Is a DIRECTV waiver something you’ve needed while at work?  If you’re a marine electronics installer, it is.  If installing DIRECTV on luxury crafts and service vessels is part of your day-to-day duties, you know what these waivers are.  You probably also know how troublesome it can be to get them processed.  It’s more than a little frustrating and time consuming, right?  Now brace yourself for some good news.  Signal Connect can get your DIRECTV waivers pushed through in minutes.  All you have to do is call us.  Yes, waivers are that easy when you partner with Signal Connect!

What is a DIRECTV Installation Waiver?

For marine electronics installers, a waiver is a way of life.  If you were to install DIRECTV on a home or commercial building, it’s fairly easy to get close to a 100 percent signal rating.  This isn’t always possible on a boat, though.  On any given day, a vessel can be docked at a marina, out to sea, or in storage.  It’s mobile nature causes the signal to fluctuate, and sometimes fall beneath DIRECTV’s threshold.  When this happens, AT&T is notified, and they contact the installer to find out why the installation is not receiving proper signal strength.

It’s common for DIRECTV to forbid the account activation until optimal signal is reached.  When it’s a marine installation, the folks at DIRECTV understand that the signal can vary in these environments.  If your marine DIRECTV installation falls beneath the signal threshold, DIRECTV can issue you a waiver.  As you might already know, this allows you to finish the installation and activation. 

Getting a waiver isn’t always the easiest thing to do.  It’s not that DIRECTV won’t do it.  (They understand the nature of marine satellite TV installations.)  The hard part is getting ahold of someone in the communication company’s customer care department.  If you’ve called for a waiver in the past, you know this.  You probably got transferred around or put on hold in the call center.  As an installation professional, you don’t have time to wait for these waivers because it keeps you from moving on to your next job.
