Houston, we have a problem

[PoBoy]

I've been stuck with a mom and pop cable system so I decided to take the leap to sat. Now I wish I never bothered.

I waited six weeks for the appt and the installer leaves within 5 minutes of arriving. He wanted to cut all my existing wires rather than running the new lines to a junction box I have on the ground floor. He said the new cables would not fit but there was plenty of space (I have two identical wire runs, the first is full with 16 cables, the second only has 3 ethernet cables). He did not bother to even look, he just wanted to do it the most convenient way for him.

I called DTV customer service. The rep (apparently not a DTV employee) had to call DTV, who then had to call the installer. I was on hold for 30 minutes. DTV reported back to the CS rep that the installation company had her on hold and even hung up on her a few times.

I was asked if I wanted to sked a new appt (several weeks out), so I asked for my money back.

It amazes me that DTV outsources the functions (installation and CS) that customers have the most direct contact with. Neither the installer or the CS rep showed any effort to try to make things right.

I never imagined that another company could make Mom and Pop look good.

First, welcome to the forum, PoBoy, welcome to the forum!

You certainly seem to have a complaint. It certainly is your choice to pursue this any way you see fit and rewarding to you. I have been a D* customer for many years and have had to argue with them as well. If there truly was a perfect supplier of home entertainment they would put everyone out of business.

[Drewg5]

Bad installer. My guess is the installer called his/her CS, and not D* cs. Although the way you wanted the install done is more than likely not a standard install. Some or most installers know very well how to do a costume install but will charge you more cash cuz D* will not cover it.

Dbs cable runs can be different than cable depends on what you need.
How many receivers were you going to use to how many rooms or were going to run the signal out of one receiver to multiple TV's.
Or were you going to HD that also makes a difference.
Your junction box will not work unless your using it to distribute from one receiver to many TV's watching the same channel.
It is not just cut and dried sometimes it is just easier and makes more sense just to start over.
But the installer still should have looked it over and explained what he needed to do.

[PoBoy]

Just to clear some things up:

The installer did not call customer service, I did. The installer said someone from his co. would call me, never happened.

I called Customer Service via Direct TV's 800 # and the woman said she had to call Direct TV. And when she got in touch with Direct TV, they said they had to call the installation company.

As "upnorth" said, the installer should have at least looked things over...he was in my house for less than 5 minutes. Also, Upnorth, I would have been fine with starting over but that to me means not destroying the set up I already had and may have needed again in the future.

Direct TV told me it was not their fault because they don't own the installation company. This made me even madder. First they chose to outsource this task. Second, they have an agreement with the installer, not me.

btw, what happens if they show up and your house doesn't have any cable wires to begin with?

I know that there is not a perfect company out there, but I offer this as a cautionary tale...don't get your hopes up to high and don't fire Mom and Pop until the DTV is in.

[DawgLink]

What is up with local companies hanging up on DirecTV? I had that happen to me as well

[wismile]

I have been pretty lucky with installers...but, they are so buried right now that the fuses are short. Not an excuse...just a fact. I would think that DirecTV would probably give you enough credits on your account so you can hire a local installer to do the job. In the end the product is worth the hassle. I know...I had a bad first installer too. He said the dish couldn't be sighted...wrong!

Good Luck?!

I thought that DirecTV would have made this right but they offered nothing...said they did not control the installers and gave me my $ back. Paying $400+ up front and waiting six weeks for an install suggests that I was willing to be hassled. I am a huge NFL fan living well outside my home teams market, so I really wanted this to work. Also no accomodation was made regarding a resked as they offer ed me something in late September.

[wismile]

DirecTV is a funny company. They won't offer you much...but if you're fair and ask for things and are persistent you will likely get what you're looking for. I went through a lot of bad stuff while they transitioned from TIVO to the new DVRs...but they took very good care of me. I did have to be persistent and dealt only with customer retention (they have more flexibility), but I got what I thought was rightfully mine. My last run-in took me all the way up to a customer retention supervisor. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but if you can put aside your anger and spend a little time on hold (I find later in the evening is the best time to call) and explain yourself clearly it works. A line such as..."okay we have this problem, I really want to be your customer...what can you do to help me?" then ask about using a private installer. Be clear that Sunday Ticket is important to you! Because it's very important to them!! Good luck.

Thanks for the advice, it is much appreciated...how does using a private installer work and does anyone have someone in Houston they could recommend

[wismile]

Check a local retailer.

We used to have a Radio Shack in town and the owner's son did installations.

[gully_foyle]

I've never had an installation problem that $50 couldn't solve. ;-)

Not so much of a joke when you consider what some of these contractors get per job. The downside of "free" equipment and installation is that D* needs to keep the installation costs as low as possible. So, while some installers know their stuff, others are underpaid, overworked and poorly trained.

In short, "the cable guy."

[wilmot3]

Just a suggestion and from a d* customer since 2001 .........try a local dealer I made the mistake of going with d* direct and know when I have a problem I have to deal with D* subcontractor who gets paid by the job not by the hour and looks for the fastest way possible. That sounds like what happen to u.

