The customer service people always say they'll do it, but it usually doesn't get done.
Bottom line, if you want to watch excellent quality TV pictures that are rarely disrupted by technical issues, go with Directv. Just be prepared to pay/dispute whatever unasked-for charges they randomly add on to your bill.

I have DirecTV too. Great service, but you have to call and threaten to cancel your account every year when your discounts expire. Also I HATE having to talk to an Indian call center. The local cable company is based in Carbondale, and the CC is locally based. I might change my landline and internet since Verizon is awful, service drops off after a heavy rain (underground utilities). So I'm sure that by Wednesday my internet and landline will be kaput. But I am happy with DirecTV for the most part.
