So my wife and I were Direct TV customers for 22 years. We are currently trying to move our service to a new residence out of state. We kept our equipment and coordinated the move to the new place. But...we needed to change the install date at the new place. And when she called to do this everything went to hell. She was on the phone for nearly 3 hours with the call center in Indonesia, during which one person said the only way to do that would be to cancel the service then renew. I won't go into the gory details but it was like a dog chasing its tail, with the result that we threw in the towel and walked away from them. I've never, ever, witnessed such horrible customer service. Just be aware that if you choose Direct TV and have an issue that requires customer service, you'd better have a strong drink handy, or sedatives, to deal with it. read more
