Still selling. I can set this up all over the lower 48 states. All I need is a PM with an address to check qualification. Please share with friends and help a small business out. Thank you all !

Good afternoon all. I know there are still some folks out there that still need affordable high speed internet. I have a connection with my Dish distributor to help folks get set up with T-Mobile wireless. If your address qualifies you can get unlimited data plan for a flat fee of 60.00 per month with debit card autopay.
All I need to check for your qualification is a PM to either this page or my personal, is your address. No contact required and 14 day trial period.
I also know there’s still some unhappy DirecTV customers out there. I’ll be happy to handle a swap over to Dish for you too. Just message or give me a call @ 270-885-9452 during business hours for a quote.
Thanks and enjoy the weather.
Oh yeah, here’s a pic of a T-Mobile speed test in Hopkinsville

Good Friday Morning everyone ! It appears Fall is finally in the air.
Just a couple of things to touch upon as I've been slacking in communications lately.
First and foremost for the Dish subscribers that are NOT under contract, the annual $5.00 price increase did just recently hit. Apologies for this but as with all systems and carriers, this is a yearly thing. ( DirecTV is making a SECOND increase in a couple of weeks). Remember , you may call 1-800-333-3474 and ask for the LOYALTY department and negotiate your pricing. It may require agreeing to another commitment term, but if it can save 25-40 bucks per month... hey, it's worth a shot. If you get a rep that's not cooperative, call back the next day. You'll never get the same person twice.
New customer 3 year price lock capability will expire on October 31st but may be honored until November 13th. Basically, should you wish to subscribe before November 13th and be a new customer, I can give the current 3 year price lock with only a 2 year commitment.
I know a great many have left us for streaming Tv as is your option. I would ask that you start watching the pricing of streaming services as they seem to be getting greedy as of late with price increases. Also, e that stream, remember to count the cost of the high speed internet needed to stream. That's an expense as well.
Speaking of internet.... I know fiber is available to a great many but not everyone as of yet. We do still have a partnership with T-Mobile wireless for anyone interested. I mean ANYONE, ANYWHERE in the lower 48 states. I can check availability for anyone that wishes to simply PM me an address. It's hit or miss as more towers are lighting up every day. I confess that I had it and it was great in my area with speeds exceeding 140 Mbps download at my home address but the data pack was limited. I currently have unlimited fiber and NOW the T-Mobile in my area is showing unlimited.. Oh well.... never know. It served it's purpose
Many have asked where I'm located. The Indian Hills office is closed but the contact number for me remains the same and I consider myself semi-retired at the moment. Should you need new service ( DISH 0nly), or repairs, Dish or DirecTV, just call us at 270-885-9452.
Remember, we do RV's , hunting cabins, lakehouses, wall hang TV's with hidden wiring and pre wire new construction. Custom work is something corporate doesn't really like to do so we are happy to take it on.

Have a great weekend all and enjoy this crisp weather.
Many thanks to all my customers, past and present, and awaiting to help more in the future.
Mike

Evening everyone. In case you missed it, my office is no longer in Indian Hills. I have moved what I needed to continue to a home office. This doesn't mean that I've stopped working completely, let's call it semi-retired. It's gonna take a few days to get sorted out after the chaos of the move but I still know where enough stuff is to operate.. Lord help me get organized. Anyway, the number remains the same.. 270-885-9452 should anyone need service , repairs, ( the ones I do that corporate is scared of) and new installations. Yes.. I can do DirecTV repairs also. Thanks to all my loyal customers over the years for their support. Please share this so all will know. As always with any small business.... the customer is why we stay doing what we do and the reason we can do it. Mike
P.S. The business is still for sale.... interested parties just contact me.

