    No hotspots around me. I've got 18 gbs with Verizon so if I need to I can use some of that I'll just have to monitor that so I don't go over. I also have a 4k tv and I heard dish was suppose to have some 4k content. I'm guessing it hasn't come out yet. So if I can use dish anywhere in my...

    HSP Pay (per install vs. per hour)

    That is a big drop in money. I really don't see anyone making $50,000 on an hourly wage of $10-$12 unless you work alot of overtime.

    HSP Pay (per install vs. per hour)

    I went the reverse route. We went form per hour to per job. Most of the techs quit on the spot. We drive so much no one thought it would be worth it. For the techs that stayed on most of them seem to be making more or atleast the same as before. Only problems are if we drive 100 miles to do...

    Another new install phone requirement ???

    don't the receivers update their software via the satellites? They do now but not for long. HD will take all of that transponder space away and phone lines are going to be the only way to get the upgrades to the customer. Thats one of the reasons why Dtv is so big on phone lines. I have...

    3x4 multiswitch with oval dish

    like iceberg said. No. You can't use a 3x4 ms cause the lnbs on the oval already have one built in. You need to get a 4x8 (needs power) or a 6x8.
