One Limitation of a Direct TV Dish

When working as a Direct TV customer service rep it seems like we get them all sometimes, and not just the lost ones, but the perverts too. There are some people who just don’t know when to quit talking and my caller, who I will call Pervert Pete for the sake of this article, was no exception when he called in.

“Hi, this is Gail from Direct TV. How may I help you with your satellite service?”

“Hi, it’s Pete. I would like to know how to get some action on my satellite dish.”

“Some action? Do you mean TV action movies, action stations—

No, I mean ‘action’.” I could almost see him nudging and winking at me.

“I see, sir. We have some specialty stations that Direct TV offers…”

He cut me off and to top that off, it was what he said when he did cut me off.

“Well, I want to watch my neighbors.”

Being trained by Direct TV for Pervert Pete types, I was ready for his request.

“Well sir, there are some great programs that feature the whole ‘couple next door’ storyline that I’m sure you would be satisfied with.”

“No, I mean, I want to watch my neighbors for real. I just want to know what the best position for my dish is to peek in on them…you know, so I can see.”

My eyeballs were bulging out of my sockets. This was a Pervert Pete to beat all the odds.

“Satellite TV dishes aren't capable of that sir, and it’s against the law to peek in on your neighbors for some ‘action’ as you put it.” I started to get a little irritated.

“Drats. Alright then…never mind.”

Hoping he’s not my neighbor.
