installation was good - but incomplete. many channels that are part of my line up now show as "not supported". I just recently tried to listen to my music channels and they all show as "not supported".

The tech was not able to get everything programmed and was unprepared. He had to use my laptop to do the programming. But This is our first issue with Geek Squad.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to share this with us. I apologize for the disappointment. This is not the kind of service we aim to provide you. It's always frustrating when an appointment doesn't live up to standards. We hope you give us another opportunity to better serve you in the future.

After a return visit by the Geeks, the remote still doesn't turn on the sound bar when turning on the other components. I blame the product itself. Too many bells and whistles to work effectively.

Still not working properly. They continue to return die to programming/connectivity issues. Maybe it’s time they send their Magnolia Tram to troubleshoot.
Issues with logitech harmony Pro remote getting new receiver to work with new LG oled tv to have audio from what is being seen on tv to play on speakers on zone 2. Speakers work bec we can hear it play music. Seems like geeks have not programmed output source correctly.
We appreciate your feedback. It's always frustrating when appointments are not readily available. We apologize for the inconvenience. We're glad to hear you are enjoying your Harmony remote. We hope you give us another opportunity to better serve you in the future.

They wanted to leave before the Pioneer theater was fully programed. Once programed I saw the issue... The remote is not user friendly to Pioneer receivers.

While the universal remote appears to be a perfect solution to linking all the components of your smart TV, DVD, cable/satellite box, Apple TV, etc., it is, as yet, an unrealized, imperfect, and unpredictable headache. I have found, after almost two years and two hundred dollars of Geek Squad visits, that the purchase of a universal remote was a mistake and that it fails to provide the promised service. I am currently using a combination of the universal remote and the cable remote. Doesn't this contradict the very notion of a "universal remote"?

the geek squad in Miami came to the house and never fixed the remote. Originally Magnolia put in surround sound and mounted the TV,s and did the remote for the TV. I understand with Covid I couldn't,t get ahold of anyone in Ventura.. The remote is still not fixed.. Can you get anyone at Magnolia in Ventura to fx my remote.. I will be back down January 21st through January 29th..

Terrible service. I am still waiting for service. Geek Squad unhooked my Universal control and sold me the cheaper harmony remote. It is not synchronized with all my speakers. I am still trying to get someone to come without selling me more equipments. Last one was trying to sell me equipment costing more than $2,000

See previous review. Installation Tech Rep could not program the Genesis remote control. A SECOND Tech Rep tried was not able to program correctly.
I called the store directly and was promised I would receive a phone call "within 2 hours" to schedule an exact date for another Tech Rep to attempt this once again. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS CALL.
I now feel I must go to the store directly to discuss this with a Store or Geeksquad Manager.
VERY BAD SERVICE
We appreciate your feedback. We expect our Agents to offer exceptional service and communication.

Had a Horendous Geek Squad Expereince

For what was to be a simple installation took 3 Geek Squad vehicles and a Supervisor. They were here for 5 hours. NOT HAPPY STILL
To their credit they were determined to fix a situation that they created. I was advised improperly when a Home Advisor came out, then sold a wrong solution then up charged while they were at the home to finish the job. I have spent lots of money over the years with Best Buy. May need to look for an alternative after this Geek Squad Fiasco,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, although, it sounds like it was far from what we would have wanted for any of our customers. While it's good to know the Geek Squad Agents were doing their best to get this resolved, we certainly wish things had gone much differently during your interactions both before and during the service. If you still require assistance, please connect with Geek Squad at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778.

Incompetent Installation Service

I had to completely uninstall my rear surround speakers and reinstall them properly, so they would work. The speakers wouldn’t work at all and appeared as if someone just didn’t care when installing them, or had absolutely no clue what they were doing. I tried contacting a manager but no one ever called me back! I would have legitimately spent more money at Best Buy to have ceiling speakers installed, but I lost all confidence in Best Buy’s competence at installations.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Our goal is to always provide quality service, and our Geek Squad home theater services include a 90-day workmanship warranty. For support with this, please call us at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778. An Agent will be happy to advise on options to assist.

My Harmony has been reset twice by the Geek Squad and it still doesn't get the correct input (HDMI 1) during startup. I constantly have to redo as it goes to miracast instead.

I had Geek Squad program the Logitech Universal Remote because I had multiple devices. I currently do not have volume control, despite 5 phone calls and 3 emails.
Hi, featherkuk. Thank you for having us out to set this remote up for you. I'm sorry to hear that the volume isn't working as it should. If you've been calling & emailing the Agent directly, he/she may be temporarily unavailable for some reason. I certainly regret if that's the case. We do offer a 30 day workmanship warranty on most services, so I would recommend calling 1-800-433-5778 to see about the possibility of scheduling a return visit.

Jessica M in the Joplin,MO store #1324 scheduled 2 appointments for me, I canceled the 2nd appointment because it was a duplicate of the 1st appointment. She is a poor listener and very hard to understand, in my opinion she has no business taking phone calls. I went to a locally owned electronics store a purchased a new TV.

Best Buy won’t program a non- Harmony remote on-site. Costs $400 to take into the store for a day to reprogram. That’s ridiculous, especially when I have TotalTech
We needed to hook up an emitter The Gerk installers didn’t have glue - they asked if I had any duct tape. They taped it on to the TV. It disconnected in 1 day. I got an outside service to do it right

We used Magnolia to purchase thousands of dollars worth of TV equipment. We were advised to buy two harmony universal remotes that were very expensive. Geek squad has come twice to program them.....once we were charged. The second time we were told they basically will not work with the new Cox controllers that we have. So we just threw money down the drain. And the wait on the phone to get through to anyone at BestBuy or the Geek Squad is interminable. Get your equipment somewhere else with better service.

Lousy job, the man was nice, but clearly does NOT like hooking up universal remotes, and because of this I cannot use it because I dont understand what I have done wrong and it does NOT work. I spent all that money on something I cannot use and I didnot call because I dont want the same person back out here. I wish I could return the item and get my money back from the geek squad. You did a lousy JOB.!!!!
