What pissed you off today?

Actually started a month ago. I changed satellite carriers thinking I was doing the right thing since it was $68 cheaper a month and offered the same channels I've always had.

Fast forward a week after installation lost signal about 4 times that week. Two days after installation it needs an update. This means it shuts down in the middle of whatever I'm watching. It does offer a now/later button but after a few laters it updates itself.

Why does a brand new receiver need updating? Not just that once. I'm talking every 2 or 3 days since then.

Also and it is random but almost daily and sometimes several times and does it every night. It will cut itself off sort of. It plays a dish network commercial a silent commercial. It will flash up on the TV are you still there? No movement in a while. I'm like WTF! Leave my damn tv alone. I will update it when I want to and cut the son of a bitch off when I want to.

So this is what is pissing me off today and every day the last 30 days. So now I'm stuck with it for 2 yrs.

Edited to say: I forgot to mention the fools let their contract with the local channels here expire.WTF
