    If anybody is planning on getting Directv, I can refer you and get the both of us $10 off for 10 months. My promotions just expired so I'm looking at a $65 bill later this month. Thanks

    I recently straight canceled on my contract, even though I would owe money. Two days later, the retention department called me back and I got everything for $35+box rental and other bs fees for a year. If you play hardball, they'll come back and re-up you for cheap. It's better than not having you at all.

    I signed up through someone here a few years back. Before you order, make sure you have the person's account number as well as their name, address, and phone number. I'm not sure if I got an ******* customer rep, but they were asking me all that information. I didn't have that information available and they ended up only giving me $5 off instead of $10 a month.

    Someone I know HATES DirecTV after they switched from U-verse. They hate the delay in channel changing and the signal loss during storms. I LOL'd.
    Seriously, man. WTF. You have the Latino package (that's what she said), or what? :confused:

    Please explain yourself.

    It was me. They screwed me over and didn't me any of the referral discount!

    Oh well. Glad you got the $5 at least! My discounts are about to expire as well so I'm about to be playing hardball with them.

    Anyone want to help a bbser out and get a referral, let me know! I could use the referral discount!

    Driectv sent me two gift cards in the mail with my account # on them. They state:

    $100 bill credits referral:
    • $24.99/mo. for 10 months (after rebate and $10/mo. referral bill credit with the CHOICE package).
    • Over 150 all-digital channels, including local channels
    • Free installation
    • Free Receiver upgrades HD DVR + 3 HD Receivers
    • $100 in bill credits for the friend who referred you when you mention this Account #046789557 to switch to DirectV
    Call 1-877-214-9594

    http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/packages/base_pa.ckages.jsp?footernavtype=-1&lpos=header

    They send you an email to do the rebates online (really easy. Just click them and you start getting them on your first bill, but do it before they install the service.

    Cancel the protection plan. You can add it back if you need it. Do you really need the Premier package? Ask them if they will give you $10 off per month if you sign up for auto bill pay. They did for me.

    I received a promo which included the Entertainment package (140 digital channels) for $29.99/month with 1 additional TV. Both receivers are High Def. My first bill came out to $49.19 with three free months of Showtime. It should go up $5 in year two if I cancel the DVR service for the second TV, and Showtime.

    The DVR I have works on both TVs. I called them about FSN and they wanted to charge me $12 for it. I said I guess I won't watch Rockets games anymore, and they guy gave them to me free for 1 month. That's all I need since they will be on local TV next season.

    Call them and say dish network is giving you a better deal and ask if they will lower your bill or you will cancel. Also, why don't you join the protection plan once you have an issue. They have no way of knowing when your receiver screws up.

    If you are getting Dish Network let me know and I can provide a referral.
