    Quick Install

    yeap, you are right, but lower wages bring lower skills of work. The top techs are getting out of this business and finding different kinds of work. "No real question here, other than, how stupid does an installer have to be to disconnect a existing cable in an apartment building to make it...

    How do you make a roof mount leakproof?

    Tar patch, Bishop tape, and pitch patch are the same, just different company call it differently. It is mandatory for DirecTV and Dish network’s techs to use bishop tape. Bishop tape works very well in creating a sealed on the roof and sticks to the asphalt shingles very will and holds up...

    Adam Lambert closes AMA's in a weird way

    He is a great singer but the french kissing that guitar dude and getting a simulated blowjob from his backup dancer is too much, especially for public tv and coming from a family oriented brand like American Idol. I glad he didn't win on American Idol. Decency in public tv is going down the drain.

    dish500

    yeap, it is circular. I though it was linear too, since it uses a larger reflector. Since it uses the lower frequency it needs the larger reflector.

    dish500

    negative, 118 (1F port) and 119(2D port) are on seperate ports, and 110 is on the right bracket (if face toward lnb) and the 129 is on the left bracket. Since you also asking about NFusion FTA boxes on the other thread, I think you are referring to non-OEM Dishnetwork lnb where the single port...

    7 1/2 hour install and still nothing

    I feel sorry for the customer because of the sale representative making a sale, but I can relate to the tech. I think all experience techs can relate to what the tech is going through. This is too common for Directv and Dish Network sales partners to mess up, miss inform, and make outrages...

    Neighbor taking satellite signal??

    I would too. After I cut the cable, I would call Directv, and file a complaint on the lazy ass installer who plug the cable to your dish.

    Dish Network Terminates More Retailers

    No, I wasn't bragging or proud of it. This just bring up the time I was working with those retailers. It seems to be prevalent when I see this thread. I didn't think much back then, I was paying my bills and making my customers happy and the owner happy.

    Dish Network Terminates More Retailers

    DNS have a meeting with all the installer about Account flipping. If employees suspect an account flipping, they should call a 1-800 number to turn them in. Then Dish network probably will audit the account. When I did some fulfillment work for a retailer/Dish network sub, the owner flip...

    DirecTV installer: Won't run line using flat coax coupler

    I seen a power 4x8 and a power DPP44 cause the flat cable to catch fire. Flat cable are good on window where you don't need to open and close the window. Putting it on sliding doors have a higher rate of a repeat service call.

    Will installer do a wall mount?

    I do them but our company states we weren't allow to do mounting on brick walls or chimney, other masonry are ok. I think the reason is liability that the bricks might crumble or something.
