Yesterday I had a job to go and do in Dallas. Sherri was home waiting for the Direct TV guy to show up and fix our signal. We were only getting one half of the 150 programs we purchased due to the system not picking up but one of the satellites.
I worked until 3:00 and called Sherri and she said the guy had not shown up. I called him and he said that his supervisor was suppose to call me. OK here we go...I told him the guy had not called and I want this fixed. I am not paying for half of the package I bought so I want the full meal deal!
When I got home I called him back and he told me to try my Direct TV now. Well low and behold it was working. He gave me some humbo jumbo about my A B switch in the coach but I knew they had not turned on my service correctly at the main facility. I did not just fall off the turnip truck. The A/B switch selects the roof top dish...A...and the outside tripod...B.
It always amazes me how these people think everyone is stupid. Now if it had been something about my coach wiring then it would not be working now. Somehow they fixed the problem in my coach and did not even come by to do it? Now that is what I call high tech stuff.
No mater what we have our Direct TV now and are happy. We did not get the DVR and the 3000 channel deal. We figured it wont be that long and we will be out on the road all the time and all those bells and whistles wont be needed. If we decide to watch two channels on two different TVs then I will pull the box out of the office and take it with us. I can run another coax off a spliter and hook up the other box in the bedroom.
Today is Saturday and it is getting cold outside. They said last night that the temps would be dropping down into the 20s. I don't know if it did but I wrapped my hoses last night just in case. I turned the water off to the laundry room too and turned the heater on out there.
Thanks to all the folks that commented on my TV problem. Thank you Mark for the phone call. It was good to hear from you and Dortha.
That is about all for this moment...

I dunno! We have had the dvr for 15 months and we both think it is the best thing since sliced bread.
Love our dvr, but we have Dish,
one receiver, but can watch two tv's, different channels, plus record off both at the same time. Recording movies, so we can watch sometime commercial free is worth it.
Well, the only explanation is he is gifted in telekinesis and used his mind power .... or he teleported himself into your rig to flip that A/B switch!
Either way, you know of course it HAD to be all your fault, right?
Beam Me Up, Scotty!
