hey homey,

what do you mean??

 

[VIPERS-PIT]

Why did he leave before checking the picture?
Call D* right now and get him back out today!

 

[posstefmikala]

I don't mean all of them Just this particular one I have a friend who also is an installer who had to reinstall my last dish coming over. He also tried to charge me $100 bucks for a splitter.

 

[posstefmikala]

The splitter was a Zimwell WB68 wound up giving him $20 for lunch.
Just going to take it down and barrel the wires. I'm getting the $14 DVR and its supposed to come with a splitter. Hopefully I'll be able to sell this one on ebay.

I don't fully understand what you want.

What type of TV do you have.
What dish is the receiver set on.

 

[posstefmikala]

I have a Samsung 46" DLP I have the reciever set to the AT-9 Dish and am only picking up 101. Installer error he didn't want to put it on my roof told me it would be a extra 200 to put it on my roof. So I will be putting it on my roof at dirctv's expense.

 

[dragon002]

how tall is your roof??? they can only charge 75.00 to use a 40 foot ladder.

damn , this "installer" is something, 100 for the switch, 200 roof mount, did his badge say "installer" or "shakedown artist" LOL

 

[posstefmikala]

I think it was shakedown artist.

 

[posstefmikala]

Well I live in a town house in the front is only two stories the back is three. The kicker is im trying to deal with this and a newborn 2/27 the same day as the install. Fun to say the least.

 

[vurbano]

go stop payment on the check

 

[posstefmikala]

no

 

[posstefmikala]

haven't paid yet I'm on the phone right now with directv

 

[donyoop]

go stop payment on the check

That is the correct thing to do with the downside of going from 0.5 hearts to 0.0001 hearts.

[posstefmikala]

I got it all resolved. Wanted them to give me the install free but I am to tired to argue.

 

[posstefmikala]

I'm still having problems told Directv that I would get my friend to do it. He's one of there techs. They gave me $150.00 for the install and $50.00 for my trouble. Not to shabby but still a little pissed.
