Misadventures in Customer Service: DirecTV
Aaron, a friend of mine has been having some problems with DirecTV. Seems they won’t give him what they promised.
All I want is my DVR at no charge which was what I was promised. I don’t want to be the proverbial hot potato. I want my account dealt with accordingly. I don’t want to sit on hold forever while the incompetent people at DirecTV figure out what my problem is and get me to the right person. If you want to know, just ask me. Or better yet, read this blog along with the other 2k people per day and 200 RSS subscribers that do.
Hopefully the blog community can help him out and get DirecTV to fold and do what’s right. Good luck Aaron.
The Multi-Talented Sharp Papyrus PW-TC900
Having a gadget that can translate across languages is cool. But it’s even better if you can also use that device as a television set. It’s way better if the gadget can serve as your photo viewer or even MP3 player when you insert an SD card or MMC with your media files. The Sharp Papyrus PW-TC900 does just that!
This is the first Japanese and Japanese-English dictionary with a 1Seg digital TV tuner and a SUPERB display. Only Sharp can make such displays, thanks to their ASV technology (resolution: 480×272). AS TV alone is never enough in Japan, the dictionary also has an MP3 player and an SD slot.
The TC900 will be available in Japan this December. Sharp has not yet announced pricing.
