Direct TV is a charlatan. I scheduled Direct TV through AT&T late January. I was told how wonderful my pricing of $80 monthly would be. I called AT&T within 2 weeks and cancelled both services because it wasn't working and I was billed over $160 by Direct TV. AT&T cancelled but Direct TV kept on billing me. I got the equipment late, returned it. Credit card is scheduled to be billed again in March. I called Direct again today. The first person said that there was a cancellation so I shouldn't be billed. Sent me to cancellation who "cancelled" it and will not return the $160 charge. Run, do not walk, away from Direct TV. They will take your money and claim there was no cancellation. Another Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves business. read more

Really wouldn't give them one star, but it made me! They couldn't give me this service for free! I had it and after a year or two all my promotions were up and they refused to help me to bring the bill down. They are more focused on attracting new customers then keeping the ones they already have. Not to speak of their sucky customer service! I CUT THE CORD! I found a internet service that has 24/7 live customer service, and they are SO nice and helpful . so I now stream, have a HD antenna, and pay less. I have 5 streaming services! Do yourself a favor.......do your homework before you get sucked in. read more

I have had Directv Streaming Service for 3 years. After the last update the system is garbage. The fast forward on the DVR jumps at 30 seconds and take 30 seconds to start to move. Before it would move at 15 seconds as fast as you could push the button. Also the service is hard to start. I started it 45 minutes ago and it still has not come on. If you call customer service they make the problem your not there's. Good luck at understanding the person you are talking to as well. Would not recommend this service to anyone. read more

LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS A company doesn't get so many consistent one-star reviews for good service. If anyone is considering using their services, hopefully, these consistent negative reviews will help you make a decision to pick another vendor. LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS Q - What happens AT&T when you outsource and off-shore your customer service department? A - You get a lot of pissed off customers that will flock to your competitors. I am now one of them. Despicable treatment by a group of totally untrained, uneducated, incompetent L I A R S First call 10/17 - This is where I lost 51 minutes of my life trying to explain an issue to their incoherent representatives. First Eileen who was totally useless. Then her 'supervisor', Jasmine who guaranteed me I would receive an email from someone on their tech team within 72 hours, Ticket #1-236907879796R2. It sounded far-fetched, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. 10/24 - As anticipated, no response. Called again and spoke with Sierra who again, was of no use. I asked to AGAIN speak with a supervisor. After waiting for 1 hour 27 minutes (stupid me) with her coming back on the line every so often to assure me that the supervisor was coming, she disconnected the call. I guess that was her way of letting me know that a supervisor wouldn't be coming after all. Right back at you AT&T/DirectTV. Tomorrow, it's my turn and I will be one to hit the disconnect button and terminate your services. read more

Should be zero stars! When I call a company I expect to get someone that speaks ENGLISH! Not a damn foreigner! Raised my bill by $10 saying its late!? Really it just became due so 2 days later you charge me? Customer Service agent took forever to pull up my account repeatedly had to tell her 5 times my number then tells me its wrong. I know my phone number and to tell me such a thing is out of line. Then I guess she said she'll send my information to her supervisor who will call me..... no supervisors around of course! Then gives me a smart ass attitude when I tell her i have no clue what she's saying and to give me someone who speaks ENGLISH! Horrible customer service and damn foreigners makes it worse! read more

