They are both right.
ETA: Reading the comments is as bad as reading comments about gun control. Everyone on there is pretty much retarded. Sorry HighClass.
It sucks, but if all 360 homes had DirecTV, that's $144,000 someone has to pay, and $400 is on the cheap end for Sat equipment. Should be covered under homeowners insurance.
Yeah I can't read comments for anything anymore.Quote:

What if there was a rental car parked in the garage when the house went up? Think the rental car company would say, "Don't worry, we know you're going through a hardship right now. We'll write it off for you."?
Logic fails me here...comparing a car to a small electronic box? Comparing a homeowner who has lost everything to a big multibillion dollar corporation? yeah tell the people in Black Forest to go eff themselves? nice...
What is more goodwill than honoring the contract that you signed?Quote:

To be clear, I would have no problem with DirectTV cutting this guy a break. My issue is with the tone of the article, and the tone of all the people complaining in the comments section. The fact is that DirectTV is not the responsible party in the deal, and people expect them to take a loss on the deal.
The good news is you can buy a Directv shitbox on craigslist for 20 bucks. But you are right, money is way more important than fire victims...Quote:
