Description of service

I paid for the installation of satellite TV at my home in Pasadena , California . The installation included site survey, assembly of dishes and mounts,grounding of system components, installation of up to 120' RG-6 cable , one wall cable penetration and orientation to DISH Network programming and equipment . I had to pay extra as i had to get cable penetrated through two walls to get to my TV. Although i was told that i would have to pay only $175 for installation but i wasn't told that it did not include taxes so i had to pay extra for taxes and also the wall penetration.


Review of Service

The service received was good as they came to install the dish the day after i had ordered the dish installation. Also they installed all the equipment carefully and i had no damage done to my house or my furniture. The only thing that i wasn't told about were the extra charges i had to incur due to the taxes and the wall penetration. Overall the service was quite good and the installation was smooth and in a matter of 3 hours i was able to sit in front of my TV and watch what was being offered by the dish network.


Tips

I would advise you to ask for the taxes before ordering for the service.Also i wold advise the people to ask for the charges for extra cables , wall penetrations .
