Pure greed and horrible programming

We have been DirecTV customers for over 30 years and they have no loyalty to customers. They are trying to impose a late fee on my account because they "claim" they did not receive my check in a timely fashion. The check was mailed almost 12 days before the due date in December. They swear they did

Can you share your luck with retentions lately?

I called today and had no luck. I'm coming off my 1 year promo and bill will go up 50.00. I can't afford that but they won't budge. I'll be leaving and going with another company even though it's a bit of a hassle. Anyone have better luck with retentions?

Am I out of luck when it comes to getting Uverse?

I tried signing up for Uverse a few weeks back and after the technician came out to do the install I was told that I could not get Uverse service at my address.  The reason given to me was that I was too far from my city's server or center (something like that) to get the service. I am 7500 feet, gi

just got Internet- no luck getting AT&T to help add TV at new customer price

So I got Uverse Internet installed about 20 days ago. I'm very pleased with it so far. I'm willing to give TV a shot, however, no one is willing to give me the offer I see online for new customers (u300, 2 TVs hooked up, HD service, 18mpbs Internet for $97 before taxes). I have chatted with 3 reps,

Loss of Doldy Digital audio when pause is used

While watching a recorded program which has Dolby Digital audio, if I pause the program long enough for the DirecTV screen saver to be invoked, when I resume the program the audio is now stereo.

Audio problems after pause

After a short pause, there is no sound after I hit play. I have a Sony Hi-def tv, Denon and DirecTv. This happens only with watching TV and not when I'm watching from my Blu-Ray/DVD.

June Programming Notices

So, in this forum, there's a RUMOR that the AT&T v Fox situation might come to a head towards the end of the summer...or not...once again, a RUMOR posted by one individual (not me.)    June 2015: As previously noticed, AT&T's contract with the programmer for the following channels is set to expire.

Because AT&T decided to start with the censorship by removing Newsmax, we are going to switch to Pure Talk. I’m very disappointed

DirecTV cancelling Newsmax

I am a 12 year subscriber to DirecTV & have had AT&T cell service for 15 years. I am EXTREMELY disappointed that DirecTV is cancelling Newsmax—the last (Edited per community guidelines) news channel. If this is not resolved with Newsmax being restored I will be cancelling my subscriptions.

Today we were waiting for a tech until 1:30 the appointment was from 8 to noon. Tech call around to tell me that he was far away and I was going to be at least an hour for him to come. At around 1:30 I call him back. His car is broken couldn’t come. If I didn’t call nobody would’v

And the part about computers, that would be Protection Plan Premier $19.99. So yeah that $12.99 is not DirecTV's protection plan but some 3rd party deal or just a pure scam.

Protection Plan Publication

Of course you can get newsmax (and many other channels on directv) free from elsewhere. This is pure anti-conservative activism, and they are hiding it.  I rarely watched newsmax, but I'm switching providers out of principle.
