    We canceled direct tv today. What a fiasco. After 4 people going round the loop, finally got it done. When we asked what to do with the receiver/equipment the options were to ‘recycle’, ‘trash’ or, my favorite, save it to “remember all the great times we have had with direct tv” what a hoot!

    They sent me a pre-paid box to ship the dvr back. Maybe your equipment was too old and they didn't want it back.

    Well, you gonna mount it on the mantle?

    Yeah, they aren’t big on losing paying customers. I can tell you from my years of experience working for them that the tactics they use are a little silly

    Over a year ago now we canned DTV! We did the "Call every year thing" for several years when our bill would jump $30-$40 and we'd get another promotional price. Finally DTV said no "promotional price".

    Cancelled our service and have been streaming every since. Couldn't be happier!

    You won't regret it.

    Honestly happens with all the big players: I had my shares with Time Warner, Verizon..etc..

    these days I only get a solid Internet line and connected devices (FireTV, Roku,etc..) plus DirecTV Now app for my local/live channels.

    I canceled my DirecTV thru online chat. I only wanted nfl Sunday ticket but they refused to let me have the streaming service for that. Best thing I ever did was cancel DirecTV. Save me money for mods haha

    This exact thing happened to me, at one point the best thing they offered me was a 1 time $10 off and i said cancel it.

    Been using Playstation Vue ever since.

    They are almost as bad as Siriusxm. When I got stationed in NC we moved to a new neighborhood. No cable service ran yet new. So I thought bundle internet and satellite through direct tv. Well long story short their contracted internet provider couldn’t provide internet so I told them to cancel everything. I had only been a customer for 20 minutes so I thought no big deal. Boy was I wrong. Told them a dozen times to cancel it. Finally got them to do it when I lost it on this person and asked them in how many languages did they want me to tell them to cancel my $&@@!$@ service. They said one second sir I’ll transfer you.

    Never, ever, ever bundle utilities that aren’t owned by the same company. I didn’t know the pitfalls either prior to working in the industry.

    I'm not defending Directv but those guys been in the satellite business for many years and they are catching up with the young bucks aka HULU and Netflix. It takes time to move the beast :)

    I signed up for DTV now when they had it for $10 per month if you are ATT unlimited data plan customer. Also got a free 4K roku device :)
    so yeah..it only costs me 10 bux a month for DTV now...so much better than my $180 bill from Time warner.

    dtv now still has couple bugs been worked on but major announcements coming soon ;)

    A word of advice to all that love their traditional television services....get ready for internet television services, if you’re not already. It’s going to take over sooner than you think

    All reasearch and development is headed towards doing away with cable, dsl, and satellite tv. All the money is headed towards internet based live television and much more
