Direct TV Hounding At Best Buy

[ds1234]

I used to buy my lot of stuff from BB before but Now I buy from AMAZON.com. Lot cheaper then BB plus No tax and free delivery. My samsung TV was $600 cheaper on amazon then BB.

I bought my wall bracket at Costco for about $70. I think it took me about an hour to hang it after I selected the exact location. I could probably do it now in about a half hour or slight more. If you are doing the job, don't even think about buying 6' HDMI cabling unless all your input devices are right under the wall mount.

If you'll pardon the expression, "Extra length matters!". Twelve footers are my minimum length as those "bends" eat up cable. While it's not a pure way to go, I don't see any difference tying two HDMI 6 footers together with a female joiner in between. You can get these little suckers on line for about $3 for two or you can go to Radio Shack and pay $12 for one.

If you buy a TV from BB and they deliver it you won't get it same day anyways.
When they deleiver they unpack, set-up, connect everything up and haul away the old TV for free.

I pretty much buy all DVDs, CDs, video games, software, etc.. from amazon.com now. It can be hit or miss on DVDs and CDs at BB unless it's a recent release.

You would let BB's guys set up your TV ?

Everything I buy from them I pick up myself at purchase, bring it home myself, and set it up myself.

Same here.

Thats only if I buy anything worthwhile from them.
I end up doing a lot of looking and very little buying.

Hardly ever buy anything of large value there.

I usually get them to deal. Sometimes they wont even if I show them a lower price somewhere else, because it is not "advertised" lower. I bought my TV from Fry's because they would not deal, and Fry's did. I bought my Magellan from Costco because BB would not match the lower price of Costco. I bought my PS3 from BB because it was the same exact price everywhere and BB gave me a PS3 remote for free because they sent me to another store that had it in stock.

It was part of the free delivery, hook-up, and haul away the old TV deal.
It's not that hard to hook up a DIRECTV box, a DVD player and a video game to a TV. It's not like they're gonna connect the output of the DVR to the output of the video game.

I didn't want to sound like some crabby old man yelling - Don't touch anything ! I can do it !! You'll probably just screw it all up !!