This pos cable company is the worst. They are liars who have no ethics and I am glad to be among the many in my neighborhood who are cutting the DirecTV cord. I cancelled my service due to high costs for my senior budget, service problems during rain, no up to date remote--i want to talk to my remote ... I explained that I have no car and would need them to expedite the equipment return...oh no problem, I am putting through the order and will send boxes for return...yeah right...promptly followed by a letter telling me to get the equipment to a FedEx location... 20 years of DirecTV service from Jersey to Charlotte and the problems remain the same...can never get a senior citizen discount of any sort and if a discount is offered, I am exhausted trying to add the discount chore to an every 6 month reminder to renew it...stupid. So I've had enough! I need DirecTV to come get this equipment or send labels for me to put in the mail, or send a FedEx label for the equipment return, as promised during my cancellation. I have a confirmation number regarding this facilitation of equipment return...instead I get a threat letter about charging me hundreds of dollars if I don't return this equipment by a certain date. You trampled through my house installing these boxes, I have no problem disassembling and putting them in plastic bags as your tacky letter explained, but I need DirecTV to honor their promise of facilitation of return of your equipment. I just want to be free from DirecTV. HONOR THE PROMISES YOUR REPRESENTATIVES MAKE ON THE PHONE AFTER WAITING ON THE PHONE, TRANSFERS TO MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS, HOURS WASTED ONLY TO GET A FOLLOW UP LETTER NEGATING EVERYTHING THAT WAS PROMISED. I am absolutely livid about this simple solution to get rid of DirecTV service... For years i have complained that DirecTV is the highest bill in my house...for no good reason... at 71 years old I cant get any positive results from DirecTV about the promises they make, then promptly change their lies as soon as you are off the call... Please note that I was transferred to and had these promises of simple equipment return by THE LOYALTY DEPARTMENT... DIRECTV HAS NO LOYALTY TO ITS CUSTOMERS... OH and what about the DirecTV dish? No mention of removal... You are the worst... Subscribers Beware. read more

NEVER use Direct TV. They add services constantly "for free" and charge you for the trouble. Your bill will rapidly increase in fees, when you cancel what you never asked for in the first place, they'll force you to extend the contract. When you cancel, they will lie and tell you that you can return the equipment to a store. After you wait in an interminable line, you'll find out you can't return the equipment there, you have to go thru FedEx. All so they can hit you with additional usage time, as well as charge you an early termination fee. The whole company is a pyramid scheme. read more

The WORST company ever! After you finish your commitment and cancel the service they send you a box to send your receiver back. Then they send you an email that says you didn't return all their equipment. Another trip to UPS to send back more stuff they didn't originally ask for. Then I get a bill for $48.04, saying if I don't pay they will send to a collection agency. You can't reach them on the phone. There is some service call GETHUMAN which is supposed to reach Direct TV and that didn't result in a phone call I am forwarding all my receipts and tracking numbers to the Attorney General in North Carolina. I am being HARASSED! Should be a minus rating Avoid at all costs Rhonda K read more

I've had DirectTV for about five years or so. They have been great. When we had a box go out they overtightened me a new one with no questions asked. I have the protection plan and it is definitely worth it. The technicians have always been clean and professional. I moved and had to take DirectTV with me. Would not trade it for any of the other options out there. Only complaint is that they don't carry TheBlazeTv. Hopefully they stop giving in to the politics soon and decide to add this to their channels. Overall I have been extremely pleased with DirectTV and would recommend it. read more

Should be 0 star. This company is garbage, their customer service is garbage. I am a very respectful individual but this company I find does not deserve my respect. Customer service will have you running in circles after they connect you to one after another person. If you call customer service be prepared to be on the phone all day mostly on wait. People who are thinking about getting direct TV be aware, do not do it. read more

It really should be zero stars. The worst pay more for less, fewer channels. Reception goes out every time it rains, even the least little drop. You can't even get the local channels when it rains. Some times you can't even get the higher number channels in good conditions. They lied when I called to get Direct-TV, told me I would still be able to see caller ID on the TV. No, you will not be able to see caller ID on your TV. If they cannot attach the dish to your house there is an additional $75.00 charge to put a metal post om the ground and run the cable to the house. You still have to pay the $75.00 if they don't have to dig the cable into the ground, and you have to pay the $75.00 to the installer, they will not add it to your bill. Don't do it, Direct-TV is a waste of money and your time. read more

