DTV sucks

Anyone else with me? I get lots of extra channels that I never care to watch but the primary network stations that I want to watch come in shitty or don't come in at all.
Anyone have experience with improving signal? I know your converter box can be really important and I think we have a pretty decent one. What about antennae? Has anybody upgraded to the new fancy antennae? If so, was it worth it?

What does it take 3 weeks to do?
Satellite's in orbit already, isn't it?

You can't rev it up until the break in period is over
Snark aside, I'm not allowed to say.

DTV is the worst company I've dealt with, if I ran a business like that I would be out of business in 2 weeks.
They have NO appreciation of customer service.

NO DTV experiance but I did have DISH. It sucked. If the dish gets moved you pay for them to come adjust it. If it rains hard enough you have no TV. That's when you need TV! If you cancel you have to crawl up there to get the parts down and mail them back. Cable was better but I have FIOS now and it kicks all their asses.

Oh, I didn't mean Direct TV. I talking about the new (since June
) digital TV signal. I can't even get (LA area channels) 7, 11, 13 and those are major networks.
All the new series are starting and I can't even see the premiers w/o watching them online.

On one of the NBC HD channels (I have two each of CBS, NBC and FOX for some reason) always screws up and gets pixelated. The cable company says it's a problem with the broadcast, not with them. If you DVR a show on that channel it will periodically fast forward for no reason, freeze, skip entire scenes, etc.

I have had DirecTV for years. The transition to Digital was a non-issue for me.

My guess?
1) Achieve geosynchronous orbit.
2) Solar-charge batteries to acceptable voltage levels.
3) Establish communications with ground station.
4) Calibrate for parallax and atmospheric distortion.
5) Upload latest foil-hat bypass software.
6) Begin mind-control broadcasts.
