Okay, we live in the middle of nowhere, so we don’t get cable. I’m kind of sad about that, but it’s been long enough that I’m okay with it, especially since we have great satellite service. We started out with Dish Network and they were okay, until they started changing everything and screwing their customers.
Back in 2003, we changed to DirectTV and haven’t had a single complaint. Last year, we switched our television in the living room out, due to the digital transition garbage. When we did, we decided to upgrade our satellite, DirecTV service to HD service. The installer came and took care of everything and it didn’t cost us a thing.
We’ve had no problems with anything, until last week. The other day, we switched channels and all of the sudden, the satellite quit receiving signal. What?? I try all the tips and tricks that are recommended, no go. So, I call Direct TV and they put me through a receiver test, just to make sure that’s not the problem. It’s not. So, they set me up for an installer to come fix it.
Now, we don’t have their protection plan, but since we’ve been loyal since ‘03, they work it so that we can add the plan and have it cover the visit. Seriously, DirecTV is freaking awesome and made of win. The installer came Friday and fixed the problem. He had to rewire our coaxial cable from the outside in. It wasn’t grounded, it was buried in the ground, it was NOT right. It hasn’t been right since it was put in 15 years ago, when we first had service up here from Primestar.
DirecTV is made of complete WIN.
