Dish Network & DirecTv Apartment Satellite Tv Solutions

Dish Network & DirecTv Apartment Satellite Tv Solutions

I'm enduringly bombarded by asset owners who have been mislead by Dish and DirecTv retailers who quote the wrong message when it comes to installing a shared-satellite-dish solution for their building(s). Many retailers who sell and install independent satellite dishes on balconies have one goal mind, get the dish installed (in anything way will be easiest for them), get the satellite receiver (set top box) activated, and get the heck out of dodge before something breaks down (or the asset owner sees you).

If man calls in with a aid problem, delay and dance around it until they get tired of calling in. Of course, not all retailers fit this description, but most are not excellent to install and serve and apartment community. Yep, I said it!

Is a shared-satellite-dish solution the respond to your problem? It precisely depends on what your question is to begin with. Is your goal to get dishes down? Is your goal to offer more programming choices and attract more residents? possibly you just want to stop denying those residents who continue to ask you why they can't put their own satellite dish up. anything your problem, the solution is not as simple as putting a merge dishes up and hoping for the best.

In many cases, a shared-satellite-dish solution may cause you more problems than you have now. It all boils down to the following:

1. Has your prospective shared-satellite-dish provider/ installer ever designed and installed a victorious shared-dish-system before...or is this their first project? Do you precisely want to be the guinea pig here?

2. What happens when one of your residents has a aid issue at 11pm on a Sunday night?
Do your prospective shared-satellite-dish providers/ installer s have a dedicated call center standing by to address his or her needs?

3. Do they have the capital means to invest in hundreds of 0 to 0 set top boxes in order to accommodate the demand of your property?

4. Do they have the ability to send out a bill for service? Do they accomplish the actual billing and customer aid functions (such as activations, deactivations and programming changes) or is the customer going to receive one bill from Dish Network / DirecTv and some other "access fee" Charge from them?

5. Do they have the ability to bundle Internet aid with satellite Tv service? Cable fellowships can. You can't expect to transition your residents to a new aid provider that offers less than what's currently available.

Shared-satellite-dish solutions do offer some huge benefits, but those benefits will never outweigh the risk of losing residents due to poor customer aid from an under-qualified provider.
Do your due-diligence before proceeding.
