I'm really angry and no one here can understand why so I'm asking my
friends at DU to agree with me. :D


Seriously though, I had to put on a new roof. My old roof was so damaged that every single panel had to be replaced.

Anyway that started Wednesday morning. At about 2pm they knocked my dish satellite off and I STILL do not have any TV., (it's Friday morning) That's almost 2 days now and I am pissed. I am waiting for the Direct TV guy to get here since the roof people could not fix the problem and I had to wait from Wednesday to Friday to get someone out here.

I admit I can be a real TV junkie and American Idol is one of my favorite shows and I missed both shows this week and Criminal minds....etc. I could not even tape them since I had no signal.

And they act like it is no big deal. I want to hit someone.

1. It is a big deal.
I hope the roofers plan on paying the direct tv people for the repairs.

2. Have you tried disconnecting your converter and just using
your local signal? I know it's not the best, but at least it's something and you might be able to get the local stations.

I'd be pissed too, though. I don't watch a lot of teevee, but when I want to, I want to. Comcast did some work in my neighborhood a week ago...and I lost my cable from Thursday through Sunday. It came back early Monday morning...but then was intermittent for the next day or two.

Comcast ain't starting out so good...

:eyes:

4. That would be my temporary solution
Get a cheap set of rabbit ears at Radio Shack or K-mart or something and go to it.

5. How mad should I be?
I feel your pain, I hope they get there soon.

I purchased a new hdtv dish with Tivo in January. I did it all online and scheduled an appointment for installation. The install date was confirmed in an e-mail I got as my receipt. The day before the install I checked online to confirm the time and it said my installation was "unscheduled". I called and they said I hadn't scheduled a date. I asked them why I would pay 300 dollars for equipment and not set up an installation. I had to get at the end of the line and wait another month. It really pisses me off.

7. Wow that one beats me. Waiting a month is absurd! Sorry you had to go through that.

You have every right to be pissed!
