It took 5 phone calls to get local channels. Guide displays all channels, not just those to which you subscribe. The channel order is unwieldy and not at all user friendly. I miss my local cable—more expensive but worth it.
All of the information I was provide and sold on in my decision to go with DirectTV was false. I have spent hours on the phone with DirectTV learning more about the "offering" I was sold and every call the news gets worse and worse. One of the biggest mistakes I've made was utilizing My Utilities and DirectTV.
I have had them in California too
