For all you Haters, I have another Positive report. Have been a customer for less than three weeks. I already received a $200. pre paid Visa card and have had no problems thus far. I will admit, the menu on my 19" TV is hard to read, and the remote is a lot harder to use, maybe since I had another Co. for over 6 years. But the programming is great, Velocity is one of my faves. I wish to thank James, and all the others who helped to bring me into their family . I'm a fan of Direct T.V. ! read more

Direct TV what is wrong with you?!!!???. Im going to drop you like your hot. You entitled pieces of junk. Stop calling me everyday. Stop selling my information and using it to HARASS current (former) cs. That's the fastest way to lose my business!!!! Boy bye ​ read more

DirectTV is horrendous. I mailed back 2 TV oval black devices May 28. Two months later, this past week, they charged me $360 because they claim they didn't receive them. Before I returned them, they made me use the mail label in the ORIGINAL BOX from TWO years ago. Thank GOD I kept it. The label had a tracking #. In 2 months, I could have tossed the UPS receipt but my asst forgot to give it to me when he dropped off the devices. WHEW. I looked up the tracking # and it said DELIVERED. Before THAT, I stupidly left cox and went to Century Link who didn't mention that I would have TV thru DirecTV not them. I tried to cancel DirectTV (bad experience before), but DirectTV wants $480 to cancel. Wish I paid it. Two years before THAT, i had to pay $200 to direct TV to get out because I hated it. I went back to COX. read more

DirecTV is the worst satellite service anyone can have. Every day I get and start by rebooting my DirecTV box because the system freeze several times a day. I've had their service for decades, since 2000 when I lived in California and the service had continued to deteriorate. I several family members in California with the same service. All but one changed to a steaming service because the interruptions were so bad. I chatted with DirecTV on line service since my equipment is from 2018 and all they would do to help me was to recommend upgraded equipment at a cost. We're both on a retired on a fixed income. This service is ridiculous! read more

Brian at Directv lost us as a client after 25 yeas over $50. Directv doesn't care about customers or relationships but just getting every cent they can from anyone unlucky enough to be doing business with them. Do yourself a favor and get fire stick. Much more reliable than DIRECTV ever-changing monthly bill. read more

I disconnected my service and they said they were not going to charge me and now they took my money out. Not right now stars

I would give negative stars if it was possible. I've been a customer for years, and had a promotional loyalty gift offer. I tried to accept the offer August 14 and they said it would be available within a few days. I contacted them today, August 24, because I hadn't heard anything. Now they are saying it is not available and want me to PAY for what they were offering for free. I'm disgusted!! False advertising, promises broken, lying! read more

DIRECTV - This was the offer I received on my tv August 13. - Television Service Providers Near Me

So frustrating how you have to play the game with promotions! I have been a customer for 10 yrs. I am on a fixed income, and I don't know why they just don't have a fixed price that doesn't change! I called because my promotion is going to end so you talk to the first person oh let me give you someone higher up, then you get that person oh sorry nothing yet for promotions after they play the game of caring and putting you on hold to check. RIDICULOUS! So now I have to find another way to watch TV, since I will be leaving DIRECTV UPDATE Dish will lock in price for 2 yrs with 3 months free, Cox has a $20-dollar cheaper plan, Amazing all because DIRECTV has NO CUSTOMER LOYALTY JUST MONET HUNGRY COMPANY! read more

I had a seriously horrible experience with DIRECTV. I was going to sign up and I did however the Internet company could not hook up Internet to my house for over a week and I got this package with DIRECTV never hooked up DIRECTV but was billed more than $100 for service and it had never been hooked up? But yet I'm still being billed so I called and was told I'll receive a partial refund and then to cancel the service. I had to talk to somebody else and that person told me I'm going to get billed for the whole month until June and I had 14 days to cancel my service and that was two days ago however I did not even have Internet for seven of those days so how am I supposed to have connected it when I did get Internet? I still didn't connect it and I got billed for it and I talked to DIRECTV a couple weeks ago to cancel and was still billed and I'm being told I'm going to be billed so this is just horrible service and I guess I'm going to have to go through my bank for this one. This is absolutely ridiculous. I would never ever go with this company or refer them to anyone ever. read more

