Has anyone signed up for whole house with the new 5 tuner HR34 and installers didn't have it. Has anyone refused installation? What happened?
How can you refused a HMC install when they don't have a HMC to install?tomallison24 said:Has anyone signed up for whole house with the new 5 tuner HR34 and installers didn't have it. Has anyone refused installation? What happened?
I'll have to check out which are the rollout areas. I haven't got that far yet, I only started thinking about switching 3 or so days ago. I am in NE Ohio.CCarncross said:You need to make sure your order is for the HMC. If it wasnt, then you got what you ordered. If you really ordered the HMC, then to refuse the install is fine. Are you in a currently rolled out HMC market?
Best way to prevent this from happening again, is contact a Local Retailer.. They will give you the EXACT same price as D* Corp will, but you will eliminate all the hassles of "hoping" the installer has what the work order calls for..tomallison24 said:I'll have to check out which are the rollout areas.

I have been told by 3 CSR's that I am getting the 5 tuner HR34. I know at least one should have been recorded by D*.
I tried to use the same dealer that installed my Dish 2.5 years ago. He told me deals were the same except he couldn't do the referral $100/$100 discount so I called Directv direct.kcaudiofx said:Best way to prevent this from happening again, is contact a Local Retailer..

Did a DBS and google search. I couldn't find the rollout areas. Will someone point out where to find the list?CCarncross said:You need to make sure your order is for the HMC.

It looks like you're a current Dish subscriber. If you're a new customer to D* you can get an HR34 (no such thing as a "rollout area" in your case.)tomallison24 said:Did a DBS and google search. I couldn't find the rollout areas. Will someone point out where to find the list?
Not trying to hound you into going through a dealer, but I would open up the phone book and look for a local dealer besides the one you went through, because EVERY dealer CAN do the Refer-A-Friend. He is probably choosing NOT to since it costs all dealers $75.00 to do so. Yes, we try and stay away from doing it, BUT if a solid customer called me and brings that up, I am for sure not going to turn him/her down over a measly $75.00tomallison24 said:I tried to use the same dealer that installed my Dish 2.5 years ago.

HMC went national on the 8th there is no such thing as a roll out market anymore.CCarncross said:You need to make sure your order is for the HMC. If it wasnt, then you got what you ordered.

What equipment is listed on the order sent to you?tomallison24 said:Just to clarify, I have already signed up with Directv(last night). Install is 1/9. Thanks for your help, all.

Right now, and probably for the next couple of years, HMC means only a HR34 can be installed.tomallison24 said:1-HMC HDDVR