CONSUMER BEWARE!!!!!! I wish you had the opportunity for me to select ZERO. The product offers you nothing, it's all a farce. I CANT STAND WHEN A BIG COMPANY TRIES TO ROB ITS PATRONS. Cancelling the trial service is a total sham. AT&T says "You must do it online only" and the page is a total blackout. Deceitful practice no. 2. When you google search how to cancel since they've lied, the next step is a phony 3rd party closer who charges $35 to cancel your trial period. Directtv Now and AT&T are rotten to the core. Let's not let them get away with totally deceitful practices. It's unlawful. Let's make them pay for trying to rob us and get away with it. read more

Be careful with sign on for Direct T.V. they are lying about gift cards and quotes for monthly cost... very misleading... don't fall for it like I did because now I'm stuck with them for 2 years ... read more

Absolutely the worst reception ever...even with a hint of rain the signal is lost or too weak! Code 771 constantly, always resetting box, waiting and still no better reception! Has been like this from day one. read more

Worst decision I ever made switching to Direct tv. They never came out and put my satellite on the pole and cables were just running through the yard and over my shrubs. Finally when we started losing channels I called technical support and I was informed since it was past my 90 days I would either have to pay $99 or $7.99 per month for a technician to come out. For something they were suppose to do in the beginning! So I'm being penalized for not calling in time! And now I'm stuck in a 2yr contract! Worst decision ever! read more

okay so when I signed up with DirecTV the 2016 NFL season was almost over. The guy I talked to told me since the NFL season was almost over I would get the 2017 NFL Sunday Ticket season free. Lo and behold 2017 season is starting and I got a bill for NFL Sunday Ticket. I called them this morning and they were very rude to me, the first time I called I was hung up on. I'm highly considering going to Dish Network after spending an hour and a half on the phone to no resolution. I hate that it came to this because up until this morning I was happy with DirecTV. read more

Well, I've had nothing but great customer service with DirecTV. Everytime I've called its been english speaking reps located in South Dakota. I honestly have no complaints plus they blow TWC out of the water. read more

Absolutely the worst service I have ever had. Clouds, light rain and service goes out. Ipad apps don't work 1/2 the time and no way to fix. OH, and the price is same as cable after the initial discount rate. Do not get sucked in. read more

worst customer service ive ever experienced! I joined directv because I was threw with time warner cable. I explained to directv that I as moving in 4 months and asked if it would be a charge to transfer my dish to my new address. I was assured online that this would not be an issue, well its moving time and my wife has been on the phone for the past hour discussing this with a representative that all they know how to do is apologies and do nothing. I WAS LIED TO! Im not very happy with my service so far. I DO NOT recommend Directv to anyone. read more

I called and was transferred to 5 different people... yes- FIVE different people, given multiple telephone numbers and still never got any resolution for my simple remote replacement. I still have no remote and I'm no better off having spent the better part of an hour on the telephone verifying and re-verifying my own information to each new representative. I even heard a recording tell me that I owed over a thousand dollars on my account as I sit with a current bill in my hand that states I owe zero. WOW. I gave up and will simply cancel services. Who has the time or the patience for this?!? read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! I have had this service for over 10 years and NEVER had so many issues! We recently relocated to Charlotte from Arizona and we were charged over $200 to move service to an apartment while we wait for our new home to be built and an additional $200+ to cancel service in Arizona. We explained that this was a temporary address and that we do NOT want to be charged to move again when the new house is ready. We were told that we wouldn't be charged to move the service and "not to worry" about it... NOT THE CASE! Not only are they charging us another $200+ to move service to the new house but they're refusing to come take down the dish as promised! Unfortunately we are locked in a contact with them otherwise I would absolutely go with someone else! The service is sub par and goes out frequently. DON'T GO WITH THIS COMPANY... RUN!!! read more

Direct TV has the worst service ever. I suggest that you guys save your conversations with the customer service and post them online so you can prove to everyone else how these people try to scam everybody else. I save all my transcripts when I talk to online agents. They say one thing and then turn around and do the other to make a sale. I have to call customer service every month to keep up with my bill. And it's always higher than what it's supposed to be. Do not accept they're services, They are scammers. read more

