CABLE BOX REGISTRATION AND DEPLOYMENT


Registration and Deployment of new Cable Box
left click to supersize
-
Soon, the new Comcast Cable Box will be deployed to all of our Unit Owners.
Clearly this will take some time as we have 7854 apartments which will require careful scheduling and execution.
-
The process is simple and your co-operation will be required to make it happen. Each Unit Owner must come to the Clubhouse in accord with the schedule published above. Comcast Personnel will be in Meeting room C and they will collect information from each person and make an appointment for actual installation of the new box.
-
The installing technician will install the box on the day of your appointment, and show each of you how it works and how to use the Remote Control.

For those of you who work during the day, and for those of you who miss your scheduled appointment; extended hours will be held on Wednesdays and Thursdays, until 7:00pm.
-
Please post questions in the Comment Stream

Dave Israel
Cable chair
VP - UCO

IMPORTANT NOTE
-
No boxes will be delivered in the Clubhouse during registration.
Your boxes will be delivered and installed in your apartments by a Comcast Technician, at an existing outlet of your choice.

There are some Sabbath observers who live in Wellington E and G. They cannot come on Saturday as per schedule. What is their alternative? Your understanding is appreciated

Hi Gerest,
May 21, 2009 6:50:00 PM,

As noted at the bottom of the flyer, if you miss your appointment, come to register on Wednesday or Thursday between 5:00pm and 7:00pm.

"WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY HOURS EXTENDED UNTIL 7:00 PM FOR THOSE WITH DAYTIME JOBS AND THOSE WHO MISS THEIR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS"

what's the number to call to make an appointment for the installation ?? I'm not coming to your stinking clubhouse and be abused by your volunteers.

The Registration will be done by Comcast personnel, and no one will be abused by anyone.

Have you any concept of how many dollars our Unit Owners are saved by the work of our UCO volunteers?

Please come to the Clubhouse to register, because if you wait and call Comcast, outside of the planned rollout process; there may be a Technician visit charge.

dave,phyllis here, what kind of i.d. needs to be presented? i have a unit in cambridge but my i.d. is for somerset where i live.

Ken said...

Hi Phyllis. I would do nothing if it were me. If you rent it, the renter would get it, sign for it and be responsible for it. Same holds true if you sell it. New owner would be the responsible person.
Good to hear from you

Nony Mouse said...

Dave, example please...
If I live in Hastings, would I simply go to the clubhouse on June 5 (my registration day?), then they would give me the box, and then I would go home and install it and I would be done? Do I understand this correctly?
If so - now - what happens if I go on June 5, get my box - but need help to install it?

Thank you for your kind service,
A Nony Mouse

Oops, sorry Dave.
I just read a little father down the chart and now understand that the day that I go register and get my box - they will sign me up fo an installment date. Correct?

Your volunteer's stupidity has cost the unit owners millions and millions of dollars. We now pay $350 for the privelidge of living in a ghetto.
However, I said nothing was going to change until UCO killed someone...and now it's happened.

Step up to the plate, Dave... make UCO legal..invite in the Building Dept...set up an office for the State Condo inspector..clean up your act...or else

Grace said...

Dave, you are doing a great job. These anonymous who crawl out from their rocks to verbally attack and abuse are something else. If he/she/they doesn't like the ghetto they can sell and move, the sooner the better. If I want to get 2 boxes can I pay for one? I don't know which TV I want to have the major programs. I would like to buy, preferably or rent the second one.

Read the UCOReporter there are 7 references to many village people being rude and abusive. We are lucky there is only one on the blog. Forgot their medication again

Excellent questions:

You have it partially correct but with one misconception.

Each unit owner will register and sign for their box, but you will not receive your box during registration.

You will make an appointment for a Comcast Technician to deliver and install your box in your unit.

The box will be connected at any EXISTING outlet of your choice, and the technician will show you how to operate the box via the included remote control.

I believe that one item has really not been talked about, "THE COST" to our residents. I have had 3 calls this AM & therefore I think this needs to be said

Sign up Free
Box Free
Monthly cost Free
Installed Free

What a Deal

But no Free Beer

Volunteering should not give permission to the volunteer to be nasty and abusive. I apologize for the stinking clubhouse. It does not stink. The ushers do.

Emma, name the articles and page numbers that refer to the rude and abusive people in this month's Reporter.

I, for one, have never met so many nice and courteous people, all in one area. Is it possible that you were under the weather?

You were not at the very rude golf presentation.
Can you read the Reporter. 7 was an estimate, so clever you are.
P2 security, p4cable letter, p5 Cruz, p7 Cornish, p9 Karp crook, P34 drunk, gladstone arguments.
Imagine how many there were before the editors cleaned out unpleasnatness.

Dave,
As a building president, I'd like to know if I could make a appointment, on the assigned day, for a disabled person who would have great difficulty showing up at registration. Would I have the 'authority' to act in her stead? What of other owners who are up North at this time. May I register for them as well? Thanks in advance.

UCO President said...

Hi Randall
May 25, 2009 7:43:00 AM,

Super question with wide application.

If you bring a photocopy of the Unit Owner ID, Comcast will sign that owner up.

As regards owners, not currently in residence, you will have to make the appointment and let the technician in to install the box.

Their are some issues in this process:

1) As soon as you register this seasonal owner and the box is installed, the billing commences, in other words the entire Village starts paying starting on July 1, 2009 based on the number of boxes then installed.

2)It's your signature on the box contract. (May not be an issues since comcast has the ID photocopy)

3) The absent owner does not get the associated training.

4) Be sure to find out from the owner, which TV they want the box installed on, if there are multiple sets.

Dave, you are like the that little Energizer battery that keeps on going and going and going.
Thanks for answering all the cable questions over and over and over.

It's not energy..it's guilt.

Dave screwed the people of Century Village and now wants to make out like he did something good.

Where's that professional management that will save us millions ???
