free direct tv + free installation

I took advantage of this a few months ago. I believe a number of employees posted both here and on FatWallet with the necessary details. Fine deal... hated my cable company.
 
I just did this deal about a week ago. And I just wanted to say how GREAT and nice the sales people on the other end of the phone were.

I wanted the Para Todos System with the multisattelite capability but didn't want the spanish channels. The guy needed to override the dual LNB single sattelite dish order to get the other one and his manager just popped in the code without even blinking. So we are getting the 4 line (2 X dual LNB) 18x24" satellite dish with a receiver for 24.95 shipping and handling. And when I talked to the guy I couldn't find my friends employee number so he just said, heck I will put mine in.

And it wasn't just this guy, because I called in about 5 times asking different questions and every time I got a hold of someone they were the nicest most helpful people I ever talked to. So I may have just got lucky, but I have heard stories about Dish Network's customer service and I think that Directv's customer service hands down beats them.

Peace out. And DealBabe I would do like ShrikeAK says and just do a search for directv in the hot deals forum and you will find a couple posts with employee id's in them.
 
very very nice. i was wondering after that first month of the total choice programing thing could we downgrade to something less expensive?
 
It's not hard to install. Just do it yourself instead of wasting any more time with no-shows and cancellations.
 
what the advantage of the Para Todos System over the normal directTV receiver? and do they give u 2 receivers for this deal?

The tales I heard about the install are either great or horrible. Mine went fine... at sign-up time they suggested I let them install on a Saturday. The installer called to say he would be an hour late, then spent two hours hooking up receivers on opposite sides of the house.

About the only warning I would give is to ensure your rigs are near phone jacks. Otherwise, have an extension cable on-hand. In my family room, the TV was about 30 feet (around the walls) from the phone jack. As their 'free limit' is 20ft, the joker wanted to hit me up $30+ for a 10 foot longer run of phone cable. Told him 'nyet'.
 
Hey Pete! I can't believe what ya wrote. All those cancellations and no shows? Well, I'm a DirecTV employee. Contact me and I'll see if I can dig up a number for ya to call. Maybe we can see about expediting your installation. Of course, it'll have to wait until Monday for me to find that number for ya.
I suppose if anybody is interested, ya can email me and I'll supply ya with the info ya need for this deal.
 
Enkidu,


<< I have heard stories about Dish Network's customer service >>


I have ALWAYS had EXCELLENT service form Dish Network.
 
Regarding the ? about changing your subscription package. After one month, if ya want, ya can change your subscription to a lower (or higher)priced one. If you want, you can even cancel your subscription. But so far, I don't know anybody who has done that.
The installers were pretty overwhelmed the past couple of months. So there were some serious delays in setting installation appointments. Hopefully, this should be straightened out now. I highly recommend that you call the number on the Site with the deal a couple of days before the installation date to verify that the installers will be there.
Oh, and if ya order the para todos system, you will only get one receiver. 🙂 Ya gotta cough up the extra $$$ for anymore receivers.
A couple of people who have ordered the system through me asked if the installers would install extra receivers even if they weren't ordered through this deal. Each installer is different. Some may do it with no problem. Others may want to charge ya extra for it. It all depends on the luck of the draw.
 
hesdeadjim, i was wondering if i could use your employee number or reff. # to order the system. I am definately intrested in getting this package
 
The horror stories of installs are indeed true. I spent at least 3 hours on the phone arguing with Customer Service Supervisors at least 6 times to get my free installation. It took them 4 missed appointments over 2 weeks from the first scheduled appointment to get the installer here. Yes, I could have easily installed it myself, but it was a matter of principle. (Not to mention the fact that installing a dish in the middle of winter in Minnesota is very unappealing!) Their customer service beyond their lip service absolutely sucks.
 
Does anyone know of a DirectTV employee? This is something I've been waiting a good while for (the cable company in these parts are horrible). If anyone can give any help, I'd be very very grateful! 🙂
 
They haven't called me to reschedule a new date.
Good luck with your 27 appointment.
I told them to schedulle on the same day of the wk for at least 4 wks, so if they don't show up, they could try again the following week.
Also every time they reschedulle ( 10x already ), they keep asking for the directions to get there. Don't they have computers? or write down the information?
 
by the way.
I got US 60 credit for the non shows. Should be 80. 20 for each of the no shows.
60 credit but still no service to use the credit
 
I contacted the dude from this message that was posted a while back, and he got back to me within 3-4 days with his info.. below is the message he wrote...Just contact him at the email below and tell him you are interested in the deal, and he will hook ya up with his info.



Well, I am a DirecTV employee. We have a plan where we can offer the system (a free dish, receiver and installation) for only $24.95 plus tax. The $$ is just to ship the receiver and dish to you. The only obligations are that you activate the service within thirty days and subscribe to the $31.99 package for one month. If you want, after thirty days, you can change or cancel your subscription. Here is the site with all the details:

If anybody is interested, feel free to email me at hesdeadjim@ureach.com. By the way, so ya all will know, for employees, there are certain milestones for referrals. So we get a prize depending on how many referrals we give out. Nothing really big, unless we get some ungodly amount. Then it could be a trip to the super bowl.


 
Hmmm, I posted earlier on this thread a link for people to email me. I guess it may have been overlooked.
Anyways, somebody with a neoplanet email address wrote me. Just wanna let ya know that your email addy bounced.
As far as the contest for giving out referrals, well, that ended Dec. 31. So as far as I know, we don't get anything outta referring people now. But if there is anybody who wants the system, just write me. Click on the link to get my email addy. LINK
 
pete777, only $60 in credit? They gave me $60 in credit AND 1 month of platinum pkge free and I still say it was a raw deal. I'd be ripping into them. Their free install isn't worth the pain of dealing with the dumbassed supervisors!
