That works.. sometimes.
I tried calling comcast and they don't serve my address (it's a large apartment building). I specifically told them that I could care less if they actually installed it; I just wanted an account so I could get the olympics online. They claimed they couldn't do that though; the service had to be installable or they could get fined by some entity.
My only legal option is to pay DirectTV something like $800 for a one year subscription. Not happening..
Can't even get the terrestrial DTV signal due to buildings in my line of sight.
- jlgreco 14y agoHow old is your apartment building that you cannot get cable service? I've never run into that before.
- usaar333 14y ago23 years. Its age is less of an issue than its size. It has 400+ units and just contracts out TV service to a local San Francisco outfit, Satel: http://www.yelp.com/biz/satel-san-francisco http://www.yelp.com/biz/satel-san-francisco Satel has a sattelite receiver on the roof that provides for the complex. The only programming options are: 1. DirectTV (extremely expensive) 2. 'Basic' Cable, which gives only a subset of terrestrial broadcasts at only 480p. This service wouldn't qualify for nbcolympics regardless due to no cnbc, msnbc, etc.
