Forum

To help consumers with specific installation and service needs, DBS Install now features a Consumer Help Forum. Consumers can interact with satellite technicians to receive the help they need to solve common service related questions.

Satellite Internet Providers

HughesNet and Wildblue are Satellite Internet Providers for high-speed Internet access. Satellite Internet is not the same as DSL or Cable modems. HughesNet Satellite Internet can be used anywhere in the United States. All you need is a clear line of sight to the satellite.

HughesNet has recently built a new network operations center which has increased the upload speed of their satellite internet system and improved latency effects.

WildBlue uses state-of-the-art Ka-band satellites for high speed broadband access using a smaller dish and lower installation profile. With several service packages to choose from, starting as low as 49.99/mo, Wild blue makes broadband access more affordable than ever.

Don't wait any longer waiting on slow dial up. Satellite Internet systems from HughesNet and Wildblue offer fast internet access virtually anywhere in the continental United States.

DIRECTV or DISH Network

DIRECTV or DISH Network? Which satellite TV system has the best programming, promotions and FREE deals? What is a DVR? What about HD TV? Whether you are considering DISH Network or DIRECTV, we have information to help you decide. This year is going to be very exciting for satellite dish owners. DIRECT TV is planning to launch 150 HDTV channels using their new Ka-band satellites and DISH Network continues to roll out their VIP series of MPEG4 HDTV satellite receivers.

Our DIRECTV or DISH Network sections provided channel listing help, receiver reviews and manuals, and search boxes to help you find a local dealer or retailer, or if you prefer you can order from one of our many Online partners.

Do It Yourself Help

Both Dish Network and DIRECTV provide FREE installations for new installations and low cost upgrade labor for existing customers. However, there are still consumers who prefer to do their own installation or upgrades. Many times, the company requires an installer to deliver and install the equipment, but consumers can still do some of the work themselves before the installers arrival. DIRECTV and DISH Network installations requiring coax installation with-in walls (wall-fish), or through tight crawl and attic spaces may not be included in a standard installation. Ground post may also be considered non-standard, and is something most consumers can do themselves, saving between $50 and $100.

Our new, and developing, DIY section can help consumers understand the complexities of installing a Satellite TV or Satellite Internet system and provide some advice for the person who wishes to do their own installation, or only save some money by doing non-standard installation work themselves.

 

To start we recommend the DIY person to read our Consumer Awareness section, and at least glance over our Installation Standards page.
