they want me to upgrade for 100.00 i just want tv

We have had two go out. At first they wanted us to pay shipping, but we "convinced" them it they should pay shipping as well and they did. They sent a delf addredded box that we just had to drop off at PO when they dilivered the new reciever/dvr. Someone is pulling your leg that you have to upgrade. If you have been with them for 12+ years they should be going out of their way to comp you a new reciever and some!

Do not, I repeat, do not waste your time talking to a customer service rep. if they refuse to send a reciver and pick up the charge. If they want to play hardball(which I doubt given your loyalty) just ask to speak with the disconnection department. When they ask why you are leaving them explain your needs and they will make it happen. If I were you and they really wanted to be this big of douches about things, they would comping me other things as well or dish would be on the way to my house the next day. Good luck

What a freaking rip off. I don't know why you would even stay with them. They should be providing you a free box without a question.

William as a 12 year member and still using an outdated receiver you are surely missing out on the best they have to offer..

first that means you don't have a HD TV..

can't imagine watching games away from my 55'' HD

you need to go full out with an upgrade to NFL PACKAGE..decent tv shows package and and least 2 HDDVR's..

get a 2 year deal and let it rip..

DIRECTv...the ONLY WAY TO WATCH SPORTS and HDTV..

ask for the Ace Dept and the supervisor there with the longest tenure..

with 12 years and no upgrade one of the suits there will fix you up.

:0074

with HDDVR's those 7* will fall into your wallet like pennies from heaven;)

I can't imagine Dirctv letting the exclusive getting away at any price..Their marriage has been the best for sports fans that has ever been conceived.

The SuperFan sets itself apart from all others.

The current contract runs through the 2014 season.
No DirecTV available to you now?
