We moved into our first home last valentines day and never have been able to afford satelite w/ the HD reciever (no point in getting a regular cheapo reciever if I have a 1080p tv right?) .. we had to chose between internet and satelite, and we picked the obvious.
Well this year the mother in law told us that she was doing something 'different' for presents and decided to do couples gifts, right away I thought of satelite and joked about it with my wife... a few days later we are opening the gifts and BAM! HD reciever and a letter saying we got pre paid HD TV for half a year and they will be installing it on tuesday.
Best.Non.Asked.For.Present.EVER!
