Well crap. I sent them an e-mail asking to cancel my account on 11/4 and I'm only now getting a chance to go through my e-mail and the reply says that I can't cancel through e-mail. My current bill is up to $168.38. "For your convenience, if we have a credit or debit card on file, we will...

No you can only suspend it for a maximum of 6 months in a 12 month period.

The thing is I was 2 or 3 weeks away from fulfilling my contract but they explained that when I put my account on hold it tacked on another 6 months to the contract so it's probably going by that. It makes no sense to me how they can tack on months to a contract but that's just business and fine...

The person I spoke with before I cancelled through e-mail said it'd be $120 plus my current bill which is around $80. $200 is just something I don't have in my bank account and nearly 100% of my next paycheck is going straight to bills (my worplace forces us to use direct deposit) so.. I'm...

Okay so I was having money issues (the cost of living alone is so high) so I put my DTV service on hold for 6 months. I assumed that I had already completed my 2 year contract but it turns out that when I did this I was a few weeks from the 2 year contract date. The service was recently turned...

I've had Directv for about 5 months now and I'm having to move to a new place. I called them and they said that there will be a $50 fee for the move. They said I only get one free move per year and they consider my initial install as a move. Is this right?

Really? Why not? TV tuner cards and media center do a much better job of recording and accessing your media than any set top box o.o I guess that ends my plans of having a media center PC to control my television programs.

Are there any tv tuner cards that can work with Directv w/o using their boxes? I was going to build a home theatre PC with a hdmi graphics card and blueray drive and receive HD satellite TV into Windows Media Center if I could. Thank you.

You're right about it being a rebate. I guess I didn't read the fine print and assumed it'd automatically show up on my bill w/o having to fill out a rebate. One more question. I couldn't uncheck the premiums like HBO that are free for three months. Will these turn themselves off after the...

Something seems odd. The installation went very well and the service is great but my bill seems to be too high. I signed up for the Choice Xtra with HD DVR which includes HD access in the package and I was supposed to be billed at most $54.99 a month for 12 months then $21 more a month after...

Is there a nice tv tuner without an IR extention cable for the media center remote? If not then are the drive bay panels with built in IR receivers a good alternative? If I like the remote that comes with the tuner better than the panel are you able to use any MCE remote for any IR receiver...

Uverse would have been my first choice. The service looks awesome. Unfortunately it's not in my area even though there's a main street near by with lots of houses and a Walmart that I can see from my front porch. It may be worth paying off the rest of my contract to get it.. when it becomes...

Haha my nearest neighbor is farther away from me than the nearest Walmart. I just went ahead and ordered through Directv instead of AT&T to see what it'd cost me and the only thing I had to pay was the $300 deposit. I paid that and now on the 20th they'll be installing DTV here. Oddly I couldn't...

Edit: Nevermind. Go ahead and delete this topic. I went ahead and ordered and it didn't cost as much as I thought it would ($300 deposit though.. ouch!).

I sent an e-mail to Directv and this is what they said. So basicly they're telling me that all of their offers are based on my credit? How is that fair? I understand the deposit but why must I pay for equipment that's supposed to be free in the package I want to get? Did anyone else have to...

That's odd. When I went full screen on google (white) there's no errors at all but then when I went full screen with Blackle (black) it started out as looking perfectly fine then a red pixel pops up in the same place 3 seconds later. It's probably my PC.

They didn't deny me service and using my debit card was fine. See when I first applied for DTV through ATT Internet Explorer screwed up and my order didn't go through so after an e-mail to customer service they gave me a call letting me know my order didn't go through yet and that they could...

When I play DVDs or games through my Xbox 360 I see no screen problems at all. I then connected my old PC through a RGB cable to the TV and I notice 4 or 5 small red-ish pixels on the screen when the PC displays dark colors. They're always in the same locations so do I have dead pixels or could...

Oh it'll work.. I just can't bring myself to pay $500 for the service.. especially when $200 of that is for something that was advertised as free with the online order! I'll contact DTV directly and see how cheaply i can't get the HD DVR for. When I tried signing up it showed a list of how much...

I have a debit card which is used like a credit card. It asked for this information when I first tried to sign up.

Actually I've never had a credit card. I've applied for quite a few but due to their credit checks I couldn't get credit and I can't build credit because I can't get credit cards. make any sense? It doesn't to me either lol. I don't know why but I think "credit" in general is flawed.. Why...

Yeah I think I'll do that. It was convenient to have my directv on the same bill as my phone and internet but I don't mind really.. The only issue I have is that DTV (or is it ATT?) lists a great deal (free HD DVR upgrade) on the sign up page but later on you find out that their "deals" require...

I tried to sign up for Directv's Plus DVR package (with a free HD DVR upgrade + $50 cash back) through AT&T and at the end of the registration my popup blocker tried to reload the site so I had to cancel it. I e-mailed them and they called me back today and they tried to tell me that the service...
