Satellite Broadcast & Communications Association. They certify satellite installers for Dish and DirecTV. It's required for you to be SBCA certified to do any subcontract work for Dish dealers as of 3-31-03, and has been required by DirecTV for Pegasus territory since the middle of last year. They are trying to eliminate the weekend warriors doing installs for retailers and e-tailors.

you need to be certified to point a dish in a direction and get a signal??

Yes, I speak fluent Spanish. The certification is not just pointing the dish, but to have a "propper" instalation. How to ground a system properly as per code, the correct way to mount a dish, (Drywall screws on the top of a doublewide trailer is not correct!)limitations of how long you can reliabily run RG-6, etc. The emphisis is on doing the job professionally, and not taking short cuts.

OH! Help the trailer installers make sure they mount the dish on the railing outside the door. I understand now! I still get a kick from the tree mounted installs.

I saw a house with 6 Dish, 3 Dtv, and 2 KU band antennas on it once. Bet they like their TV, or they are trying to emulate NASA
