DIRECTV is a TV provider offering live and on-demand programming through satellite and internet streaming. You can watch with no satellite dish using the STREAM device or the Gemini device. The service has shifted toward streaming over the past few years, so most new customers sign up online without an installer.
You can reach support at 877-635-6044, every Monday to Sunday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT, or use the "Chat with us" tool on the site.
Signed up for DIRECTV STREAM with a device included? You can cancel for any reason within 14 days of purchase and get a full refund. That covers all fees and charges you paid before cancelling. The key is to act early, not at the last minute, so you have time to confirm the refund goes through.
Since the device came with your service, you have 14 days after cancellation to return it. Send it back in good condition with normal wear and tear. A late return, or one that's damaged, means a $120 non-return fee. Allow for shipping time so it arrives in time.
If you purchased a DIRECTV device and want to cancel that order, you'll need to return it within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. After 14 days, the device is yours to keep and can't be refunded. So this matters most when you're returning gear soon after buying. Here's how the refund works:
Device paid in full: You'll get a full refund once you return the device undamaged within that 14-day window.
Device paid with an installment plan: The same refund applies. But return it late or damaged, and you'll be charged the outstanding balance under your installment agreement.
Cancelling after that 14-day window works differently if you're on a two-year contract. Disconnecting before your 24-month commitment ends triggers an Early Termination Fee (ETF) of $20 for each month remaining, up to $480.

Transform your home entertainment experience by receiving a $10 discount on your monthly billing statement for the first three months of your new television service. This introductory media promotion is strictly reserved for completely new customers who initiate their subscription directly through the official website, entirely excluding current or returning account holders. All changes are up to DIRECTV's discretion, allowing the provider to alter eligible channel packages or terminate this sign-up incentive at any given moment. This three-month billing reduction cannot be combined with alternative new user sign-up bonuses.
How does DIRECTV cashback work?

Get 20% off the MySports subscription plan for eligible new customers. The offer includes the ESPN Unlimited plan and applies to qualifying subscriptions during the promotional period.

Enjoy a free 5-day trial with an eligible DIRECTV subscription for a limited time, with the trial applying only to qualifying plans and new subscribers where available. This offer may exclude add-on services, premium channels, rentals, taxes, fees, and previous or existing subscriptions, and payment details may be required before access begins. Unless canceled before the trial ends, standard subscription charges may apply based on the selected plan. This offer usually cannot be combined with other promotions, and all changes are up to DIRECTV's discretion.
Maximize your long-term entertainment value by claiming up to $480 in total bill credits distributed evenly across a comprehensive two-year television service agreement. This massive credit distribution requires a strict 24-month commitment and is typically applied in recurring monthly increments rather than one lump sum payment. All changes are up to DIRECTV's discretion, meaning the provider reserves the absolute right to adjust the specific tier requirements or cancel this extended billing promotion whenever they deem necessary. This lucrative ongoing credit cannot be stacked with short-term introductory deals.
DIRECTV PERKS turns your loyalty into tokens you can redeem for real savings. You earn tokens year-round just by being a member, and the longer you stay, the more you collect. Redeem them for rewards like movie-rental discounts, e-gift cards, exclusive merchandise, and more.
Joining is free on their website. It's best for long-term residential customers, since rewards grow the longer you're with the service.
Your eligibility decides whether you can redeem tokens, so confirm where you fall before signing up:
Fully eligible: Satellite and streaming customers with a Gemini device can earn and redeem.
Earn only: App-only and Genre Pack customers collect tokens but cannot redeem them.
Excluded: Business, U-verse, MyFree DIRECTV, and Multi-Dwelling-Unit accounts cannot take part.
Residential customers who haven't joined PERKS yet should check for sign-up perks first. We've seen the service run a sweepstakes at times. Sign up during one, and you get a chance to win a month of free service. Members who are already enrolled don't qualify, so the trick is to time your enrollment for when one of these windows is open.
Military members, nurses, and medical professionals can save up to $480 over 2 years when they stream DIRECTV with a device. You'll get a monthly discount for 24 months, based on your package:
CHOICE: $5/month (up to $120 over 2 years)
ULTIMATE: $15/month (up to $360 over 2 years)
PREMIER: $20/month (up to $480 over 2 years)
The full $480 applies to the PREMIER tier. After 24 months, the regular monthly price kicks in unless you cancel.
This offer is for new, approved residential customers only. On the military side, eligibility covers active-duty members, students of a U.S. military academy, veterans, current or former National Guard or Reservists, and their immediate family. It also includes current or former medical professionals and nurses.
To redeem, sign up for a free WeSalute membership and verify your status. We recommend doing this before checkout so the discount applies to your first bill.