Here it is, months later, and DirecTV still has not provided us with an alternative to an NBC affiliated channel. It has been months since they terminated their arrangement with the local Phoenix NBC affiliate, and we still don't have a replacement. I have now missed dozens of NFL football games and now it seems I will miss more post-season games as well. You would think that with all the NBC affiliates across the nation, they would find one who can provide NBC channel programming for customers like me. At least they should discount my rate since they are in breach of contract since they are not providing the programming we signed up for!! C'Mon Man!! Get your crap together! This is so frustrating and moronic!!! read more

Poor customer service Money Hungry customer service.. They dip into your Credit Card Charges without Disclosing.. Charging me for lost devices with Shipping Label Provided sent back UPS. Direct Rip Off Company Thieves !!! read more

I finally cut the cord with Direct TV after 17 years. They lied and said they cut my bill down but failed to tell me they also downgraded my channel package. I started streaming with YouTube TV and love it. Bye bye Direct TV. It's been real. They want to connect! hahahahahaha. I've DISCONNECTED! read more

I just ran into an evidently recurring problem with Direct TV--charging undisclosed fees identified as a "credit management fee" on new accounts. When my first bill came this month it had this $199.00 fee on it and when I called I was told it was a fee they charged for running a credit check on new accounts. I pointed out it was never disclosed either verbally or in the written confirmation of order I received that specifically itemized all charges-- including the one time initiation of service charge of $19.99. I read on a forum that this fee relates to having poor credit, but I officially have an "excellent" credit score per the three credit bureaus so this should not apply even if it were the basis of such charge. The Rep I spoke with today said she could do nothing to resolve this improper fee and she refused to allow me to speak with a supervisor because she said she had been consulting with the supervisor during my phone call. This undisclosed fee issue is evidently common with Direct TV and my next step will be to search for class actions that have been brought against Direct TV for this or similar conduct. Switching from DISH TV because of a programming problem certainly was a mistake. I found DISH customer service was excellent and they valued their customers. read more

I cannot believe they say there loyal to the consumer what a joke 2 30 minute calls no resolution chat today no resolution terrible customer service !! I would even use them for streaming buyer beware read more

DIRECTV - The only thing Direct TV is loyal to is overcharging for trash TV - Television Service Providers Near Me

Up until March 2024, I had DIRECT TV in combination with services provided through Centurylink which I utilized for my Internet services. When I decided to move in January/February 2024, I contacted Centurylink on February 7th to cancel the DIRECT TV services since that was not an option in my new community. They not only made note of this but also connected me with DISH since those cable services were available. I moved March 6, 2024, and subsequently disconnected the television and did not access any DIRECT TV services as the television was moved to the new residence. In April, I received a past due notice from DIRECT TV. Once again I communicated that I moved, had no access to DIRECT TV in my new community and had stopped utilizing DIRECT TV service in March. DIRECT TV continues to ignore that I started this cancellation process in February. They say they can only see a single call in April and, as such, continued to send bills for services in March even though I received NO services during March. I attempted once again to get resolution to this issue today. What a horrible experience. The computerized system hung up on me! Staff was less than helpful and I got absolutely nowhere despite requesting escalation to a supervisor. Trying to work with staff and the supervisor, they were more worried about not looking at the customer's needs and refused to further elevate or remove the balance. I share this long story to articulate that DURECT TV is a horrible company that does not look at the customer or human factor in making company decisions. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH DIRECT TV - THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I DON'T OFTEN WRITE REVIEWS, BUT THEY HAVE MADE ME ANGRY AFTER SPENDING AN HOUR TRYING TO GET A $149.06 BILL REVERSED. THEIR ANSWER WAS THAT THEY DON'T DO THAT AND THE SUPERVISOR (MEL) WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT LOSING HIS JOB THAN BEING A DECENT HUMAN AND TAKING CARE OF A CUSTOMER. Terrible Terrible Company Avoid!! There are other options. I would give them ZERO stars if possible for the customer service, but that wasn't an option. read more

