I’ve had DirecTV since 2000, I guess. Except for the HD DVR, which I bought, they’ve always kept me current in receivers and dishes. This spring, they had to move my dish along with the upgrade.
I’ve been a pretty happy camper, which is more that I could’ve ever said when I was a cable customer. But now I’ve got FiOS for my Internet access. Hmmmm.
We’ve been with DirecTV for several years now as well, and we’re fairly happy. They made a step backwards when they offered their own equipment rather than TiVo, in my opinion, but it’s still all right.
We “bought” three of the latest HD DVRs from them, and are now “leasing” them. That we spent hundreds of dollars on equipment that we don’t own makes no sense to me, but that’s what we’re doing....
Four years ago we moved to San Diego area and got local package. Directv grandfathered our network feeds. So we can still get programs from the four majors from the east coast 3 hours earlier for about 8 bucks a month. Love it!
