Customer Service
DirecTV was awarded a J.D. Power award for residential cable and satellite TV customer satisfaction in 2007.
DirecTV's customer service is provided by many third-party owned call centers both inside and outside the United States. DirecTV also has a subsidiary named DirecTV Customer Service LLC, which owns call centers in Denver, Colorado (opened in 2007); Boise, Idaho; Huntsville, Alabama; Missoula, Montana; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Pharr, Texas; and, most recently, Huntington, West Virginia. N.E.W. provides technical assistance by phone to customers who subscribe to DirecTV's Protection Plan. Most of the call centers are contracted to provide agents to answer customer phone calls regarding billing or technical questions.
As of November 2012, DirecTV does not offer a 30 day grace period for those who wish to try the service. "If you do not fulfill your Programming Agreements, DIRECTV may charge you a pro-rated fee of up to $480."
