Installing satellites. Whose done it as an occupation?

[ThrashO]

A friend of mine is getting me hooked up with a job installing satellites and if anyone has done this before, how does it work? Do you sit around at Dish Network waiting for a job to come in? Do you sit at your house and wait? Do you get paid depending on how many you install, how many the company sells or is it just an hourly job where you get paid whether or not the company sells anything?

From what I hear the pay is about $800-1500 a week, and that would definitely be a welcome change from serving tables where I get at max $600 a week.
