Direct TV
Misleading rebate offers and hidden installation fee

TV & Radio

Received a couple of fliers in the mail advertising what looked like pretty good deals. I called and talked to representative who assured me that we would receive at least the same channels we were getting from dish, along with some updated equipment.

Extremely confusing information regarding the 'rebates' that would be applied monthly. Refused to comply with their perk of another rebate offered for referral. Flier stated no fee for installment, yet we were billed for installment. After the installation, we began watching our 'new' channels only to find that we were not getting the same thing we had with dish. Stupid me, signed a two year required contract with this rip-off company. Reception is very poor, picture is frequently breaking up - which did not happen with dish. Looks like a long unhappy two year relationship with Direct TV. The cost to get out of the contract is horrendous!

Wise up folks - don't fall like we did for this phony 'good deal' you pay a pretty hefty price in the end.
