Will Sidecar work with SWim 16 & HR24?

Multiple thanks :lol:

 

See this, everyone is willing to go just a little bit out of their way.

Except for my local DirecTV installation company, the folks who should be!

While I appreciate this grand gesture from a complete stranger, if I have to bear any of the installation costs, I just as soon pay for a SWiM device and only do work on the ground floor.
But thank you very much.

 

Well, thank you but I am really fine just sitting with a remote control in front of the TV and look forward to the time when I can forget about griping on the internet and go back to doing just that.

I've written some things to say to Ellen but since it is already late on a Friday I've decieded not to send anything untill late Sun. night/early Mon. morning, so it doesn't get lost in the weekend shuffle.

 

DirecTV has responded to my e-mail.

A very nice and soft spoken woman from Ellen's office suggests I find a local installation company who would perform the work I need and then submit an estimate to their office. If acceptable, some sort of credits would then be applied to my account in an effort to have me compensated.

All I have to do now is find an authorized DirecTV installer and have him come out here and take a look at what needs to be done.

Looks like this whole process my take a bit of time but so far it does not look like it will be impossible to accomplish.

Anyone have an Authorized DirecTV company that they would care to recommend in New York's Mid Hudson Valley?

 

She wants me to get this rolling in a timely manner so, the question above still stands! ANYBODY????

I googeled Authorized installers Mid-Hudson Valley NY and I only really see one installer and he hasn't called back, so, anyone have a list or a connection with a good guy??

Thanks
Marc

 

Hadn't checked either of those links, I thought Google or the phone book were going to be my best bet.

Thanks for the info.

 

I didn't think that it was even possible for my experience with this non-install to go even more wrong then it already has, but now it has gone from bad to worse.

DirecTV has now taken the money right out of my bank account for this non-installation.

And this is after I mention in my letter to the Office of the Vice President that my on-line bill still reflected the installation charge for the order that the installer had canceled!

I am sure that next month they will credit my account for this latest error, which as I mentioned, had already been brought to their attention, at what is supposed to be the highest levels.
But I was so hoping this situation would have been avoided by reaching out to them before it was too late.

So now, I'm still expected to pay the up-front costs of this upgrade to some Authorized dealer/installer and on top of that I still had the privilege of paying for a job that was never done to begin with. Why not add insult to injury?
At this rate, they will be crediting my account for a period time that only g-d (and DirecTV) knows the duration of.

Of course it's a holiday weekend and no one will be available to even complain to, except for you folks.


Please, no lengthy responses here about the evils of auto bill-pay. I think we are all well aware of what can happen when things go wrong, pehaps now just a bit more aware. Auto bill-pay is only the latest wrinkle in this fiasco and only a small fraction of the problem.
