Install (rescheduled)
Switching from DishNetwork. Ordered online on 7/7/10 (via costco.com) for 2 HD-DVRs, one HD receiver and ICK for whole-home DVR service and install was scheduled for today (8 - 12). During ordering, requested the DVRs be H24s and receiver be H24.
Today: Installer called at 7:30AM to tell me that the warehouse did not have the HR24/H24s so someone from his company will call to reschedule.
At 8:15, a gentleman at Mastec called me to say the same thing and rescheduled for Wednesday 7/21/10 (8AM-12Noon). He confirmed that my work order has 2 HR24s and a H24 listed and so that is what I will get. He also said that many customer installs are affected by the non-availability of this equipment.
I will have to wait and see if install goes through OK next Wednesday.
I am disappointed but worth a wait if I will get the HR24s. I will update next week after the install.
This forum has been very helpful in the past few days to understand DirecTV service and all new customer promotions. I used costco, referral from a friend and BING. CSR at DirecTV confirmed that I signed up through a retailer (could not tell which one). My bing cashback account shows 40% of my initial payment as pending, and DirecTV Email confirmation shows refer-a-friend. Hope everything remain in my account after activation.
