Joined Jul 2, Are you kidding? Of course I don't tip an installer. I do make sure pets are secured, everything is ready Joined Feb 25, Hell no! Even if you get it back as a credit on your bill, you are paying for installation. I think that guy was hinting for a tip, but probably doesn't get tips from anyone. I would have told him, if you are getting below minimum wage and need a tip, find a different employer. Joined Sep 26, I only tip my cable guys if they do me a favor.
If my husband has a special request and they do it I tip them. Joined Mar 29, He was here most of the day and in the heat of the sun so I felt a little bad he had so much work he had to do.
Joined May 21, It was a rainy day in late December and we had a wiring problem that he had to call in to figure out. He was her for hours. He arrived about am and left at lunch time. When we handed him the money we told him to get lunch on us on his way to the next job. Joined Nov 17, No, I don't tip the directv man. He was hired by the company to install and run some wires. He's being paid very well for it. I don't see why I have to pay him extra, when I'm already paying for it.
I'm not against tipping -- when I feel the need. But in today's society, tipping has gotten completely out of hand. I tip mousekeeping, they do a great job and leave towel animals. I tip the trash guy a couple of times a year not necessary, but he goes above and beyond what he's supposed to do. I tip very well in restaurants, I was a waitress and I know how hard it is. I tip the baggage handlers -- I could carry my own suitcases, but I choose to let him, he deserves a little something.
All of our outdoor antennas include an adjustable mast clamp that can be affixed to a variety of masts and mounts. You can purchase one of our antenna mounts if your antenna does not include one. Before installing your antenna on any mount, it's important to check the reception in the location you intend to install the antenna prior to attaching the mount to any surface. All of our antennas are equipped with female "F" type coaxial connectors that integrate with standard RG6 coaxial cable.
Connect the cable to the outlet on the antenna and then feed this cable down to your TV or converter box.
If your coaxial cable run is longer than ft. A preamplifier increases available signal strength and will help overcome challenges including splitters or weak signals.

There may be requirements or codes that restrict the size of your satellite dish or how high you can mount it. Find an appropriate location for your satellite receiver. Look for a clear, southern-facing area with a high vantage spot.
Find coordinates for pointing your dish to get reception. Connect your satellite receiver to the TV as specified in the receiver's manual. Connect both the television and satellite receiver to a power outlet. Turn them both on.
If there is no switch, turn to UHF channel 14 or channel number 65 on cable. Navigate the menu using buttons on the receiver's front panel and the receiver's manual to find the correct azimuth horizontal and elevation vertical coordinates. Determine and survey the dish's exact mounting site. Using the receiver's pointing coordinates, find the mounting site for your dish. Measure the number of feet meters of cable needed to finish the installation.
Start assembling the satellite receiver dish. Bolt or screw in the satellite's plastic or metal reflector to its support arm. This lets you preset the satellite to its correct elevation. Mount the mast, or pole, for the receiver. Multiple options exist for this step depending on where you install the dish roof, hollow wall, on brick or concrete, etc.
Consult the self-installation guide to see instructions and the necessary tools for each option. Make sure the mast is level to get a satellite signal. Use a bubble level to help you determine it is even. Put the satellite receiver dish on its mast. Attach the LNB to the receiver's support arm. Position a grounding block as closely as you can to the place where the dish's cable will run into the house.
Run the receiver dish's cable to the grounding block. The connection to the block binds the dish to an acceptable grounded point in the main building ground, such as an enclosure for electrical service equipment or a metallic service raceway. Run the RG-6 coaxial cable to the back of the receiver inside the house. The RG-6 cable should also be connected to the grounding block.
Make sure a landline phone is off its hook to avoid getting an electric shock from any incoming calls. Connect the receiver to a phone jack with the phone line.