08/16/2023

Moving from Navaho Trail location during the next 2 days. Phones and internet may be down during this time. I will be working from home after this transition. The phone number will be the same as always as it's being ported over now. As before, for satellite needs, you may call 270-885-9452 by Friday for help.
Thank you,
Mike

08/09/2023

Good afternoon everyone. Here's the scoop at the moment. I'll be moving from my current location in Indian Hills to working from my home by the end of next week. I have a small couch and a recliner along with an old 25 " console TV that still will work that I'm looking to get rid of. Free to whoever wants or needs them. The couch and recliner are not perfect but they are usable and very comfy. Would be great for a man cave, garage or even the home with a cover on the couch. Use the TV cabinet and make a dog bed or whatever you please. If not gone by mid week of next week, they will hit the curb and any rain will ruin them all. PM me on here or my personal page if interested. Must pickup. No delivery.
Also looking for unhappy DirecTV customers. We still have a $300.00 bounty on qualifying Direct customers willing to make the switch over to Dish . 2 year contract...3 year price lock. I'm not quitting just yet, only moving and slowing down. Thanks to all.

07/25/2023

Afternoon everyone. Just an update. Have had a couple of inquiries from people expressing interest in buying this business but no one seems to want to follow up.
That being said, I will most likely be moving the business to my home during the next few weeks. Hopefully the phone number will stay the same but if not I'll post any changes.
I meant what I said in the ad for the business. It would make a great investment for a younger person wishing to work at it and I'll help train, but I also meant it when I said I was gonna slow down.
Even after it moves to the house, I'll continue to do what I can from there but there will be no walk ins unless it's to pick up a remote or a part.
I also have several excellent DirecTV dishes with LNB and all required switches and power sources that I will sell for reasonable offers. If they don't sell, I'll scrap em. I also have many other assorted dish related parts and accessories that I'll sell at reasonable prices. They will also be scrapped if not sold.
Just putting it out there and letting everyone know upfront.
Have a great week as always.
Thank you ,
Mike

06/28/2023

Good Morning all. It's gonna be a hot one today so be careful if you have to get outside for work or even play.

This may hit a sore spot for some but I have been contacted by GOTW3 ( after cutting ties with them) and they are promising that they have re branded the product and have working units with unlimited data available. They want me back on board but I'm actually using their efforts as leverage for any of the customers I still have out there that are unsatisfied.
Their promise , to me, this morning is that they will be reaching out to MY old customer base in attempts to make everyone happy. They promise to swap out routers that are workable and if you're currently paying the full price ($ 134.99) then you will get unlimited data with the new equipment.
I would ask that IF they do indeed contact any of you and make good on their promises, please let me know how the experience works out for you.
This does NOT mean that I am back with them nor can I do anything about their brand or field calls about poor service. They shut me down after I stopped selling their product which proved to be junk.
I simply would like to know if my attempt for leverage to help you get the improvements happens or not.

As a side note.... Our office will be closed from Friday, June 30 until Wednesday, July 5 for Independence day holiday.
As always, we continue to strive to serve as well as possible with DISH offering a continued 3 year price lock with promotional pricing for new customers. We will also offer a DirecTV "bounty" of a prepaid $300.00 prepaid debit card for switching over to DISH from Direct until October 11 2023. Must credit qualify and have a DirecTV bill no less than 6 months old to upload to receive the card.

Thank you all for your continued support of this LOCAL business and we are here to help if we can.

Enjoy the upcoming holiday and be safe!!
Thank you,
Mike

Would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Diane and Bill MacTavish for participating in the new promotion DTV 2DISH and switching from DirecTV to Dish this morning. Not only do they get newer and better equipment installed and serviced locally, they qualify for a $300.00 prepaid credit card offer from DISH. This was in the Great Oaks area folks.... right where the little dude was door to door selling last week.
Thanks to you both again. Enjoy and holler if you have questions !

05/30/2023

Good Morning all ! It's Tuesday and back to the grind. We have a new promotion for qualifying DirecTV customers. For anyone thinking of switching..... now is a good time.
As always we can be reached @ 270-885-9452 or drop by 112 Navaho Trail in Hopkinsville for a free quote on services.
Have a great day all !

