anyone got directtv?
 

thinking of dropping comcast and going to directtv...(for tv not internet)

the difference in the # of hd channels alone is enough of a reason to switch.. not to mention a maxed out directtc package with multiple hd recievers is about $40 cheaper than what i fork over to comcast each month....

so anyone switch or just have dtv and have anything good or bad to say about them?

I have Dish but was thinking of trying DirectTV as my contract is up. Everyone who has DirectTV that I have talked to seems happy.

I had comcast and hated them with a passion.

I dropped them for DirectTV toward the end of last summer for viewing purposes. Have to have them for internet right now, as there are no other feasible options.

I love DirectTV. Love them.

When I initally decided I was pissed off enough to ditch comcast, I knew DirecTv was what I wanted, because of the Sunday Ticket. That is an awesome experience in and of itself.

But the rest of it is great, too. I had people tell me that I would regret it, but so far, nothing but good to say.

I had a professional, competent installer who did a good job, and did not leave any sort of mess after the install. In all the months I have had it, my signal has flickered twice, and that was in the middle of a torrential downpour with hard winds. It was a momentary thing, not like I lost signal for any amount of time.

I have had to call customer service a few times, mostly in regards to trying to get around the waiver for local channels. (I live in an area where they aren't offered). When I made those calls, I have had no hold time to speak of, have dealt with English speaking reps who conducted themselves in a professional, friendly manner.

I did have an incident recently when my HD dvr needed went bad and needed to be replaced. That incident was the fault of the contracted service provider though, not DirecTV, and it had to do with appointment cancellation. It did get dealt with though, with the region supervisor of the service provider calling me, and me getting a bunch of discoutns from DirecTV.

Were I you, I'd dump comcast and never look back.

:2 cents:

I'll never for the life of understand why anyone with HD would go with a cable company over satellite.... the picture is so much better with no artifacts, cable compress their signal so much, yuck

I will always be with Directv... (dish is fine too)

thanks for the replies... making the decision easy.

works great, even in crappy "southern sky" ...
