But anyways you know the story I with Direct tv.......Now get this:

Yesterday morn at 11:40 I get ready for the games and find out my NFL tix not working.I call a buddy of mine and his worked.
hmmmmm,so I call D-Tv and to let them know and they tell me they have tech.dificulties.i tell them my buddy`s works and he lives app.2 miles from me.So they put me on hold while they try to fix it.....A few minutes later they say they are still having trouble and tell me they will erectify the prob after a bit and I will recieve my program.
1 1/2 hrs later its still not on and now i`m shaking my head.I call D-Tv back and they say they`re still have tech problems.So they put me on hold again and come back a few minutes later to tell me if I don`t have it on in an hour to call back.......
Well 1 1/4 hrs later its still not on......Now I am fuckin livid.
i called them right back and they said that i should have it back on........well it came back on after bitchin about it.come to find out they didn`t turn it back on when they fixed the prob......So I asked them what the hell they were gonna do about it.
So they ened up giving me 5$ off my bill for the next 6 months.
Okayyyy i guess that`ll work.......

Now this is the part that reall really really ticks me off........

The NFL tix has two channels for each game.....1 hd and 1 regular channel.
Well its enough that I have to pay an extra 10 spot every month now for hd,but now the nfl hd channels were not coming in........So call no.4 yesterday was about the nfl tix in hd.
The customer rep tells me if I want the nfl games in hd.........I GOTTA PAY AN EXTRA 99$ A YEAR on top of the 275 I already pay and the extra 10 I pay for hd .

So I ask if they would drop the 5$ off for the next 6 months and just give the last two weeks of the NFLT in hd..........They said"NO.
But they wouldn`t charge me the whole 99$,but they`d give me the special rate now for 66$........Them monopolizing mother fuckers...

So to say the least yesterday was not a good day in the Wood house.

Barry,

It sounds like they were bending you over yesterday and giving it to you good!!!!!

I have Dish Network and I also have to pay the additional $10 fee for the HD. So no only am I paying for a regular digital channel, but I also have to pay for the same damn channel in HD. Doesn't make much fucking sense does it.
