    Default Direct TV?

    Whats your experience with them?
    How is their bundle service-tv, phone, interwebz?
    Pretty sick of CommunistCast and their antics....

    No problems, just be aware of the price jump after the introductory price period expires.
    pie have had less no service issues than Communist Cast. Only a few sever weather and two of the times I only needed to clear heavy snow off the dish.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    No experience with their Bundle, but I was a satellite tv customer for 10yrs. Never any problem with the tv signal portion, but their CS sucks. We asked for a more competitive price and they basically said fuck off. Went with Dish and have been very happy.

    I've been very happy with them. Their On Demand service sucked but it's getting a lot better. My pricing has been relatively consistent with them. With Comcast every 3 months my bill would more than double and I'd have to call in to get the latest and greatest promo which would expire in another 3 months.

    Right now we have the second best package and every English premium channel available on 5 TV's our bill runs $101 per month. If we still had Comcast the bill would be over $150 just for TV.

    As far as bundling goes I'm not really sure. If you want the convenience of paying 1 bill every month I can see the value in bundling but if you want the best deals out there you need to shop each company and get the best deal for each service you need.

    I've been a happy customer with DirecTV since 1999 with a break in the middle due to going overseas. I rarely have rain fade and the Whole Home DVR service is pretty nice (albeit a monthly payment you may not want). They have a much more stable price structure over time. The only drawback I see is that their bundled Internet provider is CenturyLink (Qworst).
