Does anyone have experience with Direct TV service?

Advantages? Disadvantages?

If you previously had either Comcast of ATT Uverse I’d find that especially interesting.

If you also used the DVR supplied by them, I really would like to know how the sharing feature with other TVs in the house works.

On ATT, all the programs recorded on one are visible and controllable from any other TVs in the system. This created a nightmare scenario when being shared by several people.

On Comcast, each DVR was truly separate. They sucked as a company and their customer service was horrible. But the DVR service was great.

Direct TV says that on their system each DVR is separate from any other and not accessible. But I keep seeing commercials advertising that you can pause a program in one room and continue watching in another. That doesn’t make any logical sense to me.

Any real life feedback you could give would be really appreciated.