Currently it is raining. Everytime it does rain I lose the connection. I pay over a 100.00 for this service and it really does not deliver. I am going to obtain a digital antenae. I can't believe they actually charge people for this poor service. A set of rabbit ears with aluminum foil would work better than this piece of crap. Do not consider buying this.... 'b read more

I have been a directv customer since 2007. I have paid for the upgrade service for several years. I recently bought a 4K LG OLED. I had been eligible for an upgrade of HD receivers for at least a year. I waited to upgrade until I had the new TV. I called DirectTV to get the upgraded Genie equipment. My house is heavily ethernet wired and I know that is preferable when possible to wireless. The DirecTV rep I was talking with didn't even know the Genie had a wired option. I found that on the internet while I was talking to her. They then failed to send 4K compatible boxes. When I caught their mistake they refused to fix their mistake because the technician had left the premises. I had to pay another $150 to have them come back out to fix this problem that they caused. read more

Should be 0 stars. They do not care about their customers and continually fluff up the bill. They also put me in another contract without my permission and have since doubled my bill. If I try to cancel they will charge me a cancellation fee. I am paying 3 times more than a new customer. Please be aware of these unethical business practices!! read more

I really wish TV/internet companies would just give you a flat rate and not change it after so many months or years. I got one of their packages thinking I was getting Genie free. But my internet was not installed and told I could connect Genie myself. However when tried to do it a month later, found I needed another piece of equipment for $25.00. So I just cancelled. Have never found a company I like and was hoping they would be different. The guy, Craig who installed the dish was helpful. But about all I can say good. read more

I have had DIRECT TV that has been taken over by ATT. They are horrible.!! IN one day the CUSTOMER SERVICE CALLED ME 6 TIMES trying to SELL me something. I REPEATEDLY told them I was not interested and QUIT calling me!!! NOBODY reads notes on the accounts. They are very deceitful. Not recommending to anybody They are not customer service oriented. read more

I wish I could rate less than 1 star!!! Scheduled to have my service installed on Oct 2nd and still they have failed to hold up their end of the deal and its Oct 12! Cancelled service and signed up for Dish.. Don't waste your time with Direct TV read more

DirectTV is such a joke in their promotions. Be ware when you are told no agreement it is just month to month. Then also watch when you are given a phone company. I was given Windstream which ran line from my home down the street in the street. The line was cut then 2 days later Windstream came out and just reconnected. I had their services since April 2017 and July 24, 2017 Windstream showed up to put down fiber optical lines for service. So I left DirectTV and went back to Spectrum. Now DirectTV is saying I have to pay a termination fee when no agreement was supposedly established. Something has to be done about DirectTV mislead advertisement. Gracie B. read more

I had directv satelite since 2012. Service as for picture is good but dealing with all the foriegn customer service and their incompetence is terr ible. Now they've tried to sell me everything in the book. Now they advertise about having the first responder unlimited and more. They changed my plan and said I could go back to a lesser plan within so many days. Now told different. Twice on too occasions a manager was working on it and just of.yesterday said offer 300 to come back. The sales pitch is for the package plus dont forget the second year. She even added it up with tax. Got cc number and placed the order. I called directv per her request to give them my account information for the extra $15.00 off. Directv said that ended several months ago. I was on the phone yesterday for about six hours. So ATT sends text about free channels to stream. I call as it wont work. A guy from DTV now support is routed in on a phone call. He gives me 15 dollars off credits and free HBO to come back. Same issue as before the roku channels were changing on it's on and even back to the home screen for roku. Chatted with support and uninstalled and reinstalled. Was told it was escalated. I called back as Still couldn't watch show. Get to chat with support. One minute to review notes. Then asks me what's my issue. Wheres your sign. He wants to do same steps I ask him for my $70 bucks back. He says if you want a refund i could only get $70 back. Then i said I'd like to speak with a supervisor been working with them since about 6 pm. It was now midnight. I get a foreigner call the house as if he was a supervisor. He read notes trouble shouted told me what he wanted me 2 do. Then he says I'll have to escalate it. At this point i ask about the refund which happened right after purchase about 4 hours after dealing with incompetence. His reply you can continue to enjoy for the rest of the month. I ask for a refund again he says no refund at all. Now I had issues the last time and was reported. Still you cant record mcgyver. I reported that. Oh They wont let us. Well psvue, hulu live tv and YouTube tv will. In conclusion close to 8 hours in calls and texts ATT, DTV, and DTV now. The right hand and left hand doesnt know what to do. Constant sales speech and tactics and if you say no to discuss information with others for marketing I say No. It throws script. Then he tries to cell me a new line free phone. I tell them I don't need one. You can have two phones. I say why it's just me. What about internet? I say no what about my concern. Ok what can I help you with? I have been hung up on, call transferred to some Mexican hotline after several hours then transfered around. Then call dropped. Bull shot. Now some of this occurred on other of many calls. They lie, take your money and refuse to give refunds within minutes. read more

