To Be Brief, in my Opinion, they have lied to me multiple times and not followed up on agreements and promises made many times. I signed up with the promise I would receive 4K capable equipment at no extra charge or contract extension as soon as it was available. A few months later when it was available , I could not have it at first then later it would require a new 2 year agreement. I refused and stuck out the contract before considering a change. After the 2 year contract expired I have tried again to get 4k capable equipment but because I was promised it in the beginning I refused to enter another contract period. Rather than lose me as a customer twice they have agreed to do the upgrade without a new contract but failed to come through with the equipment. Believe me I have been careful about what I understood from them. When you work with even the customer retention department they say they cannot send a message or email confirming the agreement you have over the phone. Only standard messages can be generated by them was my understanding. With that in mind when the installer showed up of course again in my opinion I had been lied to as I could only get the equipment if I agreed to sign a equipment contract with a one year contract extension. We called in and what I understood from the person we spoke to we were put on hold for their dispute department. After 15 minutes or so later, still with the installer there and no answer on the phone we gave up. After the installer left, after no installation, I called in. Then I was told a urgent request had been put in to the Escalation Department but their department had 1-3 business days to return a call. When that passed I was told now it was 7-10 days. That is well past now. I cancelled my service with Directv on 10/8/18.I was told equipment return instructions would be provided within 48 hours if the equipment required return. No instructions came. I looked at the Directv contract and I was required to get the instructions or pay a penalty if the equipment was not received in a specified time. I called, got return instructions and returned the equipment. My equipment has never been great anyway. Pixelation is common, it sometimes freezes, costs keep going up and you have to complain every few weeks to get the "deals" they have to offer. It is just not worth it with them. Of courser this is my opinion and you may need to try it to come to your own conclusions. Just remember you have to sign a 2 YEAR contract that can cost $480 to get out early if not happy. They will claim to make you happy but you may feel the same way I do before you are through. Avoid Directv. I have installed an antenna for local channels and have Amazon Prime anyway and signed up for Netflix. I am seeing lots of 4K with them and some other great programs as well. I don't think I will really miss DTv. read more
