[QUOTE="donna723, post: 595828, member: 1883"] I've had DirecTV since way back when it was still Primestar and have had almost no problems with it at all. The few times I've needed service they came very quickly, were extremely courteous, and did a good job. The prices depend on the package you choose and they seem to have a lot of good deals for new customers. Not cheap but very good and reliable. Of course, like any satellite TV, it will occasionally go out for a few minutes if a bad storm is coming but they all do that. My son and his roommate got Dish Network which was a little cheaper but they were very disappointed in it. They never did get all the hookups they were paying for and were never able to get the local channels on the satellite so they had no local news or weather. One little hint: If you have a choice between buying or leasing your equipment, always choose to [U]LEASE[/U] it! It costs only a few dollars a month. S**t happens, and if you're leasing it, repairs are free. If you own the equipment, YOU pay for repairs. At my old house a big tree limb fell on the dish during a storm and damaged it ... cost me nothing to have it replaced. And at the house I'm in now, an old window AC unit fell out of the kitchen window and hit the dish that was right below the window. They were here the next day, replaced the whole dish, and it didn't cost me a dime! [/QUOTE]
