    Direct TV Hounding At Best Buy

    ADVERTS
    I went to Best Buy Tuesday to look at some TV's. All I had was a Direct TV consultant bugging me the entire time trying to sell me a package.

    I kept trying to tell them they do not have FoxSportsNet for the Reds games so I am not interested. They still kept hounding me and I just departed.

    You should have just told them you already have it. I do with anything from whom ever.

    BTW, they do have FSN Cincinnati.

    Surprisingly it is not us. But Bestbuy own Retailer pushing it.

    Just because they have DTV shirts does not make them DTV
    Stonecold's Statements are not endorsed by Directv
    And That's The Bottom Line, Cause Stonecold Said So!

    EDIT:
    They acted like they were on commission. I have Time Warner in the Columbus area and Have FoxSportsNet CINCY. If in fact it is true, they should have had the knowledge to tell me they carry FoxSportsNet out of Cincinnati. I thought I had to get the baseball package to get the games on Direct TV.
