There is a reason why Dish has what is included in a "FREE STANDARD INSTALLATION" printed on the back of the service agreement and what is not. One wall penetration, cable burial up to 50', tripod-mount, etc. A technician will encounter hundreds of different scenarios where a customer will want him to do things that will be outside the scope of a standard install. Can't you just run the line down my chimney? How about mount the dish on the neighbor's tree and run an aerial over to my house? How about running your lines under my driveway with conduit included. You should have no problem mounting the dish on the roof of my three-story home and running the lines to my On-Q panel in my finished basement. I think we all agree that most technicians are fully capable of doing a wallfish. That is not the issue. But at some point, DNS doesn't want their technicians spending an inordinate amount of time performing tasks that are outside the scope of a free install. Especially at the risk of delaying or canceling another install scheduled later in the day. Or possibly risking a damage claim. You'd be amazed how a simple, event-free, wall fish can morph into a damage claim purporting damaged air ducts in the ceiling, a leaky roof that had to be caused from the tech because he was the last one in the attic, a crack in the ceiling of a 80-year old house blamed on the tech, etc. As for subcontractors, as long a DNS or the RSP continues to set a specific amount for the FREE INSTALLATION and will not allow a subcontrator/tech to charge for additional tasks, then you will see techs avoiding all the custom work, such as wallfishes, long burials, customer-requested pole-mounts, etc. More time, more materials, more risk of damage with no additional benefit to the tech. Most techs are professionals that will go above and beyond to accommodate the customer, but don't take our accommodation for stupidity.
