Time Warner getting so expensive that looking @ Direct Tv with AT&T wireless service with a 2yr price guarantee. Are there any hidden fees your aware of or other cost that hidden since your stuck for 2yrs? I have verizon cell now & love it with no landline, so its tough to switch.

Didn't At&T just announce they are buying out Time Warner?

Janicholson · Oct 25, 2016

yes, but the deal is making eveyr agency of the gov. feel queezy. Approval may be years! I think it is a very bad idea for competition. Jim

atch out for that low-ball pricing....it is likely good for only 6 months, then jumps up & you will be stuck with the higher price for another 18 months! Check the * and fine print!

Mother-in-law just found out the hard way. She switched from Dish to Direct with the AT&T bundle. Then they said her TV's were too old for their remotes to work so she had to buy 2 new televisions. Then 3 months later, her bill went up to more than double. All because she would not listen to my wife.

As long as people keep paying the bills, they will keep raising the prices. If enough people stopped paying those outrageous prices, the industry would take notice of that real fast. It's your choice: Deny them the money or just keep paying the bills and enabling them to keep sticking it to you. There is nothing here that you couldn't live without.

Go to DISH Network so you can get RFDTV. Cheeper with with better channels.

Don't do it!!! Direct TV is horrible!! Hidden fees, price starts out low and in 6 months you are paying over $100.00 Been there! We went back to dish with no issues. Should have stayed with them in the first place!!

RFD tv is on Directv...

John730D · Oct 25, 2016

Had Dish for 4 years, had Direct for 6 years. Just put up an antenna and now get 39 channels. Now instead of not watching 300 channels, I am not watching 30 channels.
Over a 10 year period, I spent over $10,000 on sat tv. No more. Total investment $175.00 once and done. Oh, and I connected the antenna to my existing Direct TV cable. House was already wired!
The thing they don't tell you up front are the equipment rental charges, and all the taxes. (over @15.00 per month taxes on top of your contract)
I grew up with two sometimes three channels, I'll get by with 39. Besides there isn't much to watch anyway.

ep, but Time Warner makes content and Time Warner Cable delivers content. Two separate companies.

I have been with Dish so long that I bought all on the original hardware and installed it myself. I have no experience with their internet service.

Looked into switching to antenna, from DISH. Nothing on antenna that I want to watch (Mariner games, Fox news, Turner Classic movies, PAC-12 games). Stickin' with Dish. Free's no good if there's nothing to watch.

I chunked DirecTV years ago because of the ever increasing annual premiums. Dish is my current supplier for satellite TV and internet and the service is great and price stable; fast, good BW allowance, and a good buy. For internet I also have Exede which is another good performing good buy. Don't know if they carry TV too but only need one TV supplier.

Now you can get in with NO contract if you own your phone. And you can get unlimited data deal on 4 phones, with the 4th phone being free with a direct tv combo deal. And no charge for streaming direct tv show.. (did I say unlimited data)

I dumped Directv years ago over a dispute we had when they refused to provide me local channels without changing to a different "plan" which I liked. Went to Dish Network for a few years, and it was a constant price increase. We battled back and forth and they kept reducing my rate for a few months, then raise again. I finally did what I should have done years ago and dumped them, spent the $$ and got a good antenna, and get approx. 25 local channels and am much happier, and rid of paying for something I was never really happy with. Not really happy with a good percentage of the channels I have now either, but at least I am not paying for something I do not use. A lot depends on where you live, but I live in an area that is very hard to receive much, but with a little research, and time, I am quite happy with the result. Total cost was approx. $250, and I re-used a mast taken down from another place I used to own.
