I've been a long time customer of directv, but I've never had access to u-verse. I am about to move and u-verse is available at the new house. so... anyone have experience with both?

DTV may have high customer support ratings, but I don't like dealing with them. The installers are crappy and they have no problem sending out old equipment when much newer things are available. I plan to have a whole home dvr setup with about 6-7 TVs

I have been with Direct TV for about 6 months. I had Uverse for 3 years before. I prefer Direct TV.

UVerse. Outside of purely saving money, I don't think the 2 services are even comparable.

The addition of the wireless receiver is what seals the deal for me. Can move the cable box outside, have no wires run through the house...

I had DirecTV for about 10 years, moved into a new house 2 years ago and decided to try Uverse.

I like Uverse much better. It's more economical, they run great deals as well on premium channels for those below the u450 package. Service has been great and besides weekly and monthly emergency broadcast tests on 4 receivers, it works great.

DirecTV continually sends me mailings offering huge price reductions and cash back to return to them. I have been too satisfied with uverse to switch back.

I've had both and loved Uverse. I will say this though, the picture on DTV is better.
Uverse had some small things that i wish DTV had. When scrolling though the channels, what was playing would show up instead of a picture of the show. Scrolling while watching something without using the guide was better. Just small things like that Uverse does better
