Direct TV is TOTALLY indirect. Direct to what? the worst and most inconsistant reception I have seen. When it works, and that is less than i want to calculate, it is ok but when there is any weather fronts, rain, storms or windy conditions it is like the lotery, you loose way more than you win. When the contract is up, and I can't wait, there is going to be a change. They need to be honest when you live in a region that is hard to get reception but they just sell the product and then say well you are in a hard to receive area. Thanks for nothing.
