BEWARE DTV SHELL GAME

BEWARE OF DTV Shell Game. When you purchase a DTV box from anywhere the box is the property of DTV. Along with this your contract will be extened for 1 to 2 years. Once again if you buy a DTV box from best buy, online retailer, amazon, your parents or...

Excellent replacement

 

Excellent replacement

This was a excellent replacement for my old HR-20. No more B-band Converters. These B-band converters were always having to be replaced. The new HR-23 has the converters built in the receiver, so you don't have to replace them when they start giving...

Directv has now taken the low road

Have you been a loyal customer and advocate of Directv for many (or as I have been > 12) years? Have you been happy with what seemed to be extraordinary customer service when things aren't right? Have you upgraded your service to HDTV lately? Well,...

Directv Dishonest & Inferior Service

 

Directv Dishonest & Inferior Service

After promising us a sweet deal (Showtime & The Movie Channel) free for 12 months if we signed up for 2 years service. Based on that and with an iterest in saving money we decided to switch from Dish Network to them. This was the biggest mistake we...

Perfect, Brand New, Not a Re-furb.

I purchased the HR23-700 HD DVR. $20 cheaper than I could get it from Directv, but here's the good part.....its not a refurbish and its a HR-23-700 HD DVR. When you order one from Directv they will not guarantee you get this model. They may send you an...

DirectTV - Criminals

 

All though DirectTV service is in my opinion better than cable. Their polocies, and customer service really lag behind.

Performs a little better than ther hr22's, and the larger hard drive is a plus. It is their best reciever yet. However HR24 is coming soon, and from what I understand has a much faster CPU, and completely banishes the poor performance experienced in...

In order to activate DirectTV obligated me to another 2 years of service. I was surprised, and dissapointed by this

THIS IS A LEASE

 

LOOKS GOOD, BUT SENT BACK DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT DISCLOSED THAT THIS WAS A LEASE AND NOT A PURCHASE

ONCE YOU CALL AND ACTIVATE THIS, DIRECTV AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDS YOUR CONTRACT 2 YEARS. THIS IS NOT A PURCHASE

Consumer review by:

great equipment

 

As a former employee of directv yes the equipment is leased, end of story. If you look on the box it comes in it clearly says "Attention: This receiver is a leased product..." On the access card package it states that by opening it, you agree to the...

Good size hard drive can even add external one. Nice networking capabilities

Yes, sometimes the menu and remote responses move real slow
