I've had Directv since 2008. Originally in Maryland I had Comcast. One weekend that we had a lot of sports coming up, Comcast went out for 3 days and never gave us any updates. I switched to Directv and have never looked back. I moved to TV in 2011 and brought my boxes with me.
The installation is done by a third party called Mastech. I believe they do all the installs, they did mine in Maryland and in TV. It's usually free when you agree to your initial 2 year contract. I had one other contract for 2 years when I got a $200 HD DVR, my original could not record, and then that expired 3 years ago.
I've stayed with Directv for one main reason. I can watch any NFL game I want come Sunday during football season. Not that I dislike watching the Jaguars or Bucs, but they're not my team. If it wasn't for the ticket I might consider other options. I have the Premier Package which includes all the channels they offer, HD on everything, and a DVR that holds 1000 hours of HD programming. I can record 4 programs at a time.
If you're looking for a real bargain, go to Market of Marion on Fri, Sat or Sun and look for the vendor to your left around sunglass alley. My neighbor has a Amazon Fire Stick he bought from Amazon for $50. Take your stick to that vendor and for $30, if you don't have a stick, he has them ready to go for $130. He pays $15 a month and he gets every channel in the world, no joke. It said on start the number was like 6000 channels. Just to see how it was, I said, can you get WJZ. That's the Baltimore CBS affiliate and where most of the Ravens games are broadcast. He pulled up an app and it showed every CBS station in America, he tunned in WJZ and within 30 seconds we were watching Channel 13 from Baltimore.
As far as I know, the vendor will tell you this is legal. I don't know for sure, I would say maybe not, and you may lose some of your programming at some point in time. Then again, you wouldn't be out of that much money.
