Ok, I think I've got a pretty good bead on how customers, Dish employees and retail installers feel about Sub Contractors. But I'm going to share a story with all of you anyway. Maybe this will give you some insight into our world. I had a really crappy route the other day, 5 service calls and...

I rolled on a New Connect today. 625 and 322 with an extra room mirrored off of Tv2 from 322. The house had never had satellite before. They Had digital cable in every room of the house. Most of the lines were RG-59. There were two attics, one with no access. The majority of the living space...

Alright, I've seen this mentioned before on here, but since I do not work for a retailer I've never really had the oppurtunity to try it(I think it falls under custom work, which we don't really do). If a customer were wanting, lets say, 4 orbitals for 2 dual tuners(maybe 119,110,61.5 and 148)...

I cannot find a website for them. I was told that they were based in Georgia somewhere. If anybody has ever worked for them or dealt with them, I would appreciate any feedback or info. Thanks.

I couldn't find anything on this, but, in all honesty, I didn't look very hard. I've rolled on more than a few jobs that were grounded from the attic.(Ground block mounted in attic, and ground wire ran from attic to exterior ground source, or actually grounded to something in the attic) Also, I...

I figured this site was as good as any to ask about this, given all the tech-types about. Does anyone know of a good sight to download an effective, reasonably priced anti-virus?

I just need some info on the different types of cable that can be used in sat installs. In particular, RG-11. What is the difference from RG-6, and what is it generally used for?

Ok, once again I must prove my inexperience by asking.. How do you program a legacy remote? Is there a code search method?

Do all of you use meters? What kind? How many use BirdDog? I'm using a Channel Master 1008IFD. It's bulky, but fairly accurate, but i'm considering going digital. Does it really matter?

Ok, is there anyway to install a Terk antenna in a system with a dual-tuner if TV2 has already been diplexed? I"ve never installed one of these things and I have a customer who cannot receive locals or distant networks. I figured that once I get the thing hooked up and actually start messing...

Ok, I'm an installer in the Missouri area, have been for almost 2 years. I got into this business to make money, but guess what? I'm not! True, my paychecks are a bit larger than when I was 9-5ing it, but my expenses are through the roof. Gas prices...well, you know. the cost of copper has gone...
