I have been with DTV since 1997 and been relativly happy until the last year or two. DTV charges for EVERY little thing and im tired of paying for the features I should get with my package. Example: I pay a hundred and some for the MLB extra innings package to watch unlimited baseball. I also pay 10/mo for the HD service. But to get the baseball games in HD, oh thats another 99.00 package. Same thing for the Football package. I now have to pay for local HD channels, because you cannot integrate the OTA HD antenna into the receivers with the new HD channels. Their equipment is good, but you have to pay 399.00 to lease a HDDVR that I have to return when im done. That just seems odd to me!! All and all I suppose I would recommend DTV, but I am anxious for ATT Uvearse to arrive and see what that is all about!!

Good reception, they have a few more satellites than dishnetwork or others, I usually don't have a problem.
Remote/channel menus are a little cumbersome sometimes.
NO need for a phone line connection UNLESS you want CID onscreen, and want to use phone for order PPV.
Happy customer almost a year now.

I have been a Directv subscriber for approximately 5 years (except a 3 month period my cable company offered me their digital cable at a ridiculously low price ...jumped back to DTV because the savings weren't worth it.) Their HD service is great, though I have had issues with 2 of their HD receivers going out, but they were promptly replaced. There are more channels than I will ever watch and there are a ton of educational and kid channels that my family enjoys. Personally we love the service and will never go back to cable or another provider unless they race the cost. Great service.