I've been a customer since 4-17-2011 & done movers connection to 5 addresses whenever I move however since ATT took over your service has SUCKED MONKEY BALLS I'm so fucking irritated that I can hear the football games but not watch them since 12-29-24. If I wanted to listen to the game I'd listen on the NFL channel on my radio. Your service SUCKSSSSSSS read more

Do not get stars thru direct tv. You will spend all day watching it buffer. I'm gonna dump dir etc tv asap. They suck and cost a fortune! Don't waste your money! read more

Just plain garbage. We cannot get our NBC affiliate because they don't want to pay the extra pennies, yet they raised our monthly service fee by $5. We have been subscribers for many years but have cancelled our service and will use someone else. read more

Do not, under any circumstances, get Directv. It is excellent...until there is a problem. Then, try to get any support. Save your time going to the lousy website. First, if you are lucky enough to log in...after being bounced between Directv and ATT a couple of times, their support could be better. Yes, if you have a specific GENERAL question, there is an answer, but I had a Phoenix-specific problem, and you can't get a human on the line mainly because no telephone numbers are given. And don't try going to the Mother Ship, ATT. If you get there via phone, you will be put into a loop when you click "support." It will ask you again whether you want sales or support. Click "support," and it will ask you if you want sales or support........ BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT BUY DIRECTV, or hope you never have a problem! read more

dIRECTV is horrible. I canceled my service after 15 years due to the high cost and constantly losing channels. I canceled my service in June and have a credit of over $100. dIRECTV assured me that I would be sent the money in a gift card and it would come in the mail in 4 to 6 weeks. It's mid September and I'm still waiting for my money. I've called DIRECTV TV several times and my account is supposed to be a "high priority" since I've been waiting so long. I spoke to a supervisor who assured me that I would get my money within the next few weeks. I doubt if I will ever see that money. I would not recommend DIRECTV to anyone. read more

ONE guy ( GOOBER G) gives 5 stars because he gets an expensive package! ROOKIE! Wait til he has customer service issues LOL!!! There has been no response from DTV on my email AND NO PRIVATE MESSAGE either on my email, so response from the owner who resolves nothing is typical of the customer service they provide. Be prepared to get the run around on the phone and set aside a good hour to an hour and a half on hold to only be transferer to someone in the Philippines you CAN'T understand ! IT ONLY GETS WORSE from there. GOOD LUCK and read the comment below so you can not get locked into the horendous nightmare me and many, many others are going thru. DON'T LISTEN to little joey he is the moron hater his mommy probably pays his bills and still dresses him LOLOLOL! :D read more

I've been a customer for 15 years. My price keeps going up and the service gets horse. I can no longer watch ESPN or Fox Sports without paying more money. When I call they don't listen. They tell me I could have channels I don't want and pay $12 more a month. It's not about the money, it's about being charged more and for less! Now I'm being told that I have to go to an AT&T store to cancel my service I will never use directv again or recommend them to anybody! read more

Just finally gave up and cancelled Direct TV. I have been a customer for YEARS!!! Communicating with this "communications" company is impossible. On June 18th I called and cancelled my NFL Sunday ticket. But did they cancel it?? Nope. They've been charging me every single month. I have spend HOURS, and I mean HOURS on the phone with this. Today, alone, I was on for 45 min and then disconnected....no call back. The second time, 25 min, disconnected...no call back. I finally just called back and cancelled my account altogether. They OWE me several hundred dollars but I am over a barrel with them. So frustrating. Who needs tv anyway. Just a time waster. And I'm tired of wasting my time with a company that does not take care of it's clients or mistakes. read more

