I'm a happy directv customer, but the damn door-to-door girl made a good case for a switch. What do y'all think?

Service itself is fine. Unless you have an issue. Like I did. I spent somewhere around 3 or 4 hours on the phone clearing it up over about 7 or 8 different phone calls, because they couldn't get their shit together. Their customer service is a fucking bad joke. -
biggest problem that I have is that there is no contract...can be a good or bad thing.
Your rates will rise every 6 months or so (to the point of being well above contract rates for direct tv, but if you call and complain they have always lowered my price...
If you don't mind the hassle of that, the service is great and I haven't had any major non bill related issues in 4 years.Comment

It has a ton of great features that Dish Network doesn't have; however, the quality of the picture, even through an HDMI is sub-par at best.Comment

I have three teenagers and we have 6 boxes. The ability to record multiple programs and watch on any TV is what sold me. Overall I've been happy with but CS can suck at times if you need something fixed.Comment

If you're a smart consumer you will know the market on that product line and call them when they are about to increase your bill and tell them that you're going to switch if they don't continue the discounts they are giving you because "xx" company is offering you a much more competitive comparable package. Trust me, it works. That's the great part about not being in a contract.Originally posted by udrandman View PostComment

Also if you don't mind the audio going to auto "mute" about every 2-3 days. At&t Uverse is fine. Not to mention the freaking remote has a mind of its own. You push (4) and it reads it as (0) or (8). You push (MENU) and it reads (LAST) channel.....
I like that I can get Speed and Fuel TV now. Where we lived before, Charter, did not have either channel available. From what I understand FuelTV is not on Dish or Direct??? We have had Uverse for the last year and when we move, I don't plan to have Uverse. Bills go up way to often, system goes to auto "mute" way to often, and about the time you get a few shows saved (recorded) the system resets itself and it deletes everything you have recorded.

I like it... just the boxes are cheap garbage... ive gone through 2 so far and one of the boxes in the kids room the hdmi port dosent work. I just use co ax on his. They are 8/9 they with litte 20'' flat screens they dont need super awsome picture lol. But they usually ship a new one in a day or so.
I like the record and watch in any room, but kids will have every show on nick and disney recorded lol

Love it, my picture quality is awesome. Had a DVR box actin funny after several years and they replaced it with a newer more capacity one. Had one remote replaced after it wore out as well.
I would never switch to a static storm dish unless I just didn't have a choice.Comment

Fired Uverse and went to Direct and they gave me 4 HD tuners and I got the Media center which allows you to record 5 HD channels and watch diferent channels on the other rooms.
The only thing I miss about uverse is Not A Damn thing...Comment

I have been tempted to do this about 8 or 9 times...Originally posted by DFWtechie View PostComment

The "Hopper" system that Dish now has, is nice. HD and DVR throughout the house to all four of my flatscreens. Came out the same money to change it all out, too.
There's a pretty good thread on this in the "Media Room" forum.Comment
