/10 - 6/8/10. All remotes stopped working on all DVR Receivers today.

Major difficulty getting through to technical support. It took over two hours just to get into the phone queue then on hold for over 45 minutes just to find out "there is a problem, and they are working on it."

Someone did something over night that disabled all the remote control devices from connecting with their respective receivers. Can't change channel, can't see any programs previously recorded and can't record anything new!

Totally unacceptable and extremely frustrating.

Little to no response from technical support.

Waiting for a supervisor for over 20 minutes and counting...

Why should anyone continue to do business with DirecTV???

Stay with your cable company, avoid DirecTV
I have been a direct tv subscriber for just over 4 months, I have been on the phone with customer care weekly about reception, did not know I would have to reset my box every few days.. Cant get out of the contract with out paying a bunch of money.. I live in a great area for weather so it is not a issue, one day, no reception, the next bad sound..Stay with your cable company, put up with the price. .

They are legally stealing from hard working citizen
OMG...I thought I was the only one. I have been a faithful subscriber for three years with few small problems. My direct service had never been interrupted until recently. My next bill was due two weeks after the service was interrupted. I had to pay for the month I missed and the new bill that wasn't due yet!!! $300.00!!! That was on 3/12. On 3/24 the new bill came out stating that I owe $268.00. Now they say I owe $40.00 for a pay per view that I ordered in 2008 in which I did not. My service had never been hooked up to a land line because my house uses cells phones. We don't have land lines. They said that I did in 2008 (this is now 2010). My husband and I have lived in this same house for over 10 years; we have had the direct tv on the same tv's. Then thay said that I had to pay for the month that I had already paid for. Although I only owed $140.00 when my service was interrupted, I paid $268.00 but they said the extra money for for fee's!!! What in the malarky type of mess is that!! They are legally stealing from hard working citizens!! I closed out my bank account, called charter cable, and dismissed direct tv. I was a faithful customer, never missed a payment in three years until recently...they are the ones too lose out!! Just don't do it if you read this while making your decision! check the bbb, I did report them.

Rip off, do not order DirecTV
I will begin with the service, I was a long term, loyal customer and started having a lot of problems with the reception, one rep actually told me to go out and purchase new connectors for the back of the old equipment(my contract was up years prior to that)---I then demanded updated equipment(current equipment=8YRS OLD)---THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME--I then canceled my service, they did not want any of the equipment back, states it was too old (MY POINT EXACTLY), and they were not using that equipment anymore. It took many calls to get refunded for the service time not used. To support my decision in canceling the service-- The grounding cable from the satellite dish(no longer in use), fell to the ground, but is still connected to the utility pole. A inept supervisor(and I use the word super lightly)informed me that the cable is my property and now that I am no longer an active customer, it would be my responsibility to get someone to remove the cable from the light pole. If I was still a customer it would be removed only with a fee---RIP OFF---DO NOT ORDER DTV.

They tell you one thing and do another
WoW! Where do I start? I will make it fast and sweet. They will try everything in their power to get all the money they can from you. They lie to you from jump. They say they have no one over them, which is a lie. They tell you one thing and do another. Direct took money from someones bank account that was not on the account with Direct.

How can they spend so much on advertising and new customer discounts but nothing to retain customers
I have had a change in my income i called and asked for a break in programing price and was only offered more channels at a discounted rate, my goal was to receive same programing at lower cost seeing i could cancel and switch to dish and would be considerably cheaper, only after calling to cancel was i given a discount but then i lost some of my channels all i got was less service for less price, i have paid them over 8, 000 dollars in the past ten years, how can they spend so much on advertising and new customer discounts but nothing to retain customers, i wouldn't recommend direct tv to my mother in law.

Shady contract practice and poor customer service
I was a loyal customer of DirecTV for over two years. About halfway through my contract, I upgraded a standard reciever to an HD one. I was not told that this would reset my contract.

I decided to switch to AT&T U-Verse due to better cost and functionality. When I called to cancel my DirecTV account, I was finally notified that I still had 14 months on my "new" contract, thus would be charged $280 for early termination.

To make things worse, I was treated very disrespectfully by a customer service supervisor. His name was Mark and he basically wouldn't shut up long enough to let me explain my side of the story. It will be very difficult to return to this company for service.

They can't get anything right with there billing
I would not recommend Directv to ANYONE!! They can't get anything right with there billing. They have done nothing but given me the runaround when it comes to discounts I'm supposed to receive. I call they say they'll take care of it and yet don't. One person says one thing, the next person says another. THEY ARE HORRIBLE. I have had to call EVERY MONTH I've had them in order to get my credits and get my bill right! WHAT A JOKE AND WASTE OF TIME. I went with them because they are cheaper yet SO NOT worth the time and aggravation. ALSO when you call to sign up you have to jump through 50 hoops to get anything done. I was on the phone for 2 hours. UGH!!! SO NO TO DIRECTV!!!

The real crime is the deposit that should be refunded is actually non-refundable
I signed up for Direct TV and agreed to a 2 year contract. Direct TV told me I needed to give them a credit card so they could charge a $250 deposit in case I terminated the contract early. This depended on your credit score which I thought my 802 credit score would suffice. Direct TV told me that I did not qualify and the deposit would be charged.

2 years and 3 months later I sold my house. I called Direct TV to cancel the service and the representative asked me the reason for cancelling the service. I told him I fulfilled my contract obligation and I just wanted to cancel the service. He told me, "in order to make this a pleasant experience, you will need to give me a better reason." I responded by asking him if he was threatening me. He repeated his coment. After 45 minutes I hung up on him and called back to finally cancel my service. I got a similar arguement from another representative but he finally agreed to cancel my serivce. I asked for the service to be cancelled on Jan. 28th and they cancelled it that night the 24th.

The real crime is the deposit that should be refunded is actually non-refundable. Has anyone ever heard of a non-refundable deposit? I don't think you can legally have such a thing. Of c0urse I am not going to take the time to sue Direct TV, but I thought everyone should at least know that Direct TV is morally bankrupt.

Never again would I do business with a Co that cares only to get you on contract
Called Direct TV in Jan of 2010, they lied at every step... told me they would bundle my current phone and internet with their service and told me the price, told me I could sign up for HD at an extra $10.00 a month and then cancel if I did not want HD... all lies, now I am told I can pay them hundreds of dollars to cancel if i do not like that they are charging me more money than they quoted over the phone... or they can "sell" me a different receiver so that I am not charged for HD... again a lie, they tell you that they "sell" you there devices yet it is a lease... I have contacted the WA State Atty Gen who are well aware of these illegall practices, Direct had a class action against them in CA, actually more than one, and lost... lets get together and shut these lieing robbers down... Add to this that they took many attempts to even get the 2nd TV to work, did not call and set up repair service as promised, and I will have paid close to $500.00 for ONE month of crappy signal, and resetting receiver... NEVER again would I do business with a Co that cares only to get you on contract, they welcome you to "the family"... run, cuz they mean "the family" like the movies about the mafia... once they got ya it is gonna cost ya... thiefs!
