Thinking about Direct TV? Read this first. in Bakersfield, Kern, California

I finally cancelled my cable and ordered Direct TV. The rep on the phone told me it was only going to cost me my first month of service of $27 for 1 room and no more. Installation was the very next day And I also ordered a second room installation at $7 a month more. That night I got a second bill for $35 which was my actual bill for 2 rooms, regular boxes that are not DVRs. And another email that said that that $27 was a delivery fee and not my first month. The bottom line is that in my first two days I got a $27 delivery bill And a $35 month in advance bill. It's taken directly out of my checking account that day.

This is for all the basic channels. I believe it's called the select package.The good news is I get $100 credit on my future monthly bills. It's like getting almost 3 months free TV.

Since you know the bottom line now and all their hidden charges, Remember that it's still $10 a month less than It's competition.

If this helps you in making a decision for DirectTV, when you call them please give them my account number and we will both get a $100 credit on our bill. Please contact me and I will give you the number in an email.
