How to switch from Satellite to streaming can comparison

Do the free trial and make your own honest decision. Everyone has their own option that may or may not agree with yours.

I tried to sign up for streaming to test, but it won't accept my address, which is the same address used for my satellite account. I hate directTV. 

Did you get an error or what? Did the address match your CC billing address? Make sure you use a different email than the one for DirecTV satellite. There are known issues when using the same credentials.

Where I live, USPS doesn't recognize our address, as we have to goto the Post Office to pick up our mail, and thus if DirectTV using USPS to cross check addressed to validate them, it will not work. We have had issues with some others for same reason. It is a nightmare to resolve. Hoping they can overwrite this...

I was not a fan of DTVsat. Always list signal, then lost pay for view , then got only Spanish channels! Switched to cable and DTV charged me $400 contract fee even though I never signed a contract. Tried talking to even their VP with no luck. Swore I’d never go back after they forced payment via a collection agency!

However 10 years later DTV stream premier looks good. Eliminates two homes at $600 vs $150 stream for both.

I hope and trust that if I end up moving to stream, I won't have a cancelation fee.

Stream has no contract. It's a month-to-month service, like all the other streaming services.

Check with DTVSat first to make sure your not under a current contract…

You want to know the difference between Directv Satellite service and Directv Streaming Service.  The are not many differences the channel lineups are basically the same but you do lose out on the NFL Network and the NFL Sunday Ticket.  There may be a few other channels that the streaming lineup does not have but it is very few so I would check the channel lineup before signing up. You will no longer have to pay for DVR fees and Box fees as there are none of those with the streaming service.  Depending on what you are going to use to stream if you are planning to use Roku or Firestick you lose the ability to change directly to a channel as you would have to go into the guide and scroll through the channels to find the one you want.  Also accessing the DVR takes a little more work.  But if you were planning to use the Directv Streaming Device then you would really see no difference in the way that it works from the satellite version as it basically works like your Sat. receiver without the dish.  But you do get the ability to download apps such as Netflix, youtube, etc...  Plus there are no contracts so if you are not happy with the service you can cancel at any time.  Hope this helps answer any questions that you were looking to get answered.

Understand these are two different services. If you cancel directv satellite you will be liable for whatever are the standard cancellation charges for the services you have. You can't "transfer" from one to the other.

Not sure why you're having issues signing up for DirecTV Stream. You can have both services at the same time while you evaluate the Stream service. Just use a different email address when signing up for DirecTV Stream. We have both for a couple of months before deciding to cancel Satellite and keep Stream. No regrets!

My address issues are unique to my location, but causes problems often. Hopefully a real person can help me. 

I was wondering if the recommendation engine on DirectTV streaming is better than satellite version, which is non-existent.  I like YoutubeTV's recommendation engine. 

Hopefully a real person can help me.

Constructive, thanks, but you are not able to help force my address into your system, or are you?
