now that AT&T is doing the billing instead of Direct TV. Here's a caution: if you also have AT &T for any other service such as cell phone, etc the billing is separate than the TV (Direct TV) bill. However it looks identical and arrives a few days later than the Direct TV bill. So if your used to paying one AT &T bill you can easily forget about the second AT&T bill. I've done just that. Because I was late they came out and confiscated my two cars and television that Direct TV had given to me free for signing up a couple of years ago. If I'm late again they take the house and my office equipment. I don't know about AT &T.
