I read in a few threads that DTV was getting rid of Apex as their installers in Chicago Nov 1st. Now that we have arrived at this date does anyone have any info on who the new company is? My 11/3 install was scrubbed on 10/21 and no further info from DTV on it.

I think it is more the other way around...
Apex was getting Rid of DirecTV as their "install" source.
But regardless... I have not heard who/what firm is replacing them in the Chicago Area.
I would call DirecTV later this afternoon... and try to get some more details.

Okay. My brother-in-law just got hired by Apex, or should I say the new company. I asked him the name of the new company, but I forgot. Sorry.
But I do remember that he said it was a company out of florida. He said that they have been around for about a year and were very aggressive in buying some of the other installers....
He is in training right now learning the ropes.
When he comes home this weekend I will ask the name, unless someone else can think of this FL company.

Sent the info via PM, but will expound here a little more. I just called the install number for DTV and after about 4 4-5 minute holds the rep came back with a Nov 10th install. I asked if it was a real install or just another date and she said it's the first available install date and that they should have the equipment.bonus20 said:
i called D* and Apex in a 3 way call.ttiger72 said:
Apex stated they have the equipment but are booked and therefore cannot schedule me. I was told to call back next week to see where they are at, but she she stated they are booked with all installs for a month.
I stated that anyone who ordered after me should get bumped and I should get installed. I even offered her lunch.
So i'm SOL for now, will just keep calling apex and hopefully something will work out.
Funny Apex is "booked" all month and they are just by happenstance ending the DTV relationship in about a month. Hmmmmmmbonus20 said:i called D* and Apex in a 3 way call.

I did not get one. what number did they call give you for a call back?
I'm thinking of calling and playing dumb and saying I got a call also.
BTW, where do you live? Maybe it is because of where we live? I live in Lake Zurich / Hawthorn Woods in Lake County.
Thanks

My HR20 install was scheduled yesterday (Thursday) between 8:00 and 12:00. No show all morning so I called Apex at 12:00 and they said the installer was behind schedule and would be here in the afternoon. At 2:45 the installer arrived with the equipment and was finished at 4:30. Nice installation and so far everything works okay.
When did you order your HR20 and were you ever cancelled? I originally ordered on 9/29, originally scheduled for a 10/27 install - which was cancelled. Now I am still in limbo and cannot get a schedule date with Apex.laurier said:
Also, where are you located?
Thanks

I ordered on 10/9 and originally had a 10/27 installation date but I had to reschedule. On the D* web site it said the 10/27 was cancelled but I had the job no. and called Apex directly to set it up. I'm in Woodridge and the Apex office is in Sugar Grove.bonus20 said:
I guess i will call apex again and plead with them. This was my argument with them and D* yesterday that people like me who ordered before someone like you should be given priority. they said they are and I did not believe it. Ugh.laurier said:
Hope you are enjoying the HD. I hope to have HD in time to see the Bears pummel the Giants
Just called D* and actually got a 11/29 install. Wish it was earlier so I can watch the beloved Bears over the next few weeks.
Man are they screwed up over there.
I will be calling Apex today to see if I can get it moved up.
Any suggestions that may get that to happen????

Well, my install date has arrived and called DTV at 1:30p and was given an ETA of 4pm. At 5pm I was given an ETA of 6pm. It's raining and pitch dark.....do not have a good feeling about this at all. Hope I won't get canceled or get a crappy install

That's what you get for being a Bears fan. Go Giants!bonus20 said:
Just kidding. Your story is among many. I wonder if we shouldn't all get together in this forum to create a new nationwide independent install company offering things like "service", "support", "credibility" and all those other catch-words that seem to escape other companies. Seriously, with all the knowledge here, it would be easy to train people and go to D* with a company ready to go out of the box. Of course, the pay....
