As for the fraud, you got me. It's either another company or very old issue or one of those news stories that got by me...
Get the TiVo and watch out for those deals from the local installers on the free boxes. Direct will charge you $4.95 for every additional box. You can get the boxes as back up or whatever just when you need them call Direct and there on within seconds.
The very cool thing with Direct TV is when you call them to add or delete stuff it is instant. You don't go through the whole wait a week to have some guy come install a fiter on your line...
Billing is automatic, they don't send a bill and want your CC number so I just gave them the AMEX so I can earn points  |
One more thing RedShoe, If you get the TiVo you are going to need 2 cable lines going to it. If you find an ad in the paper for the free install it's NOT. This guy comes out to my house ans start telling me about the ass ake going into my addict and wanted to charge a fee of $35 to run the cable. I said OK because I know what the addict is like and after an hour and not even started work he wants another $15 bucks. I am like fine just get it done. Basiclly after a ton of BS from him I ran the cable myself
This was the local contractor not Direct so with that said, RUN THE CABLES YOUR SELF before they show up
