Satellite Troubles
So, I hit the message boards and forums to get some advice. One dude said to check the wire that comes from the satellite to the switch for damage due to varmints chewing on the wire. I did that, and sure enough some kind of varmint had chewed a chunk out of one of the wires.
I could get all technical on yo ass but I will spare you the pain of that part of the story.
On Sunday I picked up some new wire and other supplies and spend all effing day replacing the wire that went from the satellite to the switch. But it STILL DIDN’T WORK!!! AAAAAGGGGGG!!!!!!! (insert your favorite curse words and phrases here).
The dude arrived about 9 Monday morning to fix the system. He checked the pointing of the dish “Perfect” he says he is getting 100% signal from the dish to his contraption. That news almost gave me a stiffy. Then he checked the wires that go from the dish to the switch. He gets under the house comes back up a few minuets later and says “No signal, it’s the wire”.
“Fuck, I just put those wires up yesterday” I reply.
We talk about where I got the wire, what kind of wire it is blar blar blar and how I put it in and all that and he says that it should have worked. Well it didn’t work did it, you fuck stick, now what? I think to myself.
At this point I am getting frustrated. I had to take PTO for this ass-clown to come out here and fix this. He had already been at the house for an hour and a half.
He is out of ideas. He calls his boss. His boss tells him he should have never gone under the house to begin with because it was “unsafe” BULLSHIT it’s not unsafe I spend all weekend going back an forth from under there over the weekend. Maybe if this dude wasn’t a fat ass he wouldn’t have gotten stuck under the house. (Did I mention that he got stuck the first time he was under there?) He tells me he can’t go back under the house where he has to “low crawl” on his belly. Whateva!! ASS!
[Explanation: He says he can get under the house where he can crawl on his hands and knees but can’t go to the location where the switch is located. So he can get under the house but not to the part under the house where the switch is located because he would have to crawl on his belly to get too it.]
The crawlspace is not that tight, I got under there when I was 250 pounds and had a 40” waist AND I was WAY bigger then than this buttface was now.
I tell him get under the house wherever he is comfortable getting and relocate the switch by pulling the wires that go FROM the switch TO the receiver that feeds the big T.V. by grabbing the wires and pulling the switch to a location that will be more accessible for him to work.
So he does that and reconnects everything comes inside and runs though the set up and how I have picture.
But the t.v in the guest bedroom had to be disconnected in order for the switch to be pulled to the front of the crawl space (which is also the front of the house). So that T.V. is not connected, which is O.K. No one watches that t.v. any way. So if I want to get the television in the guest room working I have to connect it my self be cause this asshole is to fat to fit though the crawl space. I haven't decided if I will reconnect it or not.
If I have one more problem with this fuckin’ system then I am OUT! I will go back to watching shitty cable.
Shit!!
FUCK!!
Now that that story is over.
Saturday Morning I watched a documentary about the Marines Corps called Marines. That I have had on the Tivo since February. If you have not seen it, check it out! It’s awesome! But I might be a little biased.
On Saturday Night I watched Rocky Balboa, defiantly worth the 3 buck for the rental. On Sunday night I watched The Departed which I had seen before but was better the second time.a
How was your weekend?
