DirecTV
HDMI Cable Unsupported, ABC Picture Break-Up for 7 Months

TV & Radio

I have been a Direct TV customer for 7 months. I cannot use an HDMI cable because Direct TV is still "working with" HDMI cable manufacturers so that the equipment will work with all cables. I was told this 5 months ago.

ABC has always had periodic break-up at my home in Oregon. Last week I lost 5 minutes of the Indy 500 race. No picture at all. Today, trying to watch another Indy Car race, I have the worst break-up ever, and it is constant. I called customer service, and the poor rep had to tell me everything she has been told to tell customers: that, once again, DTV is "working on the problem with local channels." Right... I have had break-up for 7 months!

Never buy DTV, contracts are not a good idea. I will go back to cable and buy fewer channels. I chose DTV because COMCAST was charging more and offering less. I may go back to a big house antenna and put up with less TV, save money and drop all the satellite and cable. Don't buy direct tv!
