BobbyC81 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yep, I've encountered today's issue. Much discussed on Twitter. If Direct-TV didn't have the monopoly on The Ticket I'd drop them faster than a frog snags a fly. Recorded shows disappear from the List and you have to search for them thru History. That's been going on for months. I called about one issue and they wanted to send me a new DVR. It's your software dummies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Same thing here - demanding 49.99 even though I already subscribe, and if you cancel blacks it out. Rrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I canceled last year, IDT I should be as concerned as you. I canceled also.Switched to Dish. DTV always gives the new subscribers the good deals and does nothing for the people who have been with them for years. I've had DTV since 2006 and got Sunday Ticket every year and I have had to fight tooth and nail to get even the slightest deal. So I told em I'm done and send me a box to mail your receivers back. Think I'm just going to switch back and forth to get new subscriber deals after each year is up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'm just going to switch back and forth to get new subscriber deals after each year is up. I've done that same. "Customer loyalty" is a joke with that company. It is insulting how they are more concerned with striking up new clientele instead of rewarding those whove been loyal for years. We did that dance for years with those jokers but don't anymore. As much as I'd love the ticket and redzone, it isn't worth what I've paid in time/money. I'd rather save the cash and go to a bar, my friends or enjoy whatever game is on. I've fallen victim to the culture of the need for immediate gradification that is so widely spread amongst our youth today ('myself included). Im trying to peel away from my dependency on accessing everything I wish at a moment's notice (checks fantasy team score). Hey, nobody is perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Not related to this but my list on my DVR disappears sometimes and I have to reboot it to bring it back, very annoying especially for as much as they charge us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILBillsfan Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 No issues here and as far as service I would rate Dtv as top notch they always go above and beyond when I have had issues with free pay tv for 6 months like HBO/Cinemax etc they even gave me a 30$ credit each month for a whole year. Some of you obviously have bad negotiating skills or just expect too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsam4031 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Directv, since it has been taken over by At&t,has gone right down the toilet. Ive been screwed a few times by them already. Called 4 months ago about my dvr not working correctly and things that tape aren't appearing and they said its a bug they are working on fixing but all I have to do is restart the box every time I use it so they wont comp me anything . "ALL I HAVE TO DO IS" Anyone whose hit that little red button on the side of the box knows it takes about 20 mins to do that and get up and running. SO am I shocked that there has been something wrong with Sunday ticket no. Ive had the same issue but don't even bother calling because every time I do I get off the phone and want to put my head through a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I had the $49.99 thing on all the channels, just left it on game mix that didn't have the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