Oh so true that is what I put up with, sometimes it seems I know more than they do.:grin:

[tgater]

Let's not forget that most of these installers get just above minimum wage.

[carlsbad_bolt_fan]

Let's not forget that most of these installers get just above minimum wage.

So? They have a job to do just like everybody else. Their job (in this case) is to install D* equipment. Their poor attitudes because of bad pay shouldn't be my problem or yours.

[PoBoy]

So? They have a job to do just like everybody else. Their job (in this case) is to install D* equipment. Their poor attitudes because of bad pay shouldn't be my problem or yours.

I would have been willing to negotiate with the installer to do it right, but when I said he couldn't cut my wires he just left the house.

Just got back from a block party. Two neighbors had DTV put in and kept cable, so he installer did not have the option of cutting the wires.

If the contractor is underpaid or unhappy they can always do something else, the HOU economy is booming and there are many jobs. But my beef is with DTV...they chose this arrangement where the guy who enters your house is not their employee. I paid DTV for a service and they did not deliver and did nothing to try to get it right. That's what happens when you put other people between you and your customer.

[boba]

So? They have a job to do just like everybody else. Their job (in this case) is to install D* equipment. Their poor attitudes because of bad pay shouldn't be my problem or yours.But when you are paid by the job not by the hour you pick and choose. If the job is hard or the customer looks to be a PIA you move on to the next job. Time is money and when you have what looks to be easier jobs(more profitable) why waste your time the customer means nothing except the next stop in the day.:) Now a local dealer is interested in every customer he wants referral business so satisfying the customer means something to them.

[soccercoach61]

So, I have a question on using a local installer... If you buy at local retail, how do you finagle a deal from D* for equipment? or is it even possible?

Directv is an equal opportunity offender (as is E*).

I have NEVER seen an install with more than several high end units go correctly - and it usually takes 3-5 hours on the phone through multilayers to try and get it corrected - and usually the 2nd install isn't 100% correct either.

It doesn't matter if it's set up by a CSR, Customer Retention, Movers Connection or even the Floor Manager in the Office of the President - they all go wrong (and no its not usually the Installer's Mistake - its usually on the end of D*- though Installer's attitudes with seeing this for so many times have gotten them to the point you and I have both seen).

[Chip Moody]

Just my 2 cents...

When I moved to a new house 3 years ago, I knew I didn't want the local D* subcontractors doing a butcher job running cables inside the house. I had a local A/V installer that I know and trust pull coax through the house. (along with Cat-5 and some other A/V cabling)

When the local D* guy came, I think I made his day when I told him that all he had to do was put a new dish on the roof, run coax from there to the basement and install the multiswitch.

I guess my point is, if you want wiring the way you want it, either do it yourself or have a local contractor do it to your liking - THEN call D*...

I am sure the fact is that most installs go perfectly fine. We don't hear about them for just that reason. Rarely will someone post here that nothing went wrong with their install. It's human nature to complain, but not compliment.

[Stuart Sweet]

Well put, raoul5788. We tend to read about the problems, happy people tend not to post.

That being said, there have been some horrendous installs out there. Publicizing them in a polite and honest way can't help but to improve the situation for everyone.

Reading some of the posts here, it's amazing how bad some installs are. The guy who did mine had to put the AT9 on the pole and connect the cables at the dish. I did everything else, the pole, running the cables, connecting the ground wire, and connecting the receiver. He didn't tighten the dish enough and it went out of alignment. I even fixed that. (It was easy, of course.) He told me that the receiver failed the 99 test because that sat is for international channels. He wouldn't believe me when I told him that 95 is for internationals and the 99 sat will carry local channels. He told me he was the senior tech! This is at Halsted in CT.

To get my 5 LMB Slimline last December, I had to endure 4 appointments. The first 2 said I didn't have line of sight. Now another supervisor comes when I'm not there and says I didn't have LoS so stop calling. Another Supervisor came (which I convinced to come) said 'No problem'.

When the real installers finally made it there, I practically had to convince them to do the work. I had to provide extension cords, spot lights, cordless tools and a lot of patience. I had to silicone the hole the wall and trench the cables in the Spring.

I had to get my first HR20 replaced as well on one of 2 additional inside visits by a better installer. So by time I was done I had 6 appts.

Fortunately it's all worked pretty well since then.

sure...but would you have posted if you had a clean install? :lol:

[putty469]

I also did my own cable runs in my newly acquired house. I saw a lot of mixed RG-59/splitter/RG-6 runs. I had the cable company run the main wire straight into my cable closet for my high speed Internet. For DTV, I made the runs myself (2 per TV), installed low voltage wallboxes, and then left all the runs coiled up outside the house where I wanted him to put the groundblock. I'm fairly competent at handyman stuff, and I wanted to drill my own hole in the house, seal it myself, and let him do the dish install and groundblock. Turned out, he did not properly ground the groundblock so I had to do that myself too. That said, I had to do the same thing with cable when I finished my basement. They simply ran the main wire into my cabling closet where I had all of my runs labeled and properly split.

It is worth doing it yourself if you like that sort of work, or hiring it out to a professional.

Well put!

I am speaking from first hand experience with roughly 10 installs over the last 12 months - in markets as varied from NY City to Beverly Hills to Texas and points in between - so I think I've seen a very wide sample first hand.

