My recent DirecTV experience:

I call and ask for HDTV. OK, they'll be there on Tuesday before 5. They call at 6 and say they are running late. I tell them they do NOT want to come here after dark. She says she'll talk to the tech and call me back. Nothing.

I call DT the next day, they'll send someone out the next Tuesday. Now, understand I have told them in writing and in person that it's a 4WD road and they a need a truck that will get them out w/o a tow. So the guy shows up at the front gate, gate lady calls me and says it's a rickety old van and will never make it. So he goes back to get a truck. Never heard from them again.

I call back 3 days later and cancel. The guy was really nice and I said I'd like to tell his supervisor he was doing a good job. He said he'd have his supervisor call me - NOTHING, lol. They can't even call me back to get a compliment!

The funny thing is when I call, I'm noted as "one of their top tier customers". I guess because I have everything and have for 5+ years.

After the holidays, I'm checking with the local cable company and seeing if they can come down here and see what they have program wise. DirecTV can rot.
