Directv-Is there a way that they won't try to screw you out of a few bucks?

TTinCO · May 24, 2008

Man, it never ends with these greedy MF'ers.

I don't even want to know how much they fleece me for a year.

Want a receiver? Sure, you can buy one for $100-500 from them. BTW, it will also be obsolete in 1-2 years.

Problem with your service? Sure, they'll come look at it for $75. They have to make a mint on that. I doubt they pay their outsourced sat tech flunkies any more than $10 an hour.

Want HD? That's another $5 a month

And the new one I came across today-Want to watch the PPV UFC 84 in HD? That's an extra $10 on top of the standard $45 gouging.

I hope somebody runs this company over like a freight train

:finger: FU Dirctv :finger:

They were great because they came out with the first small dish but they try to squeeze every dollar they can out of you and we have many choices now.

That's a new one to me. Were you using the same receiver 2 years ago?

That maybe why. Maybe you changed receivers and someone else bought those movies?

TTinCO · May 24, 2008

Cute-that's a new one, but not surprising in the least.

For months, I had an "on again\off again" problem with my signal that never made any sense. I spent countless hours on the phone with their dunce tech support reading off a script.

I finally said screw their approach & within 30 minutes had figured out that one of the inputs on my receiver had died(something they had never come close to even mentioning over the course of several support calls).

i'm now using dish, couldn;t take directtv anymore

Brock Landers · May 24, 2008

I LOVE DTV, have nothing but good things to say, complain to them, they will give you free shit left and right if you feel you've been ripped off

JakeT. · May 24, 2008

I will never switch back to DirecTV. Horrible customer service. Worst I've ever seen.

BadCo · May 24, 2008

Well I have Dishnetwork and not having the MLB package is killing me this is year two of not having it.

I wanted to get Direct tv but wife is dialed in on the dvr stuff she fights me and I let it go as I've read this shit on here time after time.

FYI from having a pirate box in past I could give a shit about the NFL package as it makes my head spin,if only the NFL was set up like NCAA football(time intervals) then maybe.

TTinCO · May 24, 2008

:lol: You can't make this shit up.

For some reason it wouldn't let me order it from my remote, so I ended up stuck on the phone talking to a machine to order it....and the greedy motherfuckers wanted to stick me with a $1.50 "phone order" charge.

God damn-fuck this company. They make Microsoft look like a saint.

patswin · May 24, 2008

guys screw dtv and dish, buy an fta box and get it all for free. a good box will cost $150 and you will get everything

BadCo · May 24, 2008

Can't you order online?

TTinCO · May 24, 2008

Hmmm-never tried online.

Exactly. The second I find out I can get it somewhere else is the second I am gone from Directv

gatorhater · May 25, 2008

I have had DTV for 2 months now and have yet to pay...they give so many credits its unreal...100 bucks just for being a few hours late to install.

The reason you get charged for HD is because your package is weak, step it up and its free(and still cheaper than cable

1cheater · May 25, 2008

Don't forget their computer "glitch" that charges you for NFL ticket even after you cancel it.

Good boxes are a little more than that, but its the best option right now.

All the games are available on a local channel, so if you get the locals you can get the games. Sometimes its a hassle, but you can usually find the channels. All on FTA
