Default Direct TV?

Anyone have Direct TV especially a bundled pkg of TV, phone & internet?
Wondering how you do or do not like it.
Closing early Sept & trying to decide what company to use for these 3 services.

I am also interested in what the best deal is right now. We will be getting internet and TV service....no phone. I know that there are a few different companies out there. Any preference?

The issue I have had with Direct TV is the interruptions from thunderstorms ( which are frequent in summer ). Although I have had no experience with their satellite internet service, I would have the same concerns.

I'm nuts about DirecTV, had maybe 3 slow days due to weather this summer. I'm on satellite. Have used Direct for years, love recording shows, great response when service is needed. can't say enuf. ok one more thing, I got free NFL for my first season when I transferred here.
new accts can save $100, @$10 a month using an existing acct as referral..64176565 is mine.

We have direct and for the most part I have no complaints. We've bundled to include phone & internet.

Have had Directv in ohio for over a decade with very few problems. Wanted the same when we set up in he villages. When talking with the installer it seems thunderstorms usually affect HD first.....he set up our guide to list each station twice (one with HD and the other as standard). Wouldn't you know it that the next day we started to encounter our first tropical depression. When a breakup started to occur we switched the channel to standard and had dtv with no problem. Although the depression lasted two days we never lost service.
