[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 8121617, member: 567719"] I've had it for years now and love it. All that BS about signal problems must have been in the past because I've only lost mine literally a handful of times in the last three years. It was to be a pretty severe thunderstorm to kill it. The only downside is the contracts. With cable you pay month by month, directv will make you sign a 2 year contract, after which you can go month to month and cancel anytime without penalty but during those first two years there's a cancellation fee. Plus those promo rates expire after a year so your second year will cost more. That being said when I planned my switch from cable I ran the numbers and including the higher fees for the second year directv averaged out to be the same price I was paying for cable but my cable was like 50 channels, my directv is more like 250 plus I have two DVR's and the whole home service so I can watch recorded shows in any room...It's definitely more feature rich than any cable provider I've experienced [/QUOTE]