As stated, it doesn't matter which D* Department the order originated with - yes, even orders originating at the Office of the President (the last upper tier of customer service - well above Retention that people that post think in is the upper tier) get screwed up at D* in their system before they reach the installer. Even the floor manager on the Office of President's orders get screwed up (again, first hand I witnessed it).

From my personal observation, the installers have seen so many screwups and get paid so little, when there is a screwup in the D* Paperwork, they don't spend much time to try and straighten it out, but move on to the next job.

[TBoneit]

When I got my original DirecTV systems from a retailer they had a free install attached.
Back in the days when a 18" with a dual LNB was all it took.
They didn't inspire confidence on the phone....

They couldn't come for a few weeks, blah, blah, blah.

I called the little local guy from the phone book, He came took his time, did a neat job. I paid and life was good.

When I decided I also wanted Echostar and DirecTv both. I called him again he came out installed the E* Dish, took his time tweaking for best signal again.

Both services had minmal rain fade, mostly during noreasters.

Never water leaks, never needed repointing. When I wanted to get a DVR the first person I called was him. He had them in stock, Done deal. This was of course back before the leasing model became the norm so I spent a fair amount of money. :D

[Dwrecked]

To the OP, no offense but I really don't think you know enough about how a D* system works to be able to draw the conclusion that you had a lazy installer. He does this for a living. I'm sure he can tell within 5 mins. (probably sooner) whether he can use your existing cables or not. BTW, offering to run NEW cable does not sound like taking the easy route. Think about it. Do you really think that he would want to run cable if he didn't have to? Unless there is something you failed to mention in your post, sounds like your cabling wasn't sufficient for the job.

[bonscott87]

Sorry for the cruddy (non) install. If getting DirecTV is important for you then I suggest hiring a local company to do it right. Or if you still want to try the free install, run all your own cables so all the guy has to do it put up the dish and install the receiver(s).

Dwrecked,

You got it backwards, he was trying to run the least amount of wire as possible. He wanted to use my existing cables but cut them for his purposes, leaving my existing setup useless. He said DTV wires would not fit in my wire run but he was wrong and did not even bend over to see for himself.

Thanks to all for the advice, it sounds like to get it right you have to do it yourself or hire a pro...I am looking into it. If anyone has a Pro they can recommend in Houston, please let me know.

Sounds like you are just unlucky with your installers. while i feel for you, looking at 10 installs in a years period and making a blanket statement like you did is not really a good reflection on the whole industry.

As usual, you missed the point.

The point was the paperwork was not right from Directv.

Doesn't matter which department it originated in.

And the fact is, even though Directv wins some regions in Customer Service, the truth of the matter is that the scores in THIS CATEGORY are just slightly above the bottom of all categories measured.....slightly beating lawyers (and maybe bill collectors, lol).

Maybe i should have stated it slightly different since even one small thing seems to throw you off. Lets try it again, just for you...

Maybe you have bad luck with you installations, not installers. that better? that covers paperwork, people with hangnails that dont want to do the job, earthquakes, floods, or any other little thing you want to bring up that may hamper it.
that being said, again, my point was, your TEN installs that you have been a part of in whatever way over the course of a year in no way means that the majority of them go wrong, unless you think that they only do 12.

[HDTVFanAtic]

and i will say again that when you read the threads for several years (you joined less than 60 days ago) you will see a recurring theme that the incidents of problems with installs goes up proportionally with the number of items on the install.

It's all about looking for trends and commonality - but as the number of lines on the work order increases, it clearly causes more problems (which if one takes the time to think about it, makes sense - just like a RAID hard drive increases your chance of hard drive failure radically, so does more items on a work order).

With some of thread titles, one would think we are on TNT with all the drama or some cheesy SciFi B-Movie. Nightmare, Horror, Disaster, oh my. :grin:

I know for a fact that things can and do go wrong. But as others have pointed out the ratio of "horrors" to "successes" is way out of whack if one were to only use the posts here.

A lot of the issues can be resolved by talking to the guy before he does a thing in a calm manner. Don't be overbaring or demanding, but don't be a pushover either.

Also, if one thinks that they may have a "challenging" install, ie steep or very high roofs, questionable line of sights, wall fishes, etc, your best bet is to get it cleared through D* to use an independant installer. They have considerably more experience in the oddities that some installations require versus your average HSP tech. Plus they arn't over scheduled and under pressure to get in/out in the least amount of time possible.

Yes it was moving off topic, but to that last one, since you pointed out that ive only been on less than 60 days, how could i have gotten that from you? ive been doing it for years. show me your proof ill show you mine.

:soapbox:

I have no doubt that there are crappy installs. Hey Ive had one where the Dish guy came out, looked said it couldnt be done then left. I called his boss, he came back and within 5 minutes it was working. So out of the many times ive had a dish put up does that one time mean that all of them were bad? No. my point was that people dont call up to talk about one that went how it should, and considering the sheer number of installs that are done a day a few that didnt go right, for whatever reason doesnt mean that they are out to get anyone , or that the company as a whole is incompetent in doing them
