    Canceling DirecTV

    Anyone else losing D* tonight. Trying to watch NCAA football and all I get is searching for signal. Tried reset, unplugging and on-line refresh but, no luck. The weather is clear and no recent storms. What gives? Time to drop D* as their service is bad and expensive.

    Sunday ticket issues today

    Isn't Sunday Ticket leaving D* for Youtube TV? There is only one Sunday left this year. I get most of the games OTA anyway.

    Retention? More like rejection!

    This will be my last month on D*. They have done nothing to make the situation better and the receiver is acting weird (losing channels and multiple same channels). Bye bye D*.

    Retention? More like rejection!

    Yes, I held out as long as I could. My h20-100 had an OTA tuner that the new receivers do not. This allowed me to send the OTA and D* thru the same line (used a diplexer to separate signals). I get about 90 channels OTA and watch more OTA than D*. Only watch about 6 channels on D* that I can...

    Retention? More like rejection!

    Today I lost all of my local channels. The Programming Alert said "Your current SD equipment no longer supports this channes. But don't worry, we have replacement equipment for you - at no additional cost to you!* (conditions apply)" Well I spent an hour trying to get D* to honor the no...

    Here's your annual Directv price increase 1-23-2022

    I changed my package a few months ago to reduce costs. Now D* has deleted a couple of channels and increased the monthly fee by $7. I would drop D* altogether if I had internet services and could stream the few channels I do watch (mostly sports and news). D* is not the value it once was and...

    Here's your annual Directv price increase 1-23-2022

    I changed to a less expensive package a few months ago. Now they have dropped a couple of channels and increased the fee by $7. I would drop D* all together if I had internet services where I could stream the few channels I watch (mostly sports and news). D* is not very good anymore in my...

    Does anyone know when the Channel Master rotators are coming back (at least approximately)?

    It still says unavailable on the CM website. Did anyone every get a CM rotor?

    FOX43 in PA constantly glitching.

    I have D* but do not get the local channels. I used to get all of the local channels OTA (except for PBS33). So I never got the D* local channels. I live about 15 miles south of York, PA (Fox43). I used to get a very strong signal for Fox43; however, last year with the repackaging of the OTA...

    Price increase greetings from the Deathstar

    It looks like using a streaming service (Sling or Hulu) can provide the channels I want at roughly half the D* price. My issue is that I do not have internet options (only Hughesnet). If I can solve the internet issue I would leave D* (This from a 25+ year subscriber).

    AT&T drops DirecTV and U-verse prices, looks to slow declines

    So I've had D* for 22 years. Will I get a discount? My bill just went up another $5 to $101.37 for Total Choice (no locals). Started out as $31.79 and as recently as 5 years ago (2014) was $74.02. So it took over 17 years to go up $42 and then 5 years to go up $27. I now get fewer channels...

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I checked with AT&T. There is not coverage in my area. I am not in a remote area, but I am in a hole when it comes to internet and cable coverage. I do get great OTA!

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I get my locals OTA. I get over 70 channels and subchannels OTA. I would only get 6 local channels thru D*. I do not need the locals thru D* (saves $3 per month).

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I have Total Choice - no locals, no HD, no premium. It is over $96 a month for 2 receivers. I started out at $29 a month. So it has tripled since I started and actually I now have fewer channels (most of the channels are crappy shopping channels - does anyone even look at hose any more?) I...