FRAUD!!!!!! Where do I begin. I am pleading for someone to listen to my situation, and to please help me!! Let me categorize the situation as having two discrete problems: 1) Being billed for services I never asked for or agreed to, 2) The worst customer service experience of my life today. 1) BEING BILLED FOR SERVICES I NEVER AGREED TO: Back story is this. In September of 2017, I decided to switch from Verizon to AT&T for my mobile phone service. I went to an AT&T store at my local mall, and began the dialogue with the Store Manager. The package he offered seemed good enough to make the decision to switch from Verizon to AT&T. On top of it all, he offered to "throw in DIRECTV for only $10/month!" I never watch basic cable and "cut the cord" years ago, but I thought hey, for $10/month, sure, sign me up. We switched our phones over, and everything was fine. We then received a call from DIRECTV to setup the cable service, which we assumed was the next step for the $10/month service we were offered. So we scheduled the appointment, they arrived, installed the cable boxes, and life went on. We never use the basic cable / DIRECTV, but again, I didn't think anything of it for the low cost. That is until I received an email this morning saying "YOUR SERVICES WILL BE TERMINATED." So I immediately opened the email, and saw that I apparently owed $250 for DIRECTV. Well that didn't sound right ... I was under the assumption that I since I had been paying my AT&T Bill on time each month, that I shouldn't have any outstanding bills, much less something as large as $250 for something that should have cost only $10/month! So I immediately called customer service (I'll get to that in my next point below). From talking with representative, apparently they were able to find evidence of the $10/month promotion, but that was only for an online streaming service (DIRECTV NOW, maybe? ... I don't know, as I've never used the service). But that the in-home service was $55/month (and would be more when that promotion ended!). HOW DID I GET SIGNED UP FOR THIS ADDITIONAL SERVICE??? Is this FRAUD?? Was is very concerning is that the AT&T rep ("Mike" was his name ... his boss was "Andrew"), no longer works for AT&T. Did he sign me up for something that I didn't ask for, intentionally? Or was this just some oversight, miscommunication, or mistake? Well, I would hope that DIRECTV customer service could help to find some of these answers. Which brings me to my next point. 2) WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE: I have now spent nearly 3 hours out of my day, trying to understand why I was billed in the first place for something I didn't sign up for, and to resolve the situation. I've had to speak to 5 different customer service reps by calling the 1-800-531-5000 number, they dropped my call once, no one could initially understand what was going on (they tried to cancel my Cell phone service at first??), and then when I finally asked to speak to a supervisor, things got really bad. All the supervisor did was argue with me! They said "well, we've been sending you emails" as if that is defense enough for robbing someone of $650. I have never received, opened, or read any emails that would explain any of this. Again, my assumption was that I was paying my $10/month charge when I was paying my AT&T bill. Which is a fair assumption given how I entered into this who arrangement. And that I was never expecting to receive bills from DIRECTV! So any email that might have said "your bill is due", was irrelevant to me considering I was paying my bills through the online MyATT app (or so I thought). Whoever is reading this has to understand, there is no malice here or false intent. I never knowingly signed anything or confirmed receipt of these services at such a cost. And I feel that I have been duped into this situation! And of all people, I would think that your Customer Service team would be the ones to listen and understand the situation and work to defend the rights and perspective of the customer. My experience was the complete opposite. The supervisor was argumentative, completely dismissed my claim, said I owned the full amount (fine), and then proceeded to tell me that I owe them another $380 for terminating services that I never asked for! THIS IS UNJUST AND UNFAIR AND FEELS LIKE I'M BEING BULLIED BY A COMPANY TO FRAUDULENTLY STEAL MY MONEY! Please someone hear my plea. I'll continue to escalate this matter as far as I have to until someone can listen. Please let me know if I need to take this up to the DIRECTV Legal team. read more