03/22/2023

Great news for my new potential DISH customers that have been patiently waiting for service. The website is back up as of 1:30 this afternoon. I will be able to create new contracts and install for anyone wishing to swap from DirecTV or cable over to Dish. Some of the other systems are still down but with promises of coming back online soon.
Also, on a side note.... people getting new roofs put on from the storm damage... please understand that IF a roofer removes your DirecTV or Dish antenna to do the new roof, even though they may say they can put it back in the same holes, these are precision pointed units and must be aligned properly to work. We can properly replace these antenna for you should you need help. It is, however, a non warrantied repair that will carry a charge to replace. I can guarantee you that if we replace it, you will have no issues with reception or leaks. If the roofer puts it on and it doesn't work, my job will just be harder and will cost more to correct the issue.
This is why I don't do roofing and they don't install satellite antennas. Just a friendly heads up.
Thank you all for your patience and we are back up and running. Just give a call @ 270-885-9452 or drop by @ 112 Navaho Trail in Hopkinsville, KY. for your quote or to place your order.
Thanks,
Mike Cannon

03/15/2023

Potentially great news for my Dish subscribers. Just got word that Dish MAY have all systems back up and running first of next week. It's been tough but maybe they are getting close to a fix. Let's hope so. I have orders backed up 🤦

02/16/2023

Out of office this afternoon. Will return Tuesday at 8 AM. Phones are transferred and calls will be answered. Thanks to all.

02/14/2023

Good afternoon all. Here's to hoping that Spring is on the way.
There's been an increase in us swapping out DirecTV subscribers for Dish lately. Guess the poor customer service and High prices have finally caught up with them.
DISH currently has a 3 year price lock BUT only a 2 year commitment. Our office is local in Hopkinsville and we are there for our customers after the sale. We also have T-Mobile plans available for rural areas ,(where coverage is provided), in plans ranging from 100 GB per month to unlimited in certain areas. Never know how you qualify unless you shoot me an address. We also have the capability to convert customers to T-Mobile cellular services.
Finally, many people have received a mailer that has an offer for a prepaid credit card attached. This is legit and we can honor them as long as they haven't expired. Stay local.... give us a call @ 270-885-9452 or stop by our office @ 112 Navaho Trail in Hopkinsville.
Should you come by and miss me, there will be a number on the door to call. Use it, I'll answer and set up a meeting time.
Have a great week everyone and come on Spring !!!

12/22/2022

Here's to hoping everyone has a Merry Christmas. We are closing the doors as of right now and will return Tuesday December 27, 2022 for a couple of days to tidy the end of year up. Everyone be safe and warm as this cold snap passes through.

12/07/2022

Ok folks... late post here but something worth noting. Gentleman came in today with a mailer for a pre paid 400 dollar mastercard offer if he subscribes to Dish within the alloted time ( expiration date is on the mailer). He had been in before but took this as a sign I guess. Anyway.... anyone getting one of these and wishes to make the change, I can honor it locally at my office and I'll do your installation. Just drop by for a quote or call us at 270-885-9452 during business hours. Thanks and have a great night..
Mike

12/02/2022

Just a PSA before I shut this page down for the night. People that may be losing local channels.. this is due to the fact that your existing equipment is obsolete and will soon be shut down completely . I have heard of no warnings being issued. What this means is if you wish to remain with Dish, your equipment needs to be upgraded to newer technology. Dish may offer to do this for free as is their right to do so... I cannot perform this service completely free of a service call fee which will vary dependent if I am your original retailer or not. The choice ultimately is yours as a consumer. If you wish to have a local retailer perform this upgrade, give me a call and I'll schedule it. Should you choose corporate to do it, no hard feelings.
We are here for the customers. Receivers to be in line for upgrades are the following models: 311,322,625, 622,722,222, and some other later models that are not HD compatible. Be aware and call should you need me. 270-885-9452. Thank you !

11/30/2022

Big shout out to Mike Kingins for his move from mediacom to Dish yesterday. Great work experience and met two very nice ladies as well.
Also today, Thank You to John Berry for calling and inquiring about the T-Mobile wireless internet. You qualify for the unlimited data package for 50 dollars per month.

All I need to check qualifications for this service are phone calls or messages with name and address to check qualifications. There are Lite packages, ranging from 100-300 GB per month, priced differently if your address has sufficient coverage.
Just a phone call away and my Collin's T-Mobile team is swift to respond and give each customer a call to set up service. T-Mobile cell service also available and possible to keep your phones and numbers in most cases. Give us a call .. 270-885-9452.
Thanks to all and have a great day !

