DirecTV > you

[Seabiscuit36]

So for any Direct TV folks, The Wire is going to be On Demand via The101 starting in July, they'll play the episodes every thursday it sounds like, and it'll be available on demand each friday for a while.  FF this means you

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I finally caught on to the Dexter phenomenon, and now you're trying to push The Wire on me also?  Clearly, my time is too valuable to watch all this TV.

My dvr doesn't support on demand, what do I need to do and can I do it without spending 50-100 bucks?

Is this like the other one, where the American version had a different, zesty, narrator and the European version had a good narrator?

yea

both times discovery went with some light toned corny ass voice (sigourney weaver for planet earth, oprah for this) as opposed to something that makes sense like the euros did.

If you google life discovery channel, the description says this series is epic.

I finally got my service hooked up today and its fantastic. Its too goddamn bad that it took three missed appointments because of them being out of the new receivers. And they lied to me about a credit too

1st appt June 22 - Took the afternoon off. They were supposed to be here from 12-4. By 5 I hadn't heard anything. When I called customer service they said it was because they ran out of equipment in Houston. The local 3rd party installation company lied and said they had called me. They rescheduled me for July 3rd. I called in the next day and spoke to a supervisor who said he would comp my first month. Cool.

2nd appt - July 3rd comes and again there is no farging equipment in Houston. I called in again and was pissed. They gave me a $10 monthly credit for 12 months. Rescheduled for July 10th.

3rd appt - Yesterday they called at noon and said that they were waiting on the truck of receivers to come in and the tech would be here at 4. 5pm rolls around and I get a phone call that says they are running late, that they will be here between 6 and 8. A short while later they called again and said they would not come because the tech wasn't even in town. WTF? Pissed again, I call in and the chick gives me a $50 credit. She confirms the other two credits too.

They said they would be out on July 19th. I pitched a fit because I am not taking more time off to sit here nor am I going to be here the next three weekends. A supervisor from the installation company said he would "do me a favor" and squeeze me in today. Well its hooked up and its awesome.

I logged onto my account online and see that $96 is due to be taken from me tomorrow. I called in and spent 40 minutes on the phone trying to redeem this, now mythical, comped first month. They tell me its nowhere in the notes. The farging supervisor gives me another $50 credit and tells me thats all he can so.

This has been a goddamn mess.
