My TV has worked about3 hours in the 6 weeks I have had direct TV. I have spent about 10 hours on the phone with so called technical experts who are rude, insolent and worthless. I have been told twice a supervisor would call back and none did.
The contraption they sent me to stream direct TV is defective yet they insist on repeating worthless exercises to confirm and then still haven't sent new one.
Direct also does not work on vizio which is one of my televisions.
Nothing is better than Direct. Then you at least are not paying for nothing.
