Supply and Demand! The same folks that were doing "cable" are now doing "satellite 'cause someone told them it was "easier" and paid better ( it "used" to). Now you have an abundance of "cable" guys driving down the prices of "sat" guys and even the same "managers" stuck their lazy asses into the Sat Biz ("experienced" managers, most of whom are clueless to how the crap even works). Don't have to , just stick it on a pole and your done! Ya done it to yourselves and has nothing to do with "hacks"! Installing "appliances"? Hmmmmm! Hope the "Maytag" guy doesn't get "piece" rate for service calls!
