What are the requirnments for working with dishnetwork?

I'm thinking about becoming a satellite installer for dish network or direc tv I've heard rumors about employees having to buy their own cables that go with the satellites is this true? Also how hard is it to install a satellite?|||If you work for dish Network or Directv directly then they provide all the tools and supplies but pay you less.





If you work as an independent installer, you buy all of your equipment and supplies but get paid more per install and it is your own business.

We only work with established installers (have experience and their own equipment)|||Installing isn't all that hard, you just need good training. Dish Network has corporate techs and they are regular hourly employees. DirecTV generally only has subcontractors, so that would mean buying all your own supplies, tools, and such and pay for your own training. Dish Network can be a tough company to work for since their standards are almost impossibly high, so here's the way you get into the business. Get the job with Dish Network (at a corporate installation depot, not a subcontractor), get trained as a corporate tech, work there as long as you can and save up money to buy a work truck, tools, wire and stuff, and pay for about 2 months worth of gas. When you get fired from Dish Network (which will usually happen eventually, even if you're a manager), you will have the money and training you need to get started as a subcontractor. You should be able to find a local subcontracting company for Dish Network and they will welcome you as a former corporate tech with open arms. Then you can work for yourself and make the good money. You could also go subcontract for DirecTV. The equipment installs basically the same as Dish Networks, but DirecTV tends to pay less money per job. Hope this helps.
