Update: Emailing them from their website works great. They will call you directly and they will have a written record of your complaint.
You can also call 1-800-824-9081 and at the voice menu say "cancel service".
I called DirecTV to see what counter offers they had in place. I am only a Select Choice customer from 1997 and have a 40 hour Tivo unit, and get free local channels. So my monthly bill after taxes is $33.
Here is what the rep outlined (they know about the Dish Network special):
Hmmm....decisions, decisions.
Good luck!

- Upgrade Tivo to 80 hour free, and gives you a $100 rebate on top of that
- 2 months Premium service free
- 6 months of Showtime free
- 3 months of Starz free
Hmmm....decisions, decisions.
Good luck!

My most recent deal was $5 off my monthly bill for the next 6 months. Not great, but better than nothing and I wasn't interested in a free TIVO offer.
My deal before that was 6 months of any premium package for $12. In other words, buy 1 month, get 5 months free.

The freebies are free, and no more commitment is required...

Take the TIVO. It's worth it!

$150.00 credit
$5 off monthly bill for 12 months
HBO for $2.00 a month for 6 months
Showtime free for 6 months
At first all they offered was a $50.00 credit. I politely informed the rep if you multiply the $35 savings offered by Comcast every month for 18 months, that equals $630. The rep went right to the $150.00 credit and the extra incentives. May have been able to get more, but I felt this was a decent offer they gave me, so didn't feel like arguing the point, especially since I had no intention of cancelling.
