yep, satellite is going down hillon its install prices. This is due in large to the fact that the installer is usually the 3rd or 4th person to get his hands on the work. The way it is supposed to work is a retailer sells it, takes his profit from the sale, pays the installer the installation credit gived to them by the big boys. The way it really works is, retailer sells job, takes about 15 dollars of the install money, then hands job off to another"installation" company that has too few techs, who in turn, post the work on the web site, another local company with a few trucks takes the work order and hands it to an installer. All along this road each hand takes a few dollars, that is how Direct can give a 100 dollar installation credit to the retailer and the installer may get 65, more often then not its 50 for a single install. If you have your poop wired tight, are good at what you do, and have a good dispatcher, you can pull 1500 a week. Just remember, all the planets have to be in alignment for this to work. Good Luck
