    Qualified to install DirecTV

    LOL I know a retailer that is still using crimp fittings - there's no indication of a techs skill other than if there's any installer related failures within 3 yrs. all the other "scorecard" and "tests" mean crap imho

    Mike White, Undercover Boss

    If he really wanted to fix whats wrong he's send someone undercover at an HSP or two and see why the number of techs willing to work as an installer is shrinking fast. You can't have a company if no-one is willing to install your product.

    Trouible with DirecTV installed Dish

    Honestly I don't see anything with this install that doesn't happen every day. they did the least amount of work and used the least amount of materials possible. just like the satco's pay the least amount of money! Skilled techs have left or will leave as soon as they find something better -...

    What do I get with conversion to SWM?

    Vacation Home Service

    I think the only reason to notify Directv of relocating to a vacation home is to avoid FCC violations by receiving the wrong locals if the vacation home is in a different DMA Does Directv turn off the locals if its in a motor home?
