Will I finally have DirecTV?

[dredbyrd]

Tomorrow between 8 am and noon is try #4. I moved almost two weeks ago. I live in a three family (three story) house. Only line of sight is from the roof.

Try # 1 - Friday February 27, 2004. DTV techs came. No forty foot ladder. "Sorry dude."

Try # 2 - Thursday March 4, 2004. It was drizzling outside. "We're not authorized to drill into the roof when it's raining".

Try # 3 - Tuesday March 9, 2004. It was snowing, but not bad enough to stop the tech. Except the tech forgot the forty foot ladder. Tech phones in for forty footer. Forty footer arrives one hour later. "The ice is starting to get bad. It's not like it's just drizzling or something. It would be no problem if it were only drizzling."

Try # 4 - Saturday March 13, 2004. ??

Thanks Tailor.

I got the nose picking one from here: http://www.gwbush.com/multimedia.shtml

This is the site, you'll soon read if you click, about whom bush spake the infamous quote: "There Ought to be Limits to Freedom!"

I DL'ed the video and did a frame grab in Pinnacle Studio.

The Alfred E. Neuman one I would have liked to keep, but for bad netiquette. http://www.psytrance.de/alfbush.gif



This is still bad netiquette, but keeping it as my avatar would be worse netiquette.

Is it true that forty foot ladders cost $10,000 because of the trial lawyers?

[dredbyrd]

Well the wind won't be as bad as predicted.

Dude, I had direct tv for almost 2 years. I only had 1 problem with it. On overcast or rainey days the reception was for shit. Of course here in Arizona we don't have a lot of those days, but it was still bothersome. Good Luck!!

[dredbyrd]

Grrrrrr ............. :angry:

Just had a phone call .... "I just saw the note here, 'forty foot ladder', tell me you don't need a forty foot ladder ... "

ARRRRGH!!!!!

[dredbyrd]

It only took them five hours today, and in the end four trips bringing a total of seven techs to my house, but ....

I HAVE DI-RECT TEEVEE!

I HAVE DI-RECT TEEVEE!

I HAVE DI-RECT TEEVEE!

I HAVE DI-RECT TEEVEE!

Take that you "fall out of the sky" supporters! :angry:

Enjoy it. DirecTV has treated me better than any other cable company.
