Thought I'd post this poll, based on DMurphy's comment about net promoter scores in another thread.

As long as it fit their needs, I would most definitely recommend it...

NPS is a great tool if and only if you take it in the larger context.
I have, I will. I tell them the good with the bad.
I voted 8 but I do have one caveat I have to mention since they don't have Comcast sports NW there are issues seeing ducks and blazers games.
I agree 100%, however, I would make sure that they were 110% prepared for the install with information from here and what I experienced with my install.AirRocker said:As long as it fit their needs, I would most definitely recommend it...
DirecTV still subs out the installs in my area to Mid Michigan Microtech. I had a great install, but I've also heard horror stories too.
I guess that would be my response, but honestly, I don't know anyone that I think it's appropriate for. I recommended it to my sister, and they have it. Outside of them, I can't think of anyone else I know that I'd want to recommend it to. I used to talk them up a lot. But the hardware now seems buggier than it used to be. They seem to be a little more underhanded with things like extending contracts than they used to be. And the price advantage is no longer significant enough advantage to warrant the extra headaches for someone who "just wants tv service". It's a good service for someone who specifically wants the sports content, or wants the widest variety of HD at the highest quality, or who is a bit of a hobbyist with this kind of stuff, and accepts the quirks as part of the challenge. But I just don't know anyone else in those categories.AirRocker said:As long as it fit their needs, I would most definitely recommend it...
I said 9... because while I would recommend DIRECTV enthusiastically, it's not for everyone. There are those who would be better served by cable, Dish, or FiOS.
I would, and have, recommended DirecTV to friends. I voted 10, however I also point out to them the various features, costs, potential issues, and let them make their own decision.

I have recommended DirecTV to everyone I know from the very first day I signed up (some 14+ years ago). I can remember calling a buddy of mine in Arizona a couple of hours after hooking my first receiver and telling him that this was 'better then sliced bread'.
To my surprise, he ordered one from the same Rochester, New York Radio Shack I did that same night and had it on his doorstep 2 days later..

The question is would your wife recommend it?fluffybear said:I have recommended DirecTV to everyone I know from the very first day I signed up (some 14+ years ago).

9....id tell them directvs & the competitions (+)s & (-)s....directv still outweighs all the others options.
I recommend it all the time. And $50 off my bill is a nice bonus.
I have recommended D* to many people but I agree with Stuart that it isn't for everybody. This is true especially for friends from my area as there are no local channels (HD nor SD) on D*. This is a big negative for many people who do not want to fool with DNS or OTA.
I said 6, I never vote 0 or 10
but I did get my boss to get D..

I said a 9 but only because D* does not offer locals in my town. If they did I would be recommending it to everyone I know.
I would absolutely recommend DirecTv to family & friends.I have been a subscriber since 1999 & I am very happy with it.I have had very few problems with D.And the ones that occured were fixed promptly.My only beetch would be a few missing channels that I would like to see (Travel & missing HBOs in HD).But,I'm not in any hurry.They'll come eventually.So I'll watch something else instead of worrying about it all the time.That's why I gave it a 9 in the poll.It's up from an 7 or 8 a year ago if asked the same question beacause they added dual feeds for EI & CI.
I do so mush it embarrasses my wife and kids
the neighbors think I work for D*

For the people I don't like,I would recommend all three of those.Stuart Sweet said:I said 9... because while I would recommend DIRECTV enthusiastically, it's not for everyone. There are those who would be better served by cable, Dish, or FiOS.
I've had Dish,I know Dish.I wouldn't sign up my dieing dog with Dish!(To put it nicely)
:lol:P.S. This just in.....Dave beats Dish by a mile.
