DirecTV Numéro de téléphone des comptes nationaux

Calling DirecTV isn’t a tedious process, but callers should expect to spend some time on the phone, as I recently learned. When I first called, the automated system’s recording stated that my call would be recorded, and I could press 8 for Spanish.

After this quick message, no menu of options was provided, so I had to say a word or phrase indicating my issue, question, or concern. As a DirecTV subscriber, I wanted to find out if there was any update to a recent dilemma restricting local access to certain stations. Many customers found out that due to failed contract negotiations, some local stations were being pulled from DirecTV's lineup. 

I wasn't sure which phrase or word would lead me directly to an agent, so I said 'customer service.' At this point, I was placed on hold and was told my estimated wait time was one minute. This was accurate, as a customer service representative answered in around 30 seconds. I began explaining my situation, and as a customer, I wanted to find out the latest information regarding the non-negotiated channels.

Unfortunately, the rep said he couldn't help me since I had been transferred to the commercial accounts department and needed to speak with someone in residential accounts. He placed me on another hold, but this time, I was redirected back to the automated system, which prompted me to enter an account number. After providing this information, I was asked to state whether I was calling about satellite TV, internet TV or streaming. I also had to restate my issue or concern, so I said 'customer service.' Another hold led to a longer wait time, probably around five minutes. 

I was getting impatient but hung on for a little longer until a rep came on the line and asked how he could help me. Quickly stating my concern again regarding the inaccessible channels, the rep patiently but succinctly shared that negotiations were ongoing, but at this time, there was no update as to when the local channels may return. He also shared the frustration that many subscribers across the country are experiencing, adding that several customers had canceled their plans even though the major networks held more responsibility in removing the channels from the lineup. 

Expressing my displeasure at the lack of information about a potential timeline for the returning channels, I asked if there were any concessions DirecTV could offer in the meantime. He assured me that DirecTV is trying to do what's best for their customers and appreciates the continued support. He suggested that I also contact my local stations to share my opinion, he said I could check back in a week or so and would also attempt to offer a small credit to my account. While I didn't receive a helpful resolution to this problem, I was content to speak with a rep and share my frustration over this ongoing challenge.
