You have been such a great help to all of us former and current DirecTV subscribers and Cutting Edge members over the years. Happy 2024 to you!

DirecTV stream subscriber since December 2022 on Choice package. I have not seen any notice of a price increase anywhere. My subscription page still shows Choice at $99.00 for next month.

DirecTV's and AT&T's websites has been giving me fits for months. It seems, at least for me, they will only work sometimes with Google Chrome. Talked to them several times and reset password several times. They always say they are aware of the issue.

I have noticed this a couple of times. Not so much the channel issue but an issue where the Osprey box will launch Netflix without anyone touching the remote. When it does this there is no way to exit Netflix without a reboot.

When I had DirecTV I usually did well with promotions and credits. I referred a friend once and he was not able to get any kind of deals with DirecTV. At first I couldn't understand why and then realized he had terrible credit and was always late paying his bills. I quit referring him to any...

I signed up for DirecTV Stream on the web site a couple weeks ago. They did not ask for ISP or SS#. All they wanted was a credit card number to complete the order. If you order the C71KW box from them (refurbished) it is $50.00 and they give you $10.00 off for 5 months so basically free. So much...

It's a crapshoot. When I cancelled all they wanted back was 2-C61K's via FedEx. I ended up recycling the HS17 and HR44 I had at Best Buy.

They might get more if they write a book called "How to destroy a great satellite TV service in less then 5 years".

You mean I can't just go to Lafayette or Olson Electronics for parts anymore? :)

We have lived in a disposable electronics world so long it is great to see when you can actually fix something! My dad used to fix TV's, CB's, radios and such in the 50's and 60's. I used to love to build Heathkits and remember going to the drug store to test tubes in the 60's. My soldering...

Only one provider with Gig, Comcast. Centurylink fiber is within a 1/4 mile but not offered at my address. Centurylink only offers DSL over 50+ year old copper. Last time I tried it I couldn't get over 40mbs down even with with pair bonding.

Good luck Bob! It seems to me that since the recession of 2008 nobody is safe. I worked over 30 years in local government, loved my jobs, got great reviews. Then all of the sudden I was 58 years old and was apparently making to much for the newer generation of bean counters taking over. I was...

AT&T washing their hands of DirecTV.

About 1981, when I had Televents cable, my neighbor went to the box in his back yard, pulled it straight up and the case came off. Then he unscrewed all of the filters and put the box back in the ground. We had free everything for several months. Never did hear if he got in trouble for that.

Televents was bought by Jones Intercable, then TCI then AT&T which later turned into Comcast. I may have this out of order because I had satellite for 20 years.

That is the same one I had in 1981 with Televents cable.

Dish was what attracted me to satellite TV 22 years ago. DirecTV (AT&T) is what drove me away and back to cable 2 years ago.

This is the new norm for DirecTV cancellations, new policy or not. Follow the rules, get overcharged, make hours worth of phone calls with no resolution, complain to BBB or AT&T legal, then get the call that fixes it all. Unfortunately by the time you do all this you already made a mental...

Also watch for billing for services after you cancel. I got a $35.00 bill for programming after my cancellation date. I spent 5 hours on the phone trying to get it resolved. Five months after I thought it was resolved AT&T turned me over to collections. It was a fine way to treat a 14 year...

Good luck with that. It took me 9 months and certified letters to the presidents office, BBB and state attorney general to get refunds owed to me for charges they billed me after I canceled. The once great service has been ruined by AT&T.

FYI, I did CE testing of the HS17 and received mine in November 2016. I enjoyed being a tester and updated my clients to the C61K’s at my own cost. During this fall (almost a year later) DirecTV began testing the new GUI. I was not given a choice and the new GUI was pushed to me. Initially...

Really like my Tivo Bolt VOX and 2 mini’s. Canceled Directv after 14 years and one year with the HS17 and clients. Even with a 4K TV the hassles to make things work correctly wern’t worth it. 4K programming was very limited and constantly repeated. AT&T has really screwed up DirecTv and I see...

I have finally gone full circle. Twenty years ago I dropped Jones Intercable for Dish. Fourteen years ago I dropped Dish for DirecTV. Last week I dropped DirecTV for Tivo and Comcast/Xfinity. Really like the Tivo Bolt Vox. The speed and commercial skip features really sold me over the...

No streaming issues at all tonight. It seems like picture quality is a little improved also, but that may just be me.