Directv service is awful, never again. Best thing I did was canceling service. I can't believe I'm saying this but even Centurylink is better than Directv! They make it difficult to cancel, have to go through retentions team. read more

This is a dsysfuctional company that doesn't know what it is doing from one day to the next. I have the protection plan and should not be billed for replacement services such as remotes or defective receivers, yet they want to charge for these services. They don't listen to your concerns or issues and do exactly what they want. I have antenna problems in addition and they didn;t even address that. The receiver is 10-15 years old and now says it is overheating and turn off or a fire could be caused after only 5 minutes on. They want to charge to replace it. Excuse me. Why am I paying extra for the protection plan? Their people are all off shore and don't understand me. What is going on? 6-27-22 finally got someone and they still can't get it correct. now they are over billing me. and of course, you can't talk with anyone who understands the issues. all they do is argue with you. Why am i paying more now than yesterday. they keep adding charges for two units i am already paying for. what is going on with this company. i am about ready to go with someone else. this is abhorent how they treat 25 yr plus customers. read more

have had directv for quite sometime. don't know what i'd do without it. great for recording things i want to watch at any time. wonderful to come home to shows and watch/pause whenever i want. the subtitles sometimes are a bit off but normally good. they have always responded with whatever issue i have had. no complaints here :) read more

DIRECTV - Tuesday December 21st. Called customer requested credit was told a broadcast issue. The message states different. No credit - Television Service Providers Near Me

My dad had it a couple of years and decided to cancel. His password had been changed. I called in January and spoke to a customer service representative who told me his service address had been changed. In other words, one of their employees was giving free service to someone. I requested service cancelation and they refused because my father could not remember his security word. I was then disconnected. I called back and asked them to take notes and my number in case we were disconnected. They took it and we lost connection soon after. They did not call back. On April 1st, my dad found his security word and requested cancelation. Even though he wanted to cancel. They kept bugging him to not cancel and talked him into a different plan. Today, I called Direct TV and told them to cancel service. They told me it would be canceled as of the 22nd. I noted that the monthly service ended today and that he would be charged another 69.00 and after threatening to turn my attorney loose on them. They agreed to stop service today and that he was paid in full and owed nothing else. Fast forward 3 weeks. Me dad recieved an email from Direct TV stating that me dad owed $69.00 for opting out of his contract early. My wife spoke with a representative who stated they would not waive the fee and that he had to pay. This company is very frustrating to deal with and is bleeding my dad dry. read more

There's bad service and then there's DirecTV. We ordered service last Friday and got an installation date of yesterday between noon and 4 p.m. (A 4 hour window is ridiculous but fine, we played along.) At 3:50, we received a call from a dispatcher stating that our installation guy was running a few minutes late. At 6 p.m., we called DirecTV only to discover that they had rescheduled our installation to THREE DAYS FROM NOW without asking or even informing us. My husband spent about 30 minutes on the phone with a supervisor who insisted that there was no way they could rectify this (as in coming sooner). If things were this rough just getting started, I shudder to think what an ongoing relationship might have revealed. We are going back to Dish with our tail between our legs. read more

Worst ever from a customer service and customer support. Especially with all the alternates available with smart tv options. Today, I tried to add to more receiver boxes for older tvs I have. 35 minutes on (25 minutes on hold) the phone with an customer service person named Russell who did have a clue what he was doing, finally promise me I would be receiving 2 additional wireless genie receivers at no charge. An hour later I recieved an email from direct tv stating I was being charge $21 for delivery and only receiving one receive. Now I have to call back tomorrow and go through the process all over again. You Tube TV at $55 a month for the same programing may be looking really good! read more

AT&T has destroyed this once outstanding company. The service is HORRENDOUS!!!! This is what happens when a company has too big a market share (like DIrectTV does over satellite) and has a monopoly on a service (like NFL Sunday Ticket) - no incentive to innovate or provide competitive service for a competitive price. It's futile folks. DirecTV is no longer a viable or reasonable option. read more

