so im thinking of getting one or they other. recomendations? and do we have any connections in the community for these services?

 

*** is retarded and i hate 'em. not to mention i've heard tons of other people complaining about them. i'm planning on getting directv one of these days.

 

they all have their faults. the thing about *** is, u can still watch tv when its windy outside or there is a storm. we had dtv in the past and it lost signal anytime there was a storm. not to mention, you are responsible for the dish, so if someone comes by and steals it or breaks it. u gotta pay. i chose ***, even after any issues i may have had. my internet is stable, same with cable. its only been down maybe 2-3 days in the last year. but i dont even think its been that much

 

I'd go DirecTV. I was with Direc for years & switched to Dish in December because they were running a special on the Platinum HD package. It seemed like a good move at the time. Worst TV-related mistake I've made. I save a little $$, but the DVR sucks like a Michael Bolton medley, & the customer service is ill. Plus, they've over-charged us twice in our first 6 months & I've had to fight with them to make it right. DirecTV has the best packages, and by far the best Tivo/DVR solution out there. I will be switching back as soon as my contract is up. Maybe sooner, if I get to a place where I can't stand it any more. Seriously, it's that bad. Look on Craig's List for deals. I see people advertising there all the time. Or just call the 1-800 number 'cuz they run specials all the time. My $.02...//TJ

 

thanks for the input guys!

 

never ever had a problem with ***. customer service is great. my buddy has direct and it goes out like once a month or so. its annoying.

 

I'm licensed to sell Direct TV. I'm running a special right now too. For new Direct TV customers you can score a $50 Visa gift card. Call me Loco!

 

lol, what happened to being a loan officer?

my parents have had directv for over 10 years. when i used to live with them, the service was great and now its what i am going to get once i have a place that has the right angle to setup a dish (if i get another apartment that is)

 

I'm still doing that too... for now

 

Just let me know and I'll take care of you. Maybe there will be another deal that's even better than $50 card.

 

DirecTV FTMFW!

 

I have directTV. Actually if you haven't gotten your service yet I need somebody to take over my contract. I have a year left and the new condo I'm moving into is in a weird position in the middle of the complex. It doesn't face the southern skies and the community is strict about mounting. I only pay about $59 with DVR and protection.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
