Direct TV

Nov 08, 2006 11:12

I stayed home this morning, for an 8-12 appointment with the Direct TV guy. I finally have given into my hatred for all things Time Warner, and am switching from their lame, NFL Network-less services. Direct TV guy get to my apartment at 9, and immediately gives me some bad news. He's not sure if he can get a dish off my balcony pointing SW. See, my balcony faces more or less directly east. He takes a tour around the building, and is able to find one dish on my side, which gives him hope. Direct TV guy straps a dish to a box around his neck, and wiggles the dish around off my balcony. Apparently to no end. He then explains that he wants to plant a dish in a nature area below my balcony, and run wires up the side of the building to my apartment. At this point, I decide its best for me to call my apartment manager, and verify that I'm allowed to do this. She kiboshes the idea.

So, a wasted morning, and no Direct TV for me in this apartment. I will have to call TWC and let them know they will continue to get my business, through no effort of their own.
