I just had a guy knock at my door, asking me if I had DirecTV and saying he was going to fix it so it wouldn't cut out all the time during storms. He said he first needed to check my receiver and tried to push past me into the house. I said, "hold on there, bud, can I see some ID?" He shows me an ID for Dish Network. I said, "This is a Dish ID, I have DirecTV." I wonder how many people he fools with that trick. He acted like he was doing me a favor and providing a DirecTV service or upgrade, when that wasn't the case at all.

He said, right, I'm going to fix your DirecTV problem. I told him I didn't want to switch to Dish, but he was real pushy, insistent, asking me about my high TV bill and disruption of service and how he was going to fix all that and I kept saying, no, I don't want your service. I finally, just closed the door on him while he was still yammering on about high bills and such and tootleoo-ed him with my fingers as I was shutting the door.

Is this what Dish is resorting to nowadays? Sending high pressure salesmen to your front door unsolicited? Honestly, I thought at first he was a Mormon on a mission, he looked so clean cut and all-American. I was ready to give him the boot as soon as I saw that, but it turned into something completely different.
