I hate Direct Tv

This is the worst mistake I ever made. A bazillion channels but nothing but repetitive fluff!!! You have to pay extra for channels like EPIX, PBS, and outdoor channel that on my other provider were in my ultimate package. All you all have is a whole lot of shopping and pay preview. I can’t even tell if a show is new or a repeat and the dvr is the pits, either tape all showings or none. I cannot wait until my year is up.!!!!

DTV has no control over what a channel does with their programming and the channels send the same programing to all providers and those infomercial and shopping channels pay DTV to carry them reducing your bill.

DTV has a 2 yr contract.

I loathe DirectTV. They have been fighting with ABC for months with no results.  Don’t they have boatloads of lawyers busy writing smarmy contracts to bilk customers?  Multitask!!!  Maybe a few of them can negotiate. ABC is no better, and ESPN isn’t broadcasting it because it’s about money and viewership. Thanks Disney. Aren’t you a monopoly?  I’ll be watching the biggest MNF game of the season at a sports bar. I dumped DirectTV with pleasure and scorn. Never again.
