Yes by all means go with Directv's pros I just followed up on one of their installs, they put the Sensar TV antenna behind the satellite dish so the signal was blocked by the dish's metal surface. They installed an amplified version but didn't connect the power supply for the amplifier,yes they are real pros for TV antenna installation!!!rajincajun said:if you order from directv, you should be able to get a high quality installer to assist you with your antenna. the professionals there deal with installing and servicing every conceivable type of home system. where i work only the top teir guys do the high def work, and we get $25 for the antenna, though it is not enough , you should still receive quality work. one thing about the hsp,, they know where, when, and how to find their installers,there is a lot of accountability. i sir take offense to the blanket label of "hack", many of us are extremely educated, highly trained, professional people. and highly accountable, at least at our hsp
rajincajun said:obviously i did not throw any rocks at any of you "independent" installers, as usual a child must throw a rock because of his/her own shortness. i was merely pointing out ,to a customer, that hsp's do have good techs, there are "hacks" in both hsp and independent. ask D* why they are moving everything in-house, aside from the money, you will hear this word, a lot, accountability. the hsp will rid themselves of anyone who is less than adequate, many of whom come in these rooms and throw rocks at others who are 100% professional and damn good at what they do.
im not an installer at all and I agree... there are some Great folks and sh!tty folks... the one who installed my dish (dish is gone now) system was Top Notch... I tipped him substantially.grydlok said:I couldn't agree with you more. That's from another HSP installer.
