I called the nice people at Directv (Online Chat) on Sunday to schedule an appointment to come out and tighten my dish(not a euphemism). After some language confusion issues or maybe they didn't know how calendars worked, they sent out a repairman on Sunday. Yes, Sunday. How much did they charge for a Sunday call? Nothing. Turns out we've been paying an exorbitant amount for insurance.
The nice man came out and I apologized for my repair attempts. He immediately was not happy with anything about the dish. First thing he did was throw out the mast that was twisting. Cool. Then he didn't like the wiring running from the dish to the house connection. Cool. Then he got mad at the focuser at the end of the arm pointing at the dish and tossed it out. Wow. Finally, he got fed up with the dish all together and chucked that. I liked this guy.
And he did this in the rain. He was very happy he had his rain gear was in the truck. The whole job took under an hour and now I have a brand new satellite set-up. I hear the wind howling outside my window right now, so I guess I'll know tonight how good a job he did.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
