We are promoting cutting the cord and streaming. So many people in our
area don't like the cable company or don't want dish. We do OTA
installations for $199 and then $99 plus tax for the antenna (this
includes other equipment as well). We are doing probably 5 a month if
not more. We do them stand alone or with our Internet. If someone
installs internet and TV at the same time they get a $50 discount off
the entire install. We have people we do installs for who have an
antenna already, they get a $50 discount for the antenna, so they still
pay $49 plus tax for other accessories.
We will help set up the streaming device and we recommend only streaming
devices with an ethernet port - just too much wireless interference in
DC to use a stick.
Here is the page on our website about cutting the cord:

Here is a website we put together, but have not actively promoted (yet):

We have several areas where we will soon have FTTH or 50Mbps+
Wireless available and feel we are capable of competing against the
cable company on speed/price for Internet service. It seems like some
portion of current cable customer would be resistant to change
without us being able to provide their TV service.
We have been evaluating two IPTV service offerings and just don't
feel like they are going to be profitable or a good business line to
invest in long term. Interested in feedback but between the slim
margins, setup costs, ongoing support, and the transport or transit
that would be required it seems break-even would be a best case. I
know it would probably win us more internet customers but not sure it
would be enough to be worthwhile.
We have done satellite TV sales in the past and I don't want to get
back into that either.
I am curious if any of you are actively marketing or encouraging
streaming to try to make cord cutting part of your sales pitch. We
are even considering giving one of the $30 Roku players along with
installation. I am curious how you are marketing this and how much
support you offer to people on the streaming side. Like most rural
areas we have a large number of not very tech savvy users.
Also curious about installing OTA TV antenna as an additional service
at installation. Anyone doing that and how is that working out?
Thanks
