CRUSHED! Need consoling... ;-[

AlaskaSaints · 07-22-2011, 08:10 PM

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

icon?

Alaska

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.

You don't need to go through all that trouble....

Besides, there is always something on YouTube worth watching.
