He was running quite late but kept me informed of his ETA by phone/text. Gave me information on how to do what I wanted with my cords (he couldn't do in alloted time) and hooked up my Roku and removed unused electronics. Service was fine/acceptable but not extraordinary.
Description of Work: Hooked up my Roku, moved my speakers behind the TV, removed electronics not in use.

Eric was very friendly and professional. He didn't mind showing me how he went about hiding the wires. The TV mount bracket and one hdmi cable was included in the deal. We needed an extra hdmi cable which cost an additional $99.00, but those cables are expensive if you buy it on your own too. It only took him a little over an hour. I gave him a B for punctuality, because he was 20 minutes late, and said he forgot the extra cable and had to go back for it.
Description of Work: A flat screen TV was mounted on the wall with the wires hidden.

We wanted to install an antenna and "cut the cord" at our house. I didn't see any easy way to disconnect the coax cable from the satellite dish in order to connect it to the antenna. So I left a message inquiring if Direct Digital Solutions would be able to help. He explained to me how to do that myself and offered to provide assistance over the phone if I got stuck. They could have just come out and charged me but he took the time to explain how simple it was so that I could do the project myself. He even contacted me on Sunday to see how my project was going.
Description of Work: Provided advice on installing an antenna

We paid for a big deal, but there was a miscommunication with the provider. He contacted us through Angie's List, but we did not check there, because we were expecting to hear from him either by telephone or our regular email (the practice of most providers). As a result, we did not respond to his suggestion for dates to do the work on Angie's List, and it has still not been done. Because this situation is the result of an honest mistake, and we hope to re-establish contact with the provider, this report is preliminary.

Response from Direct Digital Solutions
Good Morning, we wanted to extend our apologies for the issues of communication that you had. We strive for the best customer service possible. We clients that have not given us the opportunity to show them that service, they pull the trigger to fast on the ratings. When a situation like this we prefer the customer to contact us for solutions and when they do we give them a free hour added to there BIG DEAL and Free phone tech support. We realized that our low grades come from customers we never had the pleasure of working for them. We really wish for an opportunity to resolve before it becomes a premature rating. We have submitted the email request to refund your money. Thank You.

Eric was very professional and easy to work with. He showed up on time and was able to set up our surround sound in our bonus room and mount the television in our living room and bonus room. Further he was able to set up our surround sounds and got our subwoofer working that had been acting up. I would defenitely work with Eric again and I think the 2 hour deal is a great offer.
Description of Work: We had 2 televisions mounted in our home (including running wires behind the wall) and mounted 2 speakers to brackets on the wall that he installed. Also we had wires run behind the wall in one room which we mounted the television ourselves. They also set up our surround sound system.

I purchased the 2 hour service for $79 and cancelled my purchase after speaking with them and being informed that it would take a entire day to reconnect the cables on my home theater receiver (that had been disconnected after I had carpet installed) and to connect 2 additional speakers by running the wire against the wall right above my kitchen cabinets (not behind the wall). The wall is right next to my home theater system. I think I could do it myself in less than 2 hours. We agreed that this offer would not work out for me and I should get my money refunded. I contacted Angie, as well. So far I have not heard from Digital solutions - nor Angie about my refund. I had to open a credit card dispute. This is a black eye for Angie, as well as for Digital Solutions.
Description of Work: The provider did NOTHING!

They did not contact me for a month (during which time all ny suggested service dates had come and gone.) By that time I was disgusted by the lack of professionalism and debating whether to use them or not. Eventully I decided to ask for a refund, and not have my tv mounted.

Hello [member name removed] we charged you 59.00 for parts and labor to do the electrical for the TV, we are hear to give customers great deals, however we would like to keep our doors open to serve more clients. So we had to charge more for the electrical. Fell free to shop us and let us know if a competitor has a better rate that includes, wall fishing (labor), TV bracket mount (materials), 15ft 3D HDMI cord, wall plates, configuration of equipment, explanation of how equipment works and phone tech support. Please feel free to let us know we will adjust the coupon. Also never let someone leave your home if there is something you don't like give them an opportunity to fix it to your standard because we pride ourselves in asking customers how do they like the work so far. If the can be honest then we get a bad rating and you have to leave something in your home that you don't like. So if we can correct this for you give me a call and we will fix it to get an A approval. My name is Eric, 9196855887, Call or text. Thank You for your business.

The provider refused to honor the Deal as it is listed. The Deal is advertised to cover all the services I need (TV wall mounting, installing a sound bar, etc.) and he wanted to charge me more and more money when all of the services I needed should have been covered per the terms of the Deal. I understand that if I had a lot more work that needed done there would have been additional charges, but this was a basic install and should have been covered per the terms of the Big Deal. I feel that the description of the Deal is very misleading in reference to what he is actually willing to do so I have contacted Angie's List for a refund of the Deal.
Description of Work: This was a Big Deal purchase for Last Chance: $79 for Two Hours of Audio/Video Installation Service

I needed to upgrade my entire AV system in my living room. Relocate and hide exposed wiring. Set up a wireless network. Install a theater surround system & configure infrared controls with remote control through my smart phone. They did a great job. Everything works and functions 100% better than before. Will use them again for upgrades.

Direct Digital Solutions was very honest & upfront with me with their hourly costs before we booked a service date. Because their hourly rates are so high, I am guessing they have had problems in the past with the shock of the cost. I did not book any service with them as the rate was so high and they said they would refund my Angie's List Big Deal coupon.

Hi [removed member name] the is the description of work that you wanted performed in your home. In your review you made a quote "I am guessing they have had problems in the past with the shock of the cost." The big deal coupon that your using is not for crawling under your home running wires from the closet wallfished up to fireplace. So you stated we were so high and when we quoted you we priced labor and materials in your rate. You will need electrical wiring for a plug behind the tv and fire place, you would need multiple HDMI cables 50 ft plus long from the back of TV to closet, you may need electrical in the closet for the devices that you want to plug in, the cost in materials for that can be 150 to 200 dollars. So as a company we reserve the right to give out pricing and estimates to customers based on the work that the want to be perform. If a customer doesn't like our pricing the move to someone else. We do not work to get F's we work to get A's based on our craftsmanship and how we treat customers. We didn't not perform any work for you, we gave you honesty and you rated us on guessing our price is too high. Below is a copy and paste of what you wanted done and we can do all that using a 79.00 for two hrs coupon that is a full 8 plus hr job. [removed member name] 1/2/2014 I now have a meeting on 1/6 in AM so that is not going to work for me. I have a TV that I would like mounted above fireplace and ideally would like the DVR, Apple TV and DVD player put in closet with wires run through crawlspace. I imagine I will need an outlet put above fireplace behind TV. I have a 43" Samsung Plasma TV and have NOT purchased a wall mount for it.