11/16/2022

Big thank you to Mike Nosbusch for switching from DirecTV to Dish yesterday. Saved him over 50 dollars per month by switching !

11/16/2022

Many thanks to Pat Groves for the switch from DirecTV to Dish today.
Also thanks for allowing me to get you connected with T-Mobile wireless internet. Holler if you need me.

Mission Broadcasting has pulled more than two dozen local stations from satellite service DirecTV, DirecTV Stream and AT&T U-Verse.

11/02/2022

Afternoon everyone. Hope all are enjoying the nice weather that we have left.
Just a short PSA for everyone that threw fits when Disney took down their channels on Dish a while back, Please follow the link and see that it happens to other providers as well.
https://thedesk.net/2022/10/mission-broadcasting-channels-dropped-directv-stream-u-verse/
Additionally, Mission Broadcasting has taken down their stations on DirecTV and rejected a deal to temporarily restore the channels through the midterm elections. Please use this interactive map to identify impacted areas in your footprint, and work with Retailers to capitalize on this opportunity.

This just shows that it happens to ALL providers.. not just Dish but ALL of them at various times.
For any of the countless DirecTV customers in my area that wish to save money and do business with a LOCAL retailer... just contact us at C&M C & M Stars.. or call for information or set up an appointment time for a quote @ 270-885-9452. Currently running 3 day weeks Tuesday thru Thursday but this can be expanded again if needed. We also offer rural internet options and I have T-Mobile wireless internet packages that I can set up for customers anywhere in the U.S. if they show coverage on the map.
Here's to everyone having a great rest of the week and looking forward to continuing to serve our area.
Thanks for continued support.... Mike

Speedtest on the T-Mobile router at the shop this morning.

10/11/2022

Good afternoon everyone. hope you're enjoying the beautiful fall weather. Be on the lookout for flyers containing offers of a pre paid Mastercard in the mail. Should you be looking to switch to Dish from your current provider, I can honor these flyers at my office !!!!
You do not have to call the 866 or 888 numbers associated with the flyer. The offer is real and I can do it for you ! Simply call me at 270-885-9452 and tell me you have one that has NOT expired and wish to switch and we'll make it happen.
Also on another front...... As per rules and guidelines set by Dish, this office will NOT install on a rental property without expressed written consent from the landlord. Not a verbal OK but written notice must be provided. This is only being courteous to the landlord and protecting the tenant by covering our collective butts.

Everyone have a great rest of the day and remember, i can check maps for T-Mobile internet services as they are offering several data packages with competitive pricing. A phone call to me and I'll set you up for an authorized rep to give you a call to right size your needs. This also puts you in the que for any unlimited slots as they open up in your area.

Thanks everyone for the continued support,
Mike

Attention: If you've ever wanted to own your own business, here's your chance!
Looking for a turnkey business?? --> to include a van, tools, residuals from existing customers, inventory, and 6 month partnership to learn the business. Mike Cannon is looking to retire. He's got a great reputation in the satellite installation business. He's willing to sell to the right person, to include initial training, and a guaranteed 6 month period, ensuring you are solid before he let's you take the reigns. This is a six figure income business for a person who's willing to hustle. Satellite installation is not all this company does. Custom TV wall hanging with hidden wiring, Houseboats, RV's , campers. There are avenues for rural internet solutions as well as cell phone services. The company has access to smart home systems, and security systems as well as over the air antenna installations. This is an INDEPENDENT retailership, so although you must follow certain guidelines, you would also to basically set your own hours and provide a multitude of services that Dish corporate simply don't like to touch. All this on top of a top notch support team via Collins Distribution (equipment provider), as well as the possibility of picking up DirecTV dealership as an added bonus makes this opportunity unlimited in the aspect of earning potential. Message me or call for details if interested. Serious inquiries only. Must be drug free and able to pass a background check. I hate to give it up , but it's time to try to get something out of the golden years.

04/15/2022

We will be closing at 11 am this morning in observance of Good Friday.
