I waited for the letter, and when it never arrived, I contacted DTV; they said they would send me the Reward Card, but they didn't. Longhorn23 said he had the same problem, so, as I wrote in another post: This looks more and more like the business plan of AT&T/DirecTV: fraud and conspiracy to...

See the post by longhorn23, above. This looks more and more like the business plan of AT&T/DirecTV: fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud.

Both times? Highly unlikely. And besides, I look at all of our junk mail.

Hopefully someone here can help me re: an apparent scam that DirecTV is running. In December 2018, I received a letter from DirecTV offering me a $200 Visa Reward Card if I signed up for service from DirecTV. So I called, arranged for service, and was told that I would be sent a letter with...

We live in a rural area north of Tucson, and most of the TV station antennas are on the other side of 9,000 foot Mt. Lemmon, so our TV choices are Dish, DirecTV, or the local cable company, which has limited channels, and apparently the system crashes occasionally. So realistically, our TV...

I might call retention before switching, but $900 in savings is a lot of money for them to offer me to stay with them. But as I tell people, "if you don't ask, then you've already told yourself 'No'". I'm also quite annoyed by Dish's HBO p*****g contest with ATT. I've signed up for streaming...

Dish's customer service is good, they seem to want to work with me, and they seem to be native English speakers. Would you please explain your comment about "DTV's now much posted about Billing and the fine print regarding that 2 year deal"? Now you have me concerned. Thanks for responding.

I have called the Loyalty Team several times, and they have reduced my bill by giving me free or reduced HBO, Showtime, and Starz for either 3 or 6 months, but I have to call them every 3 or 6 months and ask them to continue the reduction. With the DTV package, I would have the premium movie...

I would like some opinions and advice, and I'm not a troll; I just want some advice. I’ve been a Dish subscriber for 2+ years, and this month my monthly Dish bill jumped about $60 per month to $160; I had been receiving reduced/free rates for the movie premium channels, and I suppose I lost...

As the OP, I'm requesting that this thread be closed, since it has devolved into something unpleasant. Thank you.

Unfortunately, it appears that you are correct. Most of the people on this forum are intelligent, reasonable, kind people who are willing to help, but there are a few exceptions, and they are the ones who stand out. I just added another person to my Ignore List, which is my solution to dealing...

What I "just don't understand" is how people can misconstrue what I thought was a simple question about feature availability. Nowhere in this thread did I complain or 'kvetch'. I was aware of GenieGO, but I was hoping that DTV might have something similar to Dish's product, and whether or not...

My first reaction to your post was going to be rude, but I decided to take the high road and leave you down in the swamp. If you had CAREFULLY read my original post, you would have noticed that the first sentence begins with "I'm a recent returnee to DTV from Dish...", which means that I am not...

The other thing 'good' about the current version is that everyone who buys into the current version puts an additional $99.00 into AT&T's pocket. ;) People with newer technology are having to spend $99.00 for hardware that they really wouldn't need if DTV were to implement a system like Dish's...

Thanks for the potentially good news ... as long as the price is the same as Dish's price: free. The Dish product does not require any hardware; programs are downloaded to tablets and phones via the Internet. I hope that DTV does the same thing.
