    DirecTV Stricter on Retention Question??

    Yea that's kinda how I felt if that's their strategy I can't fight them on it. What are good options if any? -Pay more roulette (wonder if others had more luck) -Pay $130+Sports a month and bite the bullet -Cord Cut, we have Netflix, Hulu, Prime, would add HBO. Not sure if there's anything...

    DirecTV Stricter on Retention Question??

    Per AT&T's earnings calls and strategy layouts I mostly expected this. But I keep satellite as a hang on by a thread option. My mother lives with us to watch our toddler and there's about maybe 8-10 cable shows we watch without good streaming options. At the $80/mon for 3 rooms and HBO (which I...

    Custom Guide question with HR54 and 3 C61K’s

    I recently had a 4 room install. All seems to be working well. However, I made a custom guide under favorite channels so there were only around 100 channels to flip through instead of 900+ on my HR54. Is there a way to use this guide on the 3 C61K’s without manually making it 3 more times?? It’s...

    Comparing New Customer and Winback Offer

    Ok that sounds great on the equipment side. And it sounds like they would do the cable drop for no surcharge. Can you dissect the 2 plan choices above? I can't tell which is a better deal because of the way they are presented.

    Comparing New Customer and Winback Offer

    They said that would be my only option with 2 4K TVs. If I said I only wanted 1 4K I could get an HR54 and C61K +2 Minis for the same price I would assume.

    Comparing New Customer and Winback Offer

    Ok I’ve researched quite a bit and it looks like I’d get a hs17 and 4 genie minis. Assuming I decide to go with these since they would be the same in either option. Can anyone help compare the two offers I have spec’d Out above? Also will the installer do 1 coax drop or will that be a custom...

    Comparing New Customer and Winback Offer

    The comparison was between the new customer and the offer to come back to DirecTV and I was trying to figure it out between those two. Are you saying the current devices are so bad it's better just to not have service period?

    Comparing New Customer and Winback Offer

    After helpful posts from a previous inquiry I decided to go ahead and cancel DirecTV for now and will be looking to start it back up in about a month. Almost immediately I got kind of a decent $50/mon credit offer for 12 months, when I passed on that and am now sending my stuff back I got what...

    Moving What's the Best Overall Option???

    The only issue with option 2 from 2 posts above is even if I demand to keep my equipment they require a tech to come ensure it’s the proper dish and LNB do any drops (none are necessary) , they also said I could upgrade to the HR54 and C61s for free at this time as well. Even if I didn’t the on...

    Moving What's the Best Overall Option???

    I have been with DirecTV/AT&T continuously for 10 years. I am usually able to get a $35 or $50 monthly credit when I call in annually after my bill skyrockets. (No missed payments, 4 room DVR, Entertainment ALL package and HBO). I'm looking at 3 options when I move, which is likely to be the...

    Best deal for moving with directv

    I notified the movers deal with directv. I’m also out of contract. New home has the directv satellite I have now so should be able to not need to be replaced. I have an HR44 and 3 HR24 in whole home setup. I didn’t know if the movers setup was the best and simplest, or if it’s possible to get...

    Discounts or Cord Cutting, Please Assist!!

    Do I need the Mini's if I propogate the antenna signal as mentioned above? (I have a master cable box in the garage with all coax in it). I have 4 TVs so the $300 sounds awesome for a lifetime TiVo box, but $100-150 for each little mini seems steep. Also since no one's mentioned it, I'm assuming...

    Discounts or Cord Cutting, Please Assist!!

    I've been a DirecTV customer for about 12 years no late payments use auto-pay etc. if that matters. A year ago I seriously considered cutting the cord, but was a bit lazy and DirecTV offered me $40/mon for 12 months and all premiums free for 6 months so I just decided to stay. All the premiums...

    Switch to 4K Ready Now or Wait???

    I decided to stay with DirecTV retention gave me a strong deal, but it's going to be a 1yr contract, I know new equipment would be a 2yr contract. I know DirecTV has very limited 4K content, but while I was signing a contract I didn't know if it would be a good time to go ahead and upgrade...

    10 Year Customer Looking at Switching, Few Questions?

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm curious about the picture, is it well worse than DirecTV? They did have a 4-Tuner Q Model Tivo, but said if you have a 4K TV you get the 6-tuner 4K ready model as they plan to add 4K channels by Q3. The price they quoted me that I'm using for comparison I was told...

    10 Year Customer Looking at Switching, Few Questions?

    Great point, but the prices are locked for 2 years, but without a contract, so they have an incentive I would think to keep them reasonable. I also don't have the upfront cost I've eaten if they spike me with a big increase. The non-promo pricing seems about 18 a month higher from a quick glance...

    10 Year Customer Looking at Switching, Few Questions?

    I'm not really switching for the 4K, it was more the fact it drew my attention to how high my bill had gotten and the fact I could switch to cable for no up front cost, no contract, and save $500/yr. Satellite used to be the cheaper or better option based on plan choice, now I can't seem to see...

    10 Year Customer Looking at Switching, Few Questions?

    I've been with DirecTV for over 10 years and had almost no issues. But it seems like the bill has really gone up and I'm now paying over $125 for Just Preferred XTra+HBO. I recently bought a 4K TV and was looking to possibly get an HR54 and 2 Genie 4K Minis to replace my current HR44 and 2xHR24...

Just a couple more questions... 1) I've heard an HR54 is coming out soon I plan to buy one 4k TV this year, and want to make sure at least 1 receiver supports it. What do we know about this...

    HR24 whole home setup still good or time to upgrade??

    I switched to directv and got 4 HR24s (had to bribe the installer) but nonetheless I've been plugging along using the same setup for 5-6 years. My contract is up again and I usually call and when I do they usually offer discounts and/or new equipment with a 1/2 year extension. I enjoy my current...
