I had to call DTV Customer Sevice for the first time last night. After reading some of the horror stories on here, I wasnt sure what to expect. I got right in with no waiting, which was a pleasant surprise, and actually spoke with someone who spoke English!! Already this is much better than my experience with Dish in the past. The CSR was knowledgable and friendly. Turns out remote was bad, and they are sending a new one. I have the protection plan, so there is no charge. I am well pleased with this experience, and with DTV in general. Just wanted to let people know that not everyone has problems with customer service at DTV.
