    What makes you stay with Directv?

    I just recently returned to D* after about 18 months away. Why? Well, my streaming experience was hit and miss. Not every streaming service had all of the sports channels that I want. I had PQ issues with D* Stream as it often disconnected from my network. I decided to return to D* because...

    Retention? More like rejection!

    In another thread, I posted that I have officially cut the cord and transitioning to DirecTV Stream. Of course, having gone down this road before, I knew that a retention agent would try to contact me to entice me to stay. They called 4 times today and I finally answered the last call. The...

    I have been a DirecTV customer on/off since 1999. I have been preparing for the inevitable switch to a streaming service. I have experimented with DirecTV stream, Fubo, and Comcast's stream to get a taste of options. Yesterday, I saw my bill from D* and for some reason it got to me. I...

    Reconfiguring setup

    I am considering reconfiguration of my DirecTV setup. I have the HS17 (Genie 2) which surprisingly I have not had issues with over the 2 plus years that I have had it installed. I guess I am one of the few out there! I do have a lot of televisions in my home and all are connected to a...

    That’s it! I’m leaving Dish when my contact’s up and returning to DirecTV.

    But let us not forget the Fox (Sinclair) RSNs, Fox O & O/FS1/FS2, HBO/Cinemax disputes that are going on with Dish at the moment. This has been the legacy of Dish Network for nearly 20 years. DirecTV rarely had issues at first, but they have been more pronounced over the past few years just...

    Considering change from Dish to Direct

    I dropped DirecTV in 2011 only to come back in 2012. I was offered a good deal upon my return via Costco as well which provided advanced receiver credits, free Sunday Ticket and fixed pricing for the first 2 years of my agreement. As for the DVR, the Genie (HR34) is the best dvr offered by...

    Thinking of coming back to directv

    I set it up online via a special offer from Costco, but I had to call in after the fact to correct my online order. They created a brand new account for me.

    How often will I lose service? (DirecTV)

    At my home, I have periodic outages, but that is only due to hellacious storms that we get from time to time. There was a time when I would lose signal due to heavy cloud cover, but D* came out to realign the dish and since then that rarely occurs.

    Swanni keeps bashing direc tv?

    I want to say that the crux of Swann consistently bashing D* is due to an incident to occurred with one of his relatives (his father I think) a few years back. I could not find anything online, but I seem to remember that this person wanted to cancel his service and was given an ETF. Swann...

    More Slingbox Questions

    I have been using one of the original Slingbox units on one of my D* DVR's since 2006 and it has worked great. I also have apps for the iPhone/iPad. At times, I will receive a message stating that my slingbox is not supported by these apps, but it works perfect for me.
