Yeah, when I got new iPhone, ATT was putting the hard sell on it.The picture quality is better with Directv, as the signal isn't nearly as compressed. DVR size is probably bigger as well. If you have ATT for your cell you get free HBO and I think another discount with Direct.
If you have access to YouTubeTV and a fast connection I would at least look into that.
Try Att Uverse if you can get it. Reliable as spectrum and picture seems as good as DirecTV to me. They will bargain to keep you.Switched about a year ago. Direct is cheaper, but that’s about all I like about it. Hate the lag with the boxes, the genie mini boxes all freeze way too often, and it goes out nearly every time there’s heavy rain. 99% reliability! ...but those 1% of times are always because of rain. After I missed watching the end of the Florida game because of rain I swore we’d switch back to spectrum as soon as the initial contract is up. May do it sooner. And don’t let them sell you on the dishes being tiny now... they’re not, that’s a flat out lie.
Signal here is exactly the same quality. That may vary by customer depending on the cable installation.
You’ve got enough cash, spend a little extra for a better product.
I have been with Direct for a couple of years. On their newest equipment the service doesn't really ever cut out (at least in Hamburg). My bill was set to lose the promotional rate and go to $130. I called to cancel and they offered $60/month off for a year ...no commitment. We renewed. It's a good service and reliable.Currently with Spectrum, considering switching to Direct Tv.
What are some of the pros and cons?
TIA
I am switching to Direct TV Now (streaming). I had to get Roku on an older TV but my new TVs are Direct Now ready.
So basically the same as direct tv but without satellite, all streaming like Netflix?
So what’s the deal with local channels on direct tv?
So what’s ideal for streaming, like 100+ mbs?
This times a 1000. I finally left DirecTV and their over inflated prices and I couldn't be happier. Spectrum has impressed me and I am a snob when it comes to TV reception, service, etc. Spectrum gets a huge thumbs up from me.Even when it's raining, I press the button on the remote and TV shows come on. Advantage, Spectrum.
YouTube TV
Damn really? My town only has like 10K population, including the college students, and even we have it here.I've been patiently waiting for YouTubeTV since it came out. Unfortunately, it probably won't be available for me until 95% of the country has it.
This is what I have done when visiting my parents and they have Dish. Except I use their Dish login. It lags behind the satellite signal but beats the alternative.Rain definitely can cause you to use signal with Direct, but if you have a wifi connection you can still stream games broadcast on ESPN and some NFL games with a Roku box or other streaming device. That's my backup on bad weather game days. You just use your Direct TV account info to log into those other services.
