DIRECTV Review

I have always had cable growing up. I always had cable at other places I lived until I moved in with my now husband and he was a dish lover.

At first, I couldn't really get used to the fact that we couldn't get our local channels on the dish. I got even more frustrated when all the shows that I loved to watch were on network TV and my Tivo couldn't record them because, again, we didn't have local channels on the dish.

Fast-forward to a year ago. We were moving to our new home and decided to extend our contract in order to get another DVR (which was NOTHING like our Tivo - but the person whom we spoke with promised us we would like it MUCH more). The other dish company (Dish Network) was promising local channels so we were a little leery to renew at first; however, DirecTv promised us that they too would be offering us our local channels very soon so we had nothing to worry about.

It is now one year later and we are still under contract. We still do not have our local channels. The DVR they gave us is incredibly hard to use and we ended up going back to our Tivo because, well, now I am a die hard fan. All I have to say is make sure you get whatever you agree to in writing before you sign a contract with ANYONE. I am so ready to dump DirecTV when our contract is up!
