Yeah its 35 -15 for new hires,i've been there about 4-5 yrs,so I'm grandfathered in at that rate.

OK,heres the math, I get paid 65 a 1 box install and 20 each additional outlet.Most of the installs i get are 3 or 4 boxes that pay 105 and 125 each job.Sometimes I'll do 4 installs in a day.I am an employee with a personal owned vehicle.

Just wondering if anyone works for Halsted here.i'm in the buffalo office.We are the busiest weve ever been.the money is nice,but workin 6 days a week sucks after a while.

i work for an HSP and get paid by the job,i usually work 8 hrs more or less a day and make 200-400 per day.thats more than 10 an hour.Newer techs that work slow,try to do it faster resulting in poor installations.With our company getting all directv vans and tools supplied,it seems like anybody...

oh sorry I didnt specify,Theres parts for 2 dishes in each box!And the box is about the size of the international dish box.What irks me is why didnt they put the other parts in with the rest and have 1 dish per box?Cheaper shipping I bet.

I've been installing them here for 3 days.Easier in my opinion,but it comes in so many parts,2 dish pans,arms,and masts in the box,the lnb and back assembly with elevation and dither adjustments both come seperate.Once they are together though,pointing goes real fast.Looks a little better too I...

The search feature was so much better with the HDTIVO,or I should say easier.It almost reminds me of my old ULTIMAT TV unit.Too many buttons to press!!!Theres got to be a shortcut?Whers all the hacks like the tivos have?All the nerds must have TIVOS still.i must admit I do miss the bloop bloop...

It was an ANDREW THE ABSOLUT WORST DISH I EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH FROM D*!!!!!(well beside the WORLD DIRECT assembly.)

NA, that would be the right thing to try but I usually start by putting thr dish up first with no lines coming from the house yet.I'm so lazy to break out of my routine ,that it costs me time in certain cases like this.Man,that battery pack sucks!!!!!My old analog channel master and my dual...

I know what your saying,ive run into that problem before,on the acutrac and on a dual buddy meter,but I've changed line going to lnb couple times,and the other meter work fine on the same lines and lnb,I figured it was the meter but why would it work fine for the multisat?(3lnb)?

I wish it was that stupid,first thing I thought of,but no.

Ive been using my acutrac pro22 flawlessly to dial in the ka/ku dishes.until today.Everytime i connect the lnb to it it goes "OVER CURRENT".Tried other lnbs,it only works fine on a 3 lnb!Borrowed someone elses and had no problem,so its not the lnbs.Any ideas?

How do I fix this? timers arent firing because of no guide data!!

I also have r10 and r15 for sale 60 each plus 10 shipping with cards.

One r15 .60 plus 10 shipping

Myself being a Halsted employee have never ever heard of anything so stupid!!! The guy just didnt want to run a separate line.We have coax with a messenger ground wire attached that runs from pole to ground block,then green #10 ground wire to grround source from there.He was just being lazy...

No, really its a wealth of info good or bad on what I do for a living and enjoy in my time off. ITS THE BEST, F THE REST!!!!

I like this site cuz no one ever complains about anything!!!:D :D

Yeah,BASES,any ird will work with the 5 lnb dish,they just wont be able to see the 99 or 101 sats.We dont install the 5 lnb with hd tivos just with every H20.Dont let a csr that sits at a computer all day tell ya you need another dish on yer house!

I work about 30 hrs per week on average,ive been doing it for 6yrs now so I'm pretty fast.Can do up to 4 installs between 2 and 4 boxes apeice a day.The newer guys with company vehicles are struggling to get buy.

Yep 50K for me too.Thats alot of money for someone with no college or trade.Just SBCA training and a couple of years as a satellite hobbyist.At least in this part of the country!Plus tips!!!!

I'll take it!!

With the phone line they can tell were your box is.Say,I live in buffalo,ny and cant get good ota reception, I can borrow someones receivers from NYC and get all locals in HD.Or I can get blacked out sports events in my area Like from say NFL sunday ticket.They know alot of peeps are doing...

You can only record one ota station at a time?Was thinkin about maybee switchin but that really changed my mind.Most of my season passes on the hdtivo are on the locals.

like I said,its not the lines from the dish ,its something between the receiver and the tv!Try different connection methods,theres 3 different video connections s-video,composite,and coax.Try all three see if theres any difference.Also is this happening on all channels or just locals,cuz some...
