> I agree with your assessment of the cable industry, there r alot of primes screwing the subs unfortunately. There is still good money in sat installs, especially in extras!!! Now that most companies want tech's to be certified, there will be a few less people out there that do sh**ty work. I have seen quite a few "prof jobs" that looked like the homeowners did it. DTV is now starting to do Chargebacks on installs that r not installed properly and a customer has complained about. And there r always companies out there trying to bring the cost down, had one company offer me $30 for an install with me suppling materials. I had to call them and verify that they posted the correct price. Needless to say, u know what I told them they could do with those prices.
