    help with trying to find satellite postions

    I HIGHLY suggest you get "Dish Pointer Pro" if you have an Android Phone, (Not sure if they have an app for iPhone but would assume they do) its not 100% accurate for me atleast, but I would say for ME, its 95% accurate.. After you get a lot of installs under your belt you will just be able to...

    new directv customer question

    as Mark stated, its best to call and ask.. But if it is $25.00 EVEN (no change, etc) then it is just a "Hold" (It will come off hold in 2-3 business days) to make sure card is good and valid, why $25? I dont know, thats how Directv does it.. If its $24.xx or $25.xx (change) Directv usually...

    What is the best promo?

    If you go through an online or local retailer they can still do the "Refer a Friend", If they say they cant then they are ONLY concerned about the money and not helping you out and gaining a customer I would then move on. The AAA Discount as far as I know can only be done through D* Corporate. I...

    Directv employee stealing from home in MD

    Maybe this is waaaaaaay off the subject, but I am almost willing to bet anything this guy had a clean record, MOST the time, people who would technically fail a BG Check is because of something happened long time ago, EVERYONE has done something stupid in their life, but some just got caught...

    What are the requirements to become an installer?

    honestly it all depends on who you work for, in this line of business you are seriously rolling the dice if your with a good company or bad. In my experience in over 12 years there is a LOT more bad than good companies out there.. Things were great back in 98-06 (my opinion) but things have...

    Charlie getting new subs thanks to retrans problems for D*

    This will ALWAYS happen between the 2 companies, as we all know, a lot of dish customers switched to D* when Dish lost fox, now tables are turned people are going to dish.. Oh well, saturated markets put me out of business, competition is ALWAYS good for EVERYONE..

    Getting satellite/DirecTV for the first time, question about install

    Here in Kansas City, we charge $75 but I hear other areas from $50.. Safe assumption would be $50-$75 anything above $75 I would begin to question why..

    comcast pricing...what the

    Sounds about right.. Companies advertise their cheapest price all the time.. Ex. Directv advertises $29.99 a month for 12 months, well if you want DVR, HD etc then thats extra.. In D* with what you want, it sounds like you could get them for $44.99 (for 12 months) I am sure if you didn't want on...

    Qualified to install DirecTV

    Ok, now that explains your questions :) I totally understand your concern now, I have multiple salesmen that work for my company, very few know the installation part but they are all VERY knowledgeable on how everything works, what equipment we have, etc etc etc.. Yea that'd make me wonder.. My...

    Qualified to install DirecTV

    So true, I see so many "contractors" who are certified but when you roll up on their job, you surely cant tell by their workmanship.. I am a dealer and we do get calls to handle service calls from a customer simply because they dont want to wait 2 weeks for D* to roll a truck, so they look us up...

    Qualified to install DirecTV

    Well Directv does put a lot of the contractors through training and such, etc etc... But in my opinion thats just standard crap.. To me certifications dont mean anything, I have been installing Directv as a retailer for 7 years but I have no pretty piece of paper saying I am good at what I do...

    No BS. DirecTV service wanted w/HD.

    Any customer with owned equipment can start service BUT they do NOT get the promotional offers.. so instead of paying $34.99 a month for choice extra, they are paying $63.99 a month from the get go.. BUT with NO CONTRACT and there will be a $50.00 activation fee..

    No BS. DirecTV service wanted w/HD.

    HR21Pro is $449.00, might be able to find em online for a tad cheaper, but my opinion $450 for ONE receiver and $75 for dish.. AND you wont get the $29.00 off a month of your bill for 12 months, to me wont be worth it just to avoid the contract.. so just having ONE receiver on your non-contract...

    my D* installaiton

    No, basically, if we made a sell and lets say commission was $275.00 when we get paid on the account our pay will be $200.00 its nothing "out of pocket" but its subtracted from our pay.. Its not bad really, but when your doing it EVERYTIME it adds up, I use it when it helps me make the sell, I...

    my D* installaiton

    Its sad that the retailer lied to you like that.. I am a Directv dealer and it costs me and EVERY other dealer out there $75.00 to do the refer a friend.. Which I myself do sometimes, but its sad that the retailer said they would but didnt.. it is true though, cant process it afterwards, and...
