No answer in chat

I am trying to find out why I have unlimited hours now in my streaming package - I did NOT make this change.

I tried to ask my question in chat, but I just getting preprogrammed responses to choose a subject and no matter what department I tried - I only received bot messages.

How do I reach out to customer support?

@bcbsncjlj Yah that post on reddit started with a guy who was grandfathered. I would post a screenshot but this forum hasn't allowed pic uploads for a couple of weeks ...so I will copy and paste

"I was just converted to Unlimited DVR today. I had been told I was ineligible to be converted from 20 hours to Unlimited, but it switched for me today. I am glad I waited, since I would have lost my grandfathered HBO streams, if I would have cancelled. The CSR told me to wait until the end of the month since everyone will have it and he was right."

I think the post said that people are going to be upgraded/converted when their billing cycle ends

Can't imagine that they would offer the upgrade to original grandfathered subscribers who are already locked into a substantial discount compared to other subscribers. I would be ticked!

For DirecTV Satellite, call 1-800-531-5000.

For DirecTV Stream, call 1-888-429-4023.

I have read them on Reddit. What some do not know is that they are different levels of grandfathered account over the years. Mine was originated prior to the service being released in 2016.

For DirecTV Satellite, call 1-800-531-5000.

For DirecTV Stream, call 1-888-429-4023.
