I am a licensed and insured installer. Is it possible to get leads straight from D* for home installs in my area? Or how do I register with other providers to be a contractor?
DTV is cutting down on the number of companies it deals with. They do not want to talk to you unless you have many trucks. Become an affiliate of one of the large DTV resellers and sell what you install.
You can find the HSP for TN and see if you can afford to work for them. You will be paid about $50 per install minus cost of materials and expected to do about 5install/service calls per day and drive a couple hundred miles per day.
