To be honest, I didn’t think I wanted TIVO until I got TIVO.
Or, to be specific, until i got Time Warner Cable’s DVR, which is built into my cable box. But when I got it, I was instantly hooked. It’s everything they said it would be, and more. And although I don’t tape a ton of shows, the ones I do record are near, and dear to my heart.
Did I just say tape? I did.
Anyway, for some reason, this weekend, while I was away, my Time Warner DVD failed miserably to record “Real Time With Bill Maher”, “SNL”, and “At The Movies With Ebert And Roper”.
Wuh?
So I go online… and there’s not much besides some “tips” that are written for morons ala “what’s DVR?”. So I clicked on the “reach us via our ‘online form’” link… which is deader than a virtual doornail:
So I call.
Already I’m WAY past my time quotient for dealing with this mess. And I’m on hold for almost ever.
And then… I get a dial tone!
I was cut off!
So I called again, and climbed my way through the phone tree only to get cut off yet again.
Kill.
The problem here is not that I missed my precious shows, and that I cried like a little girl. The problem here is that Time Warner NY has such atrocious customer service that I don’t even know HOW to go about reporting this, or somehow asking for their help in fixing it.
And that’s one of the more important aspects of good customer service, isn’t it? When something goes wrong, in this order you:
1) Make yourself obviously available
2) Etc
So…I must ask, ever so nicely:
Time Warner New York? WTF?
