I still have 10 months left on my contract with dtv, but I might still cancel and go without tv for a while; I'll be saving money in the long run. 10 more months with dtv; apx: $800.00. To get out of contract; $200.00. Savings over 10 months: $600.00...plus, you can stream a lot of current tv shows via internet.
if you got high speed internet you should get a roku cable box for your tv. roku is a streaming player. its the size of a hockey puck. roku has over 600 channels and roku keeps adding channels. you only pay for roku once after that its free. some channels you pay for if you want but most channels are free. go to roku.com to learn more about this device.
just got hit with this cancellation fee for switching to OTA HD, see mohu antenaa -- the free HD is actually better than via DirectTV. I also had no idea I had signed a contract. at least the cell phone carriers disclose the contract, which is really a contract of adhesion. The amount of $ is not enough to get really pissed, I guess that is what they are counting on. but as a class action -- see California -- and where are the Feds on this?? -- it is a lot of money.
So sorry to hear about your bad experience. I worked for the company that handles Directv calls for 5 months. It was a nightmare. I was ripped off too! Training was inadequate. Rules changed every day. Wasn't paid for all the time I worked and did not receive my sales bonus upon termination. Sales is the big focus and a new commitment is incurred anytime you add, change, or upgrade equipment! This should be disclosed to you at the time, but since training was inadequate, looks like you suffered!
@imtweetydiva29 ok this is MY last offcial comment.Really dish network?Im sorry but dish network sucks i mean really.They charged me like $40.00 more dollars for 3 more channels.Plus the satelitte was shit it would always lose satelitte even when it was a bright sunny day!
@ECGELSV This is my last comment to you & I will block you.I won't waste time debating you. If you like it fine. I am telling you the experience my parents had with them once they changed over to DTV. My parents &I had better things to do then waste time writing letters to the BBB&Attorney General!What's this they really don't get blue screen comment? I told you what I saw! I tell my friends to get anything else but DTV . You sound like a rep for DTV. News flash you can record with FIOS.
@imtweetydiva29 SINCE THE 1990'S!Thats crazy!Im not a "lucky" customer.My cousins have direct tv and they said it was good.My friends have direct tv and they dont really get blue screens.I had FIOS for 4 months but that was a long time ago and then i switched to direct tv.The main reason was because you couldnt record anything with FIOS and i was missing so many things on tv.
@ECGELSV And to add insult to injury when my parents cancelled Direct Tv they were still was running the service and billing my parents ! My parents&I wrote letters to the Attorney General&the BBB with their help we got that resolved. So good luck &I hope you never have a problem with them. I tell my friends to get Comcast Infinity,Dish Network or Verizon Fios but stay away from Direct Tv!
