Why would you wait around? Did you have an appointment time set?Well after waiting all around his boss never showed up, I got his company name for the supervise and the install tech and I called them and after explains to adcomm why I needed that info they refused to give it to me. I called direct tv last night after the guy did not show up by 10 pm as I skipped going to the gym and had my half brother pick up my sister from the airport so I could be around for when the guy shows up, he never managed to show up for whatever reason the case may be for why he condo not show up direct tv was very nice about and I am supposed to get a call back from there "escalation" department and waiting on hold for a good 30 minutes while they "checked there resources in the field in my area " I finally got an tech on Friday to come out and the "escalation" department put it under the warranty they have so I would not have to pay for the tech visit, now hopefully the tech they send out has installed a wired deca and know what it is used for
Why would you set an appointment with all that personal stuff you had to do...Go to the gym. Run to the airport?
Look I have to ask these things. I was a tech....For 12 years. I cannot begin to count how many times people would tell me they had other things going on and would be in a hurry. They claim they "told the satellite company"...or they forgot about their appointment....Ask them to reschedule for a more convenient time? NO WAY.. But they wanted me to hurry through the job....Look, I am not blaming you. However, this appointment thing? It is a two way street. TV is no different than the painter, electrician or the plumber. You tell one of them, they have to hurry because you decided to multi task that day, they are taking a walk.
Here. this will relieve your stress. Call directv get the escalation dept on the phone. Explain the issue. DEMAND someone show up and CALL before they head for your home....Get an APPOINTMENT time.....Clear out your day.. At least 4 hours of unencumbered time. Let the guy get the work done. Tell him to clean ( I cannot believe the last guy left a mess. That to me is grounds for instant termination) up after himself. Make sure he tests the system to make sure ALL of the tv's function normally.
You are asking for something quite simple. That is a good customer service experience. That is not too much to ask.
