Erm, just tell the CSR that you do not agree to the 1yr commit. That can't "Force" the 1 year on you if you don't agree to it on activation... Granted, some CSRs are thick headed and don't read the script so they don't remember that part... But it's plain as day in the script... ~

Actually, a few RCA IRDs, D10-200, and I think one other box are affected... And the reason given in the scripts was "Due to changes in the way that DirecTV broadcasts affected receivers will have: Channel not Available, Channels missing from guide, or a green screen until the unit is reset."...

BTW, DTV is currently offering $200 off HD equip (With credit approval) of former VOOM customers. At least I think that's what I remember.

No, the D10-??? IRDs will be upgraded around August if lucky. Only the D10s will be working at this time. ~

No, only the "D10". All the D10-??? IRDs will change I believe in August some time. ~

Erm, CANDY... That wasn't nice. T_T Any CSR can get him a DVR for the $14.95 H&D fee instead of the full $99+14.95H&D charge. Also, if he talked to CRG... He could get one at no cost... CANDYGIRL... Which queue do you answer? You've stated before that you don't give a crap about...

Wow, I hope 'CANDYGIRL' is okay... s/he hasn't posted to this thread in such a long time... ~

You get a commitment for programming if you accept any 'special' offers such as $5 / $10 off a month your TC/TCPremier for 6 months, free locals for 6 months / etc. (This doesn't include the Free Showtime you're offered sometimes or the 3 free months of Starz that is currently there.) Also...

Erm, sortsol. If you just 'deactivated' that IRD then you'd be fine just calling up and requested it be readded to your account. No commit needed at all. ~

Resend Authorizations F2, arrow down to resend all authorizations Hit the do key (-) - Wow, correct! Change IPPV to N Ff2, access card, arrow all the down to ippv, arrow down below charge mirroring fee, and on ippv mark no, hit the do key (-) - Erm, from Show Sub: F2 -> Correct Card...

Could you explain how they could send the single IRD a "call back" message when the dish itself doesn't TRANSMIT anything? If the IRD isn't connected to a phone line, it's not going to make a phone call. However, when the IRD -DOES- make a phone call back. (Which can be requested.) It will...

Wow, Doris has all those answers? Where? Give me a search term to use to pull up the answer to each of those questions since it knows. Peh, Doris sucks. Also, whomever write her up needs to use a SPELLCHECK. ~ P.S. Since you're a CSR... In -STMS-... What're the steps (Use your F-keys if...

I wish the protection plan was that nice. I've seen times where a person ordered it six months ago(Without a claim), and they still charge them for a service call/etc. I'd swear, the N.E.W. reps can be real jerks. >.<
