As to Dish cutting pay for its in house I can tell you that that is as far from reality as you can get, many of the in house that I have talked with during the last 2 - 3 years who are FSS 3 - 4 are making upwards of $20 - $24 an hour which was close to where I was at when I left 4 years ago at FSS 3 $19.35hr.
This was a brand new install, the dish is located over an attached garage and I did clear the roof mounting over the garage only due to line of site issues with a neighboring house and several tree's.
To Digi's question yes he did stuff the coax under the entire row of shingles at the drip edge the length of the roof on that side of the house for about 45 - 55 feet. I will be heading into the attic when I get home from school today to check out the roof mount just to be sure its mounted into a roof beam.
As I remember him and I talking there were some conversation points that should have tipped me off to watch what he was doing but as I had said before lack of sleep played a role in my not following him around. For what its worth I have not asked dish for any free this or that, my concern is just to have the system installed right and any damages taken care of, any restitution will be discussed later but right now I want it done right because we are coming into spring thunderstorm season.
Nearly forgot, when I was working for dish I only ever had one time where I did anything remotely like this and it came down to where I had decided to mount a ground block and I can blame it all on fatigue and stress as my wife was about to have a baby. I had learned from the best possible kind of trainer, an at the time retired Army demolitions expert who's lines were so straight they could cut steel and his service loops so perfectly 4 inches in diameter that a micrometer couldn't find a flaw and every clip spaced perfectly apart. I worked hard to make my stuff like his and he was the biggest reason why I took pride in my work over my time with dish.
