IF YOU
CALL ONE OF THE LITTLE DISH COMPANIES DIRECTLY AND THEY SEND THEIR STANDARD
INSTALLERS, YOU MAY BE IN FOR IT
THE BAD INSTALL...
The victim of this
Huntington Beach installation (Pictured below) said that this small dish job was
done by the approved installers in Southern California for one of the
small dish companies).
The representative at the
company that he called, promised this customer that the installation would be
done by 4 PM and the installers did not even arrive until after 5:30 PM.
The customer found our
website and was asking how I could clean up their mess since they did not want
the original installers back. After the customer called the small dish company
and sent them photos, The company agreed to allow this customer to find the
contractor of his choice and they would reimburse him for our fees.
The sad thing is that there
was already a cable path to the main receiver location. If not for their
limitations, the installers could have avoided any cabling through the kitchen
if they would have just climbed a few feet into the attic (apparently against
their policy). I was able to easily internalize all of the cabling in less than
2 hours so all of the visible black cabling could be removed. I also ran the
bedroom cabling inside a wall and provided a wall plate and then vacuumed up the
debris.
These photos were all taken
by the victim after the initial installers left and prior to calling Ground
Control.

Without the required "drip
loop" water would naturally run down the coax and into the hole. |
The installer pushed the
drill out from the inside too hard and caused a blow out and then asked
the customer to sign a damage waiver. |

Inside of Bedroom
This customer stated that
the installers did want to cover up the damage outside the bedroom with a tube
of something but he told them not to mess with it (he'd seen enough). They did
also try to get the customer to sign that there was "no damage caused by
technician" but he refused to do that.
The customer said "As far as the debris, they didn't even offer or indicate that
they were going to clean anything.... that's just the way they left things
when they finished"!
Call us directly, not the
companies that we represent, or you might end up the same way.
If you are already a victim,
give us a call for a quote on internalizing your cabling.
