CRUSHED! Need consoling... ;-[
 
Tired of cable TV.

Ordered NFL Package and Direct TV so I could get EVERY Saints game this year in the comfort of my living room. Massive flat-screen. Surround Sound.

Just got a call from the installers. I happen to live in a neighborhood that is a BLACK HOLE of satellite reception. NO - CAN - DO

Back to the bar this year... at 7:00 am in order to get a seat.

Major bummer.

Where is the :crying: icon?

Wow; that ain't cool! I thought satellite worked everywhere.

Time to move to Wasila? Or did you return the massive wide screen?

Speedy Ron 07-23-2011 08:47 AM

f'ing black hole?!?!?!?!?!?!!? Do they have att uverse up there? is satelite you only option? What about streaming the game on a laptop and connecting to the tv?

AlaskaSaints 07-23-2011 02:53 PM

Devastated. I live in a chalet with 100-foot spruce all around. I recognized it as too-good-to-be-true and it was.

If all the trees were mine, I'd cut them, but they're not.

I guess it's all good - as long as we're having football!

I've had that issue so may times moving to different apartments... I love DirecTV, but it's so hit or miss on whether or not you can actually get it to work.

Nope. And therefore, neither does OnStar on a Chevrolet work
everywhere. I know, 'cause my Mama onect locked her keys
in her Silverado at a rest stop in BFE Oklahoma, and I hadda
drive to get her cause I was closer than the nearest tow truck,
and the OnStar satellite didn't work to unlock her doors
for her in BFE.

Sorry you won't get to see the games after ALL THAT WORK, AK.
I know that pain. It's an awful, desperate feeling. At least they
can get 'em at the bar, I reckon.

This happened to me once, but it was because there were too many trees in the way. It was either spend thousands cutting down trees on a property I rented or go cable. Anyway, you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to get NFL network anyway after what they have put us through. I cancelled mine about 2 months into the lockout.

Same here. Last year I was in Puerta Vallarta for the Rams game. I could only listen to it.

st thomas 07-24-2011 11:54 PM

i grew up listening to lsu games with my old man because they were rarely on the tube back when. so a saints game every blue moon on radio ain't all bad.

i know what ur saying strat, used to catch wwl on top of big hills in the west texas brush country before sirius came along

SmashMouth 07-25-2011 06:59 AM

Can the games not be caught on BFE justin tv anymore?

Saint_LB 07-25-2011 07:09 AM

All this stuff got me to thinkin'...

I have to believe that if it is not already out there somewhere...it will be shortly. My brother told me he was getting a TV with wifi...so, I'm thinkin'...why couldn't somebody save it like you do with tivo, and then email it...from your TV? You could keep somebody updated that way.

OldMaid 07-25-2011 07:12 AM

I am so sorry Alaska fan.



saintsfan1976, very funny picture there,LOL!

Not me... I get all the games because I live in Metairie. ;)

skymike 07-25-2011 05:08 PM

freakin trees. I hate trees.

seriously, I knew Alaska had that whole sun going sideways thing going on, but satellite doesnt work there? I thought if you were under the sky, satellite works.

This is a good thing, my friend. You get to know all the other serious fans (sounds like displaced fans) in that sports bar.

I cant imagine just sitting at home, when I can hang out with the WhoDats at Ragin Cajun here in H-town.

When I get my jillion, billion dollars, buy the falclowns, ruin them utterly, then move them to Gnome, then you will be able to come watch the Saints play once every year!

Winner of the 'what you would do with a jillion billion dollars' thread. :bng:

skymike 07-25-2011 05:47 PM

Stay tuned for or 3 O clock lineup on Fox, where most of you will see
New Orleans at Gnome, followed by 60 Minutes, except on the West Coast, where you will see your local news.

-- mmm... think im mixing my metophorical promos. so many years of Pat Summerall.

Memnoch_TP 07-27-2011 04:35 AM

You can always sleep late and then DL the games online and then watch them.

Look at the bright side ... your home is also out of reach from government surveillance :)

9thWardDesire 07-27-2011 04:29 PM

NOT COOL!!!

That's like me not getting a radio station just because I moved across the street. I'm already questioning cell phone services.
