i am wondering if anyone has a phone number for DirecTV that isn't the normal one? I have had so many problems with them over the last 6 months and i would like to vent to someone higher up on the food chain that normal because that hasn't done a bit of good.

Do a search for customer retention phone number. You should use that.

Check out the fourth post of Fredfa's Hot of the Press thread for the numbers you are looking for.
