So, yesterday my Directv decided to go out with a 775 error code. I checked online and walked through troubleshooting to no avail. So, my wife called and they said they need to send a tech out to give us a new SWiM power device. Instead I wanted to just cancel, but my wife scheduled the service call for Saturday.
We have been thinking of changing from Directv for a while, but we aren't sure what to switch to. One thought is Dish because it is less expensive than Directv, and another thought is to go the Roku route with Sling and other services to get channels/shows we want. Unfortunately last night I tried streaming Directv through my laptop and the picture was jumpy, presumably because my Internet connection sucks...I have Windstream DSL and no other options, so I am screwed in that department.
The other thing my wife told me is Directv offered $82 per month for a year. Of course my question was whether that was with everything included, or just the package and then we have to add all the misc. fees. My guess is they are lowering our package & HBO fees but then we would still have to add the other service fees normally on the bill.
At this point I am not sure what I want to do.
