Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked about in-home tech support. If you still can't find the answer your looking for, please contact us below.
📡 General Satellite Dish Services
We handle everything related to Bell and Shaw satellite dishes: new installs, realignments, repairs, and full relocations. If your dish isn’t working right, you’re moving to a new place, or just want the job done properly without waiting on a provider, we’re the team that gets it done — cleanly, safely, and to the highest standard.
Because we actually show up — and we do the whole job, not just part of it. Big companies are limited by policies and service areas. We’re not. We handle things their techs won’t, like tricky mount locations, weatherproofing, cleanup, and full cable management. You’re not just getting a quick fix — you’re getting a complete solution, and fast.
Absolutely. We can remove your existing dish, relocate it to your new home, and reinstall it with professional alignment and proper wiring. Everything is neatly set up and tuned for best signal quality — no mess, no guesswork, no hassles.
🔧 Repairs & Fixes
We’ll run a full diagnostic using professional signal meters to pinpoint the problem — whether it’s a misaligned dish, bad cable, or something else. Then we fix it on the spot with parts we carry. Our goal is to get your channels back quickly and make sure the fix holds long-term.
Yes, we specialize in storm and weather-related dish damage. We realign and secure the dish properly so it stays put — even during harsh Ottawa Valley winters. We’ll also check and repair any water-damaged cables or loosened mounts to prevent future issues.
Always. Clean cable runs, secure mounts, waterproofed connections, and no loose wires hanging off your house — that’s our standard. We’ll often fix sloppy work left by other installers and leave things looking better than when we arrived. Details matter, and we don’t skip them.
💰 Installations and Service Calls
Yes… we know Bell and Shaw charge around $75 for a service call 😉. But here’s the deal: their techs won’t touch anything outside of their script, especially older dishes, tough mount locations, or past installs. And that’s if they even show up.
Our service calls start at $280 plus parts — and for that, you get someone who shows up, diagnoses everything properly, and actually fixes the issue. We come equipped to repair, realign, replace cabling, seal connections — the full job, not a patch-up. It’s about quality, reliability, and results.
A full install starts at $580 plus the cost of the dish, wire, mounts, and hardware. This is a top-to-bottom professional job that includes careful placement, perfect alignment, clean cabling, weather protection, and a signal that’s optimized to the max. You’re not just getting a dish put up — you’re getting a system that works and lasts.
Yes, we do rooftop, pole, sidewall, and even custom mounting solutions. Where other techs say “sorry, can’t do that,” we come up with creative, safe ways to get you the best signal. We don’t shy away from hard jobs — in fact, we’re usually the ones called in to fix them.
Yes, we can supply and install everything needed — or we can work with your existing equipment if it’s in good condition. Either way, we make sure it’s installed to professional standards and running perfectly.
🕑 Booking, Service Areas & Support
Most appointments are booked within a week, and sometimes sooner depending on your location. We also offer emergency service if you’re completely out or need it fixed urgently. We try to be as flexible and responsive as possible — you won’t be left hanging.
We cover the entire Ottawa Valley, including Pembroke, Renfrew, Petawawa, Barry’s Bay, Almonte, Perth, Smiths Falls, Eganville, Deep River, Madawaska, Killaloe, Cobden, Golden Lake, Whitewater Region, and even into MRC Pontiac and rural Québec. If you’re within a couple hours of the Ottawa Valley, we likely come to you.
Yes. If you’ve lost signal after a storm or have an urgent situation, we offer emergency and after-hours service when possible. We understand how frustrating downtime can be, especially in remote areas.
💬 Customer Experience
We don’t leave until everything is working — and if anything isn’t right afterward, we come back and make it right. No excuses, no runaround. Our reputation is built on doing the job properly, every time.
Yes, we can walk you through changes in equipment, help with activations, or get things running when the provider gives you the runaround. We’ve worked with their systems for years and know how to get results without the phone chain headache.
Definitely. Whether it’s a rural home, cottage, rental property, or business—we’ve got the tools and know-how to get you set up and running.
