Yo, I just had the best installer today! I have had dish since December, 180 w/locals and HD pak. My installer then did a piss ass job, mounted the superdish on a poll right next to my huge blue spruce tree and left the cable draped across the lawn. (I was at work at the time and my wife was home sick so I couldn't "supervise" his work, neither could she, seeing she was basically bed ridden). I called and bitched then but got nowhere.
When I hear bout the voom channels, I called and setup an appointment to get the 61.5 sat and asked if they could bury the cable from the original install. They said sure, 2 work orders, (1) paid $100 on credit card for second 61.5 dish and (2) to bury wire from crappy original install.
Well the installer came today at 1pm to greet my wife seeing that I get done with work at 3pm. I gave her instructions as to what I wanted done!
He told her he was a bit confused with some of the instructions on the work order and asked to see where the dish was and the receivers. He walked out back and was in disbelief.
To make a long story short, when I got home at 3:20pm, I had my original superdish moved, a new dish 500 (61.5 sat), and DP-44 or DPP44 (whatever it is called) switch installed and mounted on the roof of my detatched garage (this is where I wanted it installed).
I met and greeted the installer, a few stories and beers (yes beers) later I had a complete re-install, new dish, new switch with booster attached behind my 811 to increase the switch power and complete cable bury from my garage to my house. (No I am not telling you his name nor company! )
Now I am up and vooming and have a much better appearance in my yard with the dishes even with a second dish. Can't even tell they are there unless you look for them!
He said he was willing to move the original dish etc because of the piss poor original install that he saw when he got here. The system wasn't even grounded properly.
I tell you, this install is night and day from the original install.
Professional, curtious, and overall great job on his part! Thumbs up to installers like him! :up :up :up
I will post some before/after pics once I find original on my computer and take some of the new install! Just thought I'd share this with all of you!
