We decided to upgrade to the DVR since we are avid NASCAR fans and want to record the radio channels anytime we are away from the TV. I had blocked the whole experience out of my mind...but reading your blog brought it to the forefront of my memory. Let me just summarize it by saying that a very uhhappy DirecTV technician wanted to see what real people did for fun at 9:45 (PM that is...) on a Saturday night...because that's when he showed up to install the box. We had been going round and round all day about whether we were "on the schedule" or not and they didn't like the fact that I had documented times/ phone numbers and names of people I had talked to throughout the day. They need to be thanking their lucky stars it was so close to the Daytona Speedweeks or we would be happy cable customers right now. Cedric the Technician was none too happy when I reiterated for the umteenth time that yes, I was on the schedule, and YES, he would install my box before the day was over. He thought by telling my how far from my house he was (on the other side of town...) and how long it would take him to drive to my house (at least another hour) that I would tell him it was OK, he could get to me another day. Sorry, Cedric. But we did get on another schedule - another technician showed up at the front door on Valentine's Day...to install the DVR we had been using for two weeks. Imagine that!

That is SO SIMILAR to my experience with them. Just the other day I went in to return a modem and make sure my account balance was at $0 (I got married and moved and cancelled my service). The nice lady behind the counter told me that I still owed "$135. For the modem." I just pointed at it and was like, uhhh. She still couldn't quite grasp why I didn't need to pay for something that was sitting on her counter. I think I need to blog about this. I’ll bet anything you use Comcast.
