Dish Network has bad timing.

Begin Transmission.

So last night I was watching Eat Pray Love.
It was really good. 
Julia Roberts has never been my favorite, but she did really good in this movie.
If you haven't seen it yet, skip this, cause I'm bout to spoil it.
It's about a woman, Liz, who visits Bali and meets a medicine man. She asks him about her love life, and he tells her that she'll have two marriages, a short one and a long one, along with some other stuff. She goes back to New York, and a while later, she ends up divorcing her husband. The divorce was really rough, but she meets David, an actor, and is happy for a while. But she realizes she's unhappy, and decides to go on a trip to Italy, India, and Bali. 
So she goes, stays in Italy for a while and makes a few friends. She ate and was happy doing it. She then went to India to meet David's Guru (she isn't there, she's in New York ). She stays in the sanctuary and meets an old gentleman who calls her Groceries since she eats so much. He advises her to focus her devotions on something other than the Guru, and so she focuses it on a young girl who is troubled by her upcoming arranged marriage. 
After leaving India, she goes to Bali to help the medicine man. While riding a bike down a trail, a man in a jeep nearly runs her over. She has to go to a healer for a hurt leg. A woman interrupts them, and invites Liz to a party. At the party, she meets the man who nearly ran her over, Felipe. After getting a bit drunk and a young man trying to get her to skinny dip with him, she starts to leave. She realizes she left her shoes and as she turns, she bumps into Felipe, who is holding her shoes. He takes her home, saying that if he's driving her, he can't run her over. So he takes her home, and comes back the next morning with a hangover 'cure'. He gives her his card, saying that if she needs a tour guide to give him a call. She asks if coffee comes with the tour, and they're off! After a while, they're happy together, and after Felipe's son comes to visit on his spring break, Felipe decides to take their relationship further. He puts on a mix tape, and starts to dance with Liz. They go to the bedroom. The next few weeks, Liz and Felipe spend nearly every moment together, but she has to go back to her meditations. And the last thing I saw was Liz writing an email to all of her friends, new and old, to help the healer, Wayan, afford a home for her and her daughter.

This thing popped up.
Kill me now.

I swear, this thing is worse than internet pop-ups saying
Dear Lord, I just put that picture up and it's already getting on my nerves!

And so I wait.
10 minutes later, it hit 2 out of 5.
25 minutes later, it hit 5 out of 5, then a blank screen.
10 minutes after that, I gave up and went to bed, too angry to wait any longer.
Nothing I had tried fixed it.
And to make matters worse, this morning I was watching Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. It got to where Aragorn and the hobbits were running from a few of the Nazgul, and Frodo had been stabbed. Having seen this movie multiple times, I knew that Arwen was about to come to the rescue (yay!). I see the knife at Aragorn's neck....
And it popped up again!
The accursed error message, saying the signal has been lost.
Finally, when it goes away, the movie comes back on. The fellowship has been gathered, and are hiking through the snowy mountains, about to go to the mines.
EVIL.
 End Transmission.
