Satellite pointing at trees

[docellis]

So chopping the trees down was a waste. Apparently the tech said that I'd have to put a pole in my yard and put my satellite on that if I wanted it to get reception. Not doing that.

So now it is either that other satellite company (what does Planet have?) or back to Charter. This sucks.

Anyone know what uverse is? karp?

I have alot of trees and I was able to find a spot. You must live in a freaking forest doc.

Why would another satellite company work? Wouldn't you have the same problem?

Maybe the tech was being lazy because he didn't want to climb on my roof and re-adjust, I don't know. But he said the other dish company would work. But he wouldn't say what the name of it was.

Techs say all sorts of things due to incompetence and/or laziness. You might want to see if you can find a discussion forum with people who know what they're talking about to see if what he said was true.

satellite positioned in a different part of the sky where she doesn't have any obstruction. They'd just install their dish on a different part of the house to point towards their satellite.

I don't really care, I don't like satellite anyway - I just hated Charter bad enough to switch. Uverse won't go out when it storms, so I figure why not try it.

I did call the support line and ask about what the tech told me - I figured if they really wanted my business they'd send someone else out to make sure that guy was telling the truth.

Mooch off your single neighbors. Better yet, find one no one loves, teach him how to slave his bank account to all the bills, and after three months, murder him. Put his body in a freezer somewhere and enjoy free TV!
I mean, you could just wait a few more days, but at this point I wouldn't take any more options off the table.

Why would they present that presentation internally? Or was it just a comcast employee making a joke? or?
