    Possibly switching to Dish need more info

    We're currently considering switching from DTV taking advantage of the current 'Price Lock' offer. I had some questions that needed clarification. Is the DVR that is included with this offer the Hopper with Sling? Is it correct that I can provide my own receiver for a second TV and avoid the...

    Misled by CSR

    As Stonecold suggested, I sent off an email to Ellen Filipiak explaining my conversation with the phone sales rep. Today I received a call from a Customer Care Advocate ( I think that was her title) wanting to review the information in the email. She was very nice but basically said she...

    Misled by CSR

    I'm back after a few days of dealing with a computer prob. Thanks 'Stonecold' for the address, I will send off an email detailing my conversation with the the person I spoke to making the sale. I'm somewhat surprised there is no annual payment discount (as there is with Dish) since I think it...

Gonna have to learn all the...

    DVR fee?

    I called today to see about ordering DirecTV to take advantage of the HD for life as well as the other discounts for 24 months. A friend had told us how great it was to have a DVR so I asked about that equipment. The CSR I spoke with said she would waive the $7 monthly fee so I chose the HD...

    Anyone else denied hd for life?

    Not exactly denied. I pay annually and also received the message in my account that I didn't have a base package that qualified so I called a CSR. She said I could get the HD for life by doing either the $99 fee or the auto-pay/paperless billing 24 month commitment. I specifically questioned...
