I had an install scheduled today from 8-12. The guy calls me at 12:15 and is an hour away. I told him don't bother. I then call D* to reschedule and they tell me they can't reschedule until November 3rd. I told them don't bother, I'll stick with cable and give me the $200 I spent on the extra DVR back. For some reason the install guys schedule way too many appointments in way too short a time space and I have no reason to believe this won't happen again and again if I did reschedule.
I can't see how D* can get new customers if this is the way they handle these things. They must lose a lot of folks like me. Do they not even have a system in place to prioritize reschedules when it is no fault of the customer? If not, that's absurd. I would rather have Satellite, but honestly cable's customer service is better.

How bad do you want it ?
A local retailer might be able to get to you within a day or two - but he may charge you a fee ... directv may tell you Nov 3rd ... but there is always a chance that you could call the installation company and ask them to put you down for a cancellation - or you can check online and see if they have anything sooner ...
If you want it bad enough - i'd go with a local retailer and see what he says first (D already had a chance and blew it) If you don't get what you want there - call and try D again and then call the installation company a couple of times to get on a wait-list for a cancellation - then call them the night before the install - then again the morning of the install ... ask them if they can schedule you as the fist appointment of the day ... if you are pleasant enough on the phone - many things are possible

you are right willx but if you want the service then you must be extra patient. would it be better to wait until it slows down so they can be exact on the appointments? that will take even longer. I know you're right but if you want the service just accept the fact that it's crazy right now. when i signed up again back in march i did it online, got an install appointment for the very next day between 8-12 and the installer was ready at 7:48 am. but it was a slower time for D. Football season is the busiest time for D. Just go for it buddy 
maybe a local retailer would be faster but that's not guaranteed. I don't know if they will charge more either.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
