A single TV reconnect should pay the installer around $20 each. If he does 5 sales a day that's an extra $100 a day! That $100 extra a day might not mean much to you, but it does to me. I mean, that should just about take care of you daily fuel expense, lol. It is the "oh, you're already there, so just do this too for free" mentality (and the acceptance of it), that is a major reason for the slave wages cable and Sat. now have.