Direct TV has lied on numerous occasions to me as a customer. I had upgraded and bundled with my at&t account to save money. I had their service for a year and a half I moved and had to pay $200 for reconnecting. When they came to reinstall at new home they said I can upgrade to genni 2 with no additional charge(I was billed $99)as some kind of one time fee. I am now moving again and ask to cancel service they gave me a total of $417.43 and I paid it in full. I went to cancel after payment and now they say i owe more money. I am so angry that they can lie on the phone and get away with it. I nore anyone I speak to will order direct tv again. They sell you on a deal that will cost far more than they are worth. Not recommended to get direct tv read more

Horrible customer service. You are connected to another country when you call. Useless. Once transferred to the US, you can get help. Installer is here. Wont hook up my 3rd room because my tv is not here and is insisting on taking and deactivating the box, even though I can move a tv into that room for testing. He cites AT&T policy. Now, once my Tv is here, I get to call again and pay for another install so my 3rd room has tv. How nice for DTV. Another fee for me. 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

I have spent more than 2.5 hours on the phone with various foreign countries trying to get DirecTV installed at our new home, Regrettably, DirecTV is the only TV service available in the condo development where we're moving. The first guy got everything wrong- the service location, the install date, the final price and my name. The next several phone calls trying to get things corrected got my name right- hopefully the price right- but the installation date and service address were still wrong. We finally determined that their scheduling system didn't work more than 30 days out. I called back for a 6th time today- 25 days before installation- they still have the service address as my old house and cannot change it to our new home. Why would I want service at my OLD house? Well, for some reason, they are unable to change it, but they THINK they have the new date right. But now it's bundled with Century Link for internet- that I don't need, didn't order and don't want. The customer service rep is trying to get me to her supervisor (been waiting 30 minutes) and is calling Century Link to try and delete the bundled service and correct the installation date and service address. I asked if it was always this difficult to try and sign up for service and she didn't know what to say. Cox doesn't service the new development for any services- I'm not sure why, but can only guess. You'd think that ATT could get this right? Absolutely the worst company I've every dealt with. I wish there were options, but there are not. Pushing 3 hours trying to give this company my business. read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE unless you want to sign up as a new customer then they are supper nice. We are moving so I wanted to cancel my account. I called, got the automated phone - could it be any worse? NO - said I had a account, it sent me to new account sales. They transferred me, I said I want to cancel my account they transferred me again, I said I want to cancel my account, I got disconnected. So I called back and guess what, it all happens again, same way. So I went on-line and did a on-line chat . Of course she is trying her best to keep me as a customer and they will transfer my account to the new house. BUT I have to remove the dish from the rental I am currently living in and it is my responsibility to recycle it. I can hire a out side source to remove the dish, Direct TV does not remove it and they do not want it. I said that was not the agreement when installed, they also want to charge me for several weeks of service after my TV is shut off. So why would I want to continue service with a company like this. I told them I do not want your product on my new house, we are no longer a happy client . In this day, no longer the 80's thankfully we have choices, and Direct TV will never be a future choice for our family. read more

I'm posting my experience here as it seems DirecTV doesn't provide an email to provide feedback and after my experience on the phone with them today I certainly do not want to call them again. First let me say I've had directv for years ... without much complaint or problem until I moved... Today I tried calling to set up my service for my RV. I had their service in my RV before I moved, but once I moved they upgraded my equipment and my RV receiver will no longer work. (which they never mentioned) I ended up call and being transferred FIVE time and hung up on before being told that the only way I can have it in RV now is by setting up a 2nd account. But even that information was painful to get as I mentioned being transferred five times and hung up on. I lost my cool and hung up on the rep. Called Dish and was helped in my first call and offered a solution that was affordable. I'll keep my Directv for now , since I had to have a new 2 yr contract, but I will be using Dish for my RV. and hope to hell I never have to call Directv again. read more
