I got the number from an ad on TV, so I called. I was told free insulation, 2 months free service. Then I was told I had to pay the installer $99 and would be reimbursed. I even paid the $19.90 shipping and $49 for insurance on equipment. The installer installed the equipment, and then he called DirecTV. I was then told I had to pay an additional $55 for activation.
I told the person that no one told me there would be more charges. I told them to forget it, I would not pay more money because I was never told. DirecTV told my husband I was not to pay the installer and I wouldn't get the $99 back from DirecTV. So I called Prime TV, and they told us to deal with DirecTV. We talked to a manager at Prime TV. She said she would waive the $55, but that was too late after approx. 2 hrs of going back and forth with both companies. I called my cable company so I can go back to basic cable.
These 2 companies are really bad. I feel they shouldn't get away with this, because someone might think they're getting a great deal and be ripped off. It's not fair.
