I've worked for several companies and myself. Pay would depend on many factors. Do you use your own supplies? Do you use your own truck? I've seen as low as $50.00 an install and $10.00 for additional recievers and I've seen as high as $110.00 an install and $35.00 for additional receivers.
Ive seen anywhere from $70 for 10 hours (2 SD installs and 1 SD upgrade within the 10 hour period) so that averages out to be $7 an hour and as much as $70 for one room and $40 for each additional room.
Two SD installation and one upgrade all for $70.00. Who fix this price and this seems you got ripoff so much.Stargazer said:
I was curious how much they were paying in case I would go all installs. Thats the lowest pay I seen offered. Guess they look for people desperate for jobs. Thats decent pay for around here unless they dont pay for gas and use of vehicle then it aint and I also think you have to use your own vehicle.
Any one here worked for Mountain Satellite or Iron Woods?

That was in California. Average driving distance from job to job is less then 10 miles.
Now I'm in New Hampshire. Job to Job distance is about 20 to 30 miles here, day are short in winter, extereme weather and cold could slow you down so I'm sticking with my Hourly+company van/gas/full benefits deal.
Not to mention there are a tons of trees around here, a lot of No Sights. DTV at 31* and Dish 119 is at 22*.
There is DTV Home service guy out here hireing.
He's paying $100 box install, $25 for additional.
$30 per service call
and $50 for local upgrade.
50% of what every extra job you pick up from customer, wall fish etc.
they chage $75/hr

Sometimes a 10 mile drive is equal to one that is 20 or so if the traffic is bad and it could take longer too.

They work way to hard for what they get paid. I went there to get a job to and i left laughing they offered 11 an hour and work 12 and 14 hour day. and i was making at least 200 in about 4 hours and was done for the day. you had to work so many hours to even make a bonus there.
No wonder why they do a sloppy job as some people complain about on here. I've read where many retailers have had to correct their installations. Do not get me wrong though, I'm sure not all of them are this way.
There are plenty of jobs out there that pay a bit less for even harder work.
