DirectTV is paying for this!

I just got off the phone with DirectTV, and they will be crediting me $5 a month for the next 6 months.

It may not be much, but if enough people hit them in their pocketbooks, maybe they will get off their ass and plan ahead for these types of situations. It's ridiculous that no one had the foresight to predict this would happen.

I told them that I was sold a service that was supposed to provide me with all NFL games that were not broadcast locally. Regardless of the circumstances, I was not receiving this service. Had I known that meant I might get tape delayed games instead of live, I never would have bought the service, and they misrepresented what I was purchasing.

I doubt everyone will be able to pull it off. It took a combination of patience, persistence, and probably getting the right idiot on the phone. All the same, give it a shot, it may save you $30.
