The new DirecTV remote..

...is a piece of shite. I've had it since the summer, and I hate the thing more and more every day. The channel "clicker" is the most annoying thing in the world, and I always accidentally hit it just moving around or setting it on the couch or something. When my wife is lying next to me trying to sleep I have to muffle the damn thing so it doesn't wake her up because of the god awful clicking noise it makes. And the layout is retarded. WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT????

Rarely, but it happens from time to time.

I don't like the record is just under the guide. I always accidently hit the record button.

How well does this work? Mine is on the second year double bill. I need to reduce that shite.

It works. Just have to call back every 3 or 4 months when the discounts they give you run out.

I don't know what to complain about though. Is the button placement really an issue big enough?

No but it will be a nice cherry to top off my rant about my bill

Well I have the old style and it doesn't control my JBL sound bar, forcing me to have two remotes. pisses me off every time I need to change the volume.

Like, "Hey, How are you? Can I have a discount?" What happens if they say why? I just say it's high. Then they are like "You signed a contract for that much." Then I am all "I was young and didn't know any better"

Poor you. I have basically 4 to watch TV. I have to turn on my XBOX One, TV, DirecTV and receiver.

i've called every 6 months for the past 3 or 4 years and i've never had one say no
just tell them your bill is getting a little too high and you were wondering if there are any discounts available....99% sure they will hook you up with $20-$30 off each bill for 6 months
Posted on 1/9/15 at 9:23 am to lsuchamps23
I'm about to call them right now and ask for a discount, ill tell you what I get.