Let me save everyone times and money. They will charge you for everything with out telling you anything until you call them after seeing your statement. Then they will make up BS saying you should of got the total package. If you don't but insurance and have problems when a storm hit. They will change you a 100$ every time they comes out. So save your money and go with some other company, like spectrum it's cheaper too read more

Probably worst company I have ever dealt with. Had a 24 month contract that involved numerous hour long phone calls. Each time because they raised my bill. After a year, I needed to even contact a security department to get my bill fixed. Assured once again it wouldn't change. Once again numerous months of hour long phone calls, each time telling me they fixed the problem. Till month 19 of 24, now they are no longer honoring my contract. Never again, Bush league operations AT&T are crooks. read more

Are you going to DirecTV??? If so, contact me for a rebate! You have seen the DirecTV ads for $10 off per month for 10 months, if you have a referral. So, if you are setting up a new service and are interested, just let me know and I'll send you the info for the rebate. Nothing to lose, $10 off a month to gain. LDELIZ@HOTMAIL.COM Thanks! read more

They are horrible service, we have ask many times to take the money out on the first of every month cause that's when I get paid, but every month they screw me over and take it out on the 15th, now I'm done with them if it happens one more time. Thanks for the over draft fees. Now I see why people were telling me to get direct TV. read more

This is the worst company ever! If you are moving to the Charlotte area or considering your options do not get direct tv! I hate to admit this but cable is better. Direct tv has outside contractors who do not value your time. On 2 occasions within a 9 month period I waited all day and no show. They emailed technician on the way and I also called. They make you sign a contract and every time you add or delete the contract renews. A bunch of BS. Also I was charged for protection plan without consent and then tried to use it- not. Apparently suppose to correct problem within 24 hours. How about within a week! All I can say is my advice to all- stay away from direct tv. A total rip off and no service! read more

DirecTV is terrible, especially living in Charlotte where there are frequent summer thunderstorms. We frequently lose the DirecTV satellite signal during storms. Dependability is much worse than U-Verse or Time Warner Cable. Their wireless Genie is junk and often loses the signal from the main Genie base. I get an error message stating that the satellite signal has been lost, even though the main TV is working fine. I would not recommend DirecTV in any area where there are frequent thunderstorms. It's probably bad where there are snowstorms, too. I will dump them when my contract is up read more

AT&T and direct TV are the worst service providers I've ever worked with. They have completely botched my order and after spending hours on the phone with them trying to get it right I finally gave up. Initially they sent out a technician who outright lied to me and did nothing before leaving. Then on follow up, they committed to getting me set up the next day and no one came. When I called they said the person the previous day never scheduled the appointment...then when I got frustrated the service rep got angry and defensive...so I cancelled my order. TERRIBLE - TERRIBLE - TERRIBLE. I will never work with AT&T again. read more

Signed up for DirectTV under a two year contract and a 2-year price guarantee. It's been exactly a year and my price just increased. I called and was told that they increased their prices in January and I told them that I have a guarantee. Obviously the company lies to people to get them to sign up. I will find another provider and will NEVER allow DirectTV in my home again. LIARS!!! read more
