Well DirecTV is working on getting back on my good side, after my recent incidents with failed hardware. When I learned their new HDTV programming requires a new dish, I thought it would be a pain to work that out, but they actually proactively called to make an appointment for this afternoon to upgrade me for free. Pretty neat, and not really a pain at all.
