We did that every year for the first 3. They kept changing what the discount was for until this year when it jumped 3 times to bring the cost up to just under $300. Claire usually could sweet talk them into giving us a deal, but not this time. She went through the customer retention department. We have 3 TVs hooked up for that price. I was hoping to be able to move locations on one of them, but the UVerse boxes don't move easily. The salesman's pitch for DirecTV was that with wireless it was easy to change, but the installer said $50 to wire up each location.

I was able to get them to give me another promotion for long-time customers. My price stayed the same, and they gave me a one-time credit for being a loyal customer. Bypass customer service and ask for the customer retention department - 1-800-288-2020.

Is anyone using Direct TV? I would like to know your experience with them, what hookup problems you may have experienced, whether you are using their wireless, loss of signal during rain etc. Tom Bray 9104 Collingwood 512-280-4882
