First let me start by saying that my mother has had directv with internet service for over a year now. My father has had the same service minus internet for about a year. First my mother, her internet is a joke! When im over there i cant even stream low quality YouTube videos. In both my mother and father's case, the equipment is complete crap! Within a few months the smaller receivers for the TV's completely quit working, you call customer service (India) suprising i know. All they have you do is constantly reset the receiver after a lengthy questioning they read from a script basically blaming you for not knowing how to operate it correctly. To this date, two of them have gone out at my moms and one at my dads. The software isn't even the same, my mother's allows mt to delete shows quickly after selecting multiple ones, whereas my dads must be done one at a time, usually resulting in the deletion of the entire series because the software constantly screws up. (Lost the entire series of big bang theory after trying to delete one season). The best internet speed they could offer was 700KBS, yes Kilobits. Once again, not even fast enough to watch low quality YouTube videos. We had to switch to Cox internet just so we could use our Netflix subscription. Try and cancel the service, well then they will actually try and make you climb up on your roof and unhook the satellite yourself or they will charge you for the equipment.
So just to conclude, crap for hardware, buggy software, terrible customer service, internet service thats a joke, and the best of all, threatening to charge you if you dont climb on your roof and disconnect the equipment yourself. Avoid this company and their service like cancer!!!! read more
