    New customer but need to cancel DirecTV

    I think there is a 7 day trial period, but I have also heard that you can cancel within 21 or 30 days. You are better off calling DirecTV and asking a CSR.

    Question for subscribers…

    A tree blocks my view of 110, so E* was not really an option.

    DTV DSL $60 OFF Promotion

    I sent the form in near the end of October. The $10 credit (for 6 months) showed up on my December bill. It sounds like some of you got a better deal, but I'm happy to not have to call customer service.
