Fuck Satellite TV. - GoFuckYourself.com

TurboAngel · 04-27-2006, 10:44 AM

I'm so mad at myself, I had cable and got talked into moving to Direct TV. Now I'm going on the 2nd week with no TV.

I had a guy come out on Sunday and tell me I had to have a tree trimmed so I did that and had TV for about 24 hours then boom it's out again. So I have been on the phone with them and some one will be out to look at it tomorrow afternoon.

The guy on the phone said "Well we can give you HBO and Showtime for free for 6 months for the inconvenience" Yea that's great and all but WTF 6 months of something free when the shit doesn't even work?

I can't wait till January 20th that's the day we can move back to cable, cuz if we do it now I'll get charged a $200 cancellation fee.

Warden · 04-27-2006, 11:30 AM

That sucks. However once it's up I would venture to say, you will love it. Directv has great customer service and will do whatever it takes to make you happy. Their weakness is that because they are national, they have to use independent contractors for installs and half the time those guys don't give a shit.

candyflip · 04-27-2006, 11:31 AM

I went back to cable years ago and LOVE it.

DaddyHalbucks · 04-27-2006, 11:32 AM

Man I miss good old DirecTV....then they had to go and change their technology so it was unhackable

Tabitha's Toybox · 04-27-2006, 11:37 AM

That sounds like more of a "fuck the trees" issue, and not "fuck satellite tv"

HDADULT · 04-27-2006, 11:46 AM

The cancellation fee is bullshit and wont stand up. Just ask directv about it.
Its a just a scare tactic. Especially if you used a reseller its specifies
in there contract that they can not charege a cancellation fee. If they charge your card just call visa or mc and they will remove it.

madawgz · 04-27-2006, 11:47 AM

what the fuck, 200$ cancellation fee?????

onlineriches · 04-27-2006, 11:59 AM

pirate dish network or expressvu =D

*My dish points through a tree also, and I get perfect reception

JuggernautXUG · 04-27-2006, 12:02 PM

$200 cancellation fee, fuck that man all they have to do is flip a switch!

Sosa · 04-27-2006, 12:58 PM

I love my DirecTV. Way better then the fucking cable company.

MontrealPimp · 04-27-2006, 01:01 PM

Time to get yourself a 170.00 viewsat xtreme satellite receiver that will receive all dishnetwork channels including pay per view and every single channel they carry, and if you hook up another dish, you can add bell expressview to the mix for about 1000 channels total on one receiver.

Did I mention there is no bill in the mail?

I have one in each room here, and a 30" motorized dish outside that picks up a few thousand channels from 6 satellites all over the world. When on doshnetwork or bell, it works and looks just like the legit systems you can buy and pay per month, but with these ones, there is no card inside and no channel is blocked. You have the full program guide and info and all that too.

Axeman · 04-27-2006, 01:02 PM

Dave was my best friend for many many good years. Died far to early in life.

JTAG or something else?

Tam · 04-27-2006, 01:57 PM

DirectTV just left here, we haven't had half of our channels for several days now either. Turned out the idiot resellers that installed it fucked it all up. They didn't put weather boots on the connectors and the damn things shorted out and corroded. So this guy had to replace everything......

DirectTV has been good to me, but those resellers suck balls.

no none of that, you just plug the serial cable into your pc and the other end into the back of the receiver, then open up the loading program on your computer and click on load.

It is as simple as that, no cards no jtag or any of that stuff.

These units have been around for a couple of years now. I used to import them 2000 units at a time and sell them to through sites, the whole craze died down though nowadays, it was still pretty fresh last year, thats when everyone was buying them.

With an autoroll bin, it never goes down...

If you have a manual input keys bin, you can always use a proggie called KEYRIPPER....

Yeah the resellers usually have to pay out of pocket for cable and connectors and they are suppose too use outside connectors, make drip loops and ground everything which they usually dont.

Scott McD · 04-27-2006, 03:40 PM

Yeah i've stuck with cable tv for ages. Been offered many deals to switch it, but fuck that shit...

No shit. We may know each other. I never dealt with FTA's but was into the other hardware end for a couple of years before the FTA craze.

DssRage mean anything to you?

Yes, actually I think your name starts with R you used to buy sureshot loaders and some other things from me when I was manfacturing. I remember you used to always order 200 units every time, if you are the same person I am thinking of.

You would always pay in u.s. cash, always 20's (stacks) heh.

Well, that is what is told to people so they will buy the units...

The real truth is, autoroll scripts have gone down and continue to go down. There is no "permanant" one time fix.

arial · 04-27-2006, 04:32 PM

I've never had a problem with my DirecTV (knocks on wood). I personally have a tripod so I can move it around in different places if I have problems but haven't had any since switching to satellite. Hope you get your stuff fixed.
