i tried an install job on the eastern shore of Va. with prices a little better than this. it promised big bucks too....$300.00 a day.....that isn't too bad right now...and would you believe in a week i made an incredible $270.00.....a week.....these prices stink....
> Ive done it all. Started installing cable over 7 years ago, spliced, done mdu, done thousands of groundrods, etc. I have also done every type of satellite except c-band. Why have I done so many different things? because this business fluctuates so much and I like to make 2+ thousand a week. Yes I work my ass off 6 to 7 days a week. Yes I am DAMN good at everything I attempt.
> Anyway, I have never seen better prices than this. 7 years ago I made 7.50 per reconnect and 12.00 for a complete install. Churns paid 3 sh**ty bucks and ao's paid 5. Last I looked (about 9 mo's ago) digital installs paid 28. and Ao's paid NOTHING. Earlier, someone said they could make 300 or 350 with 8 of these installs per day and you can with extras and churns. BUSTIN YOUR ASS! Dont know what you make, bet its nothing like my paychecks.
> > If you sat boys don't have anything productive to add, why don't you keep your trap shut. You need to find or create a site called satbar.(didn't notice it says cablbar?) Anyway, back to the original question, these prices suck and the need to be about 4X that for a sub to make a buck. Your talking about satellite wages now.

> > These are damn good prices - the best I have ever seen. That tells you how fuked up the cable industry is at the install side. Used to be a good living at the construction side of things but thats OLD NEWS now, isnt it. Cable's time has come and gone, we are now seeing the pathetic exit of dinosaur technology.
