Genie Remote

I called Friday none of my remotes were working once we had the premium channels removed. Called customer service the lady attempted to troubleshoot and after seeing she could do nothing but to reorder remotes however she stated she could not finalize the order due to her system was down advised me to call back and it should show her notes to just advise the next rep to look for the notes and to just finalize the order. I called back this morning and reached someone in the Philippians and she one did not understand anything I was asking.and when the agent was verifying my account she repeated all my personal account information incorrect I explained why I was calling and she again could not understand my situation I asked for a Supervisor and she had me wait for 35 minutes and then stated I would have to hang on. This is unacceptable one that I had to go on You Tube to find out how to troubleshoot one of my controllers and unfortunately my other remotes wouldn't work,  two is that with the amount we are paying for Direct TV you would think you all would hire people that know what they are doing.  I called right back to see if someone else could assist me in getting my 2 other remotes sent to me thankfully a Ebony answered was able to see the information advised me will send out the remotes and confirmation will be sent to my email. I have yet received and email of the remotes being sent out.

Removing the premium channels has no effect on the remotes. Have you tried pressing and holding the mute and enter buttons?

Yes , Several times with the first tech support person and she stated that she put in the order for new remotes to be sent however she was not able to finalize the order due to her systems were down. I decided to go to You Tube and it advised me to put in a code after resetting the main remote and it worked. At no time did the first rep advise us of this and I was on the phone for over 45 minutes she advised me to call back to finalize the order. I called back yesterday due to our other remotes are not working at all and got someone in the Philippians who I could not understand as well as she could not understand why I was calling back so I decided to hang up and call back and I got Ebony who stated she was going to send out the remotes I have no confirmation of the order as she stated in the meantime we are not able to change the channels on the back boxes which means we are not able to watch what we are paying for.
