Down Right Technology

About us

Never call an 800 number for service again! Down Right Satellite has the best reviews, highest ratings, and a service first attitude. Save yourself more than money and become our next life-long customer. Down Right Satellite is geared toward the trade of satellite installation and home theater related services while still providing customers with all the same store bought products and services our competitors offer. An analogy we like to use to describe us is: When you need a water heater you could talk to the sales person at the store who likely has limited knowledge or you can talk to a plumber who has the experience installing and servicing the product in the home. The satellite industry has been cluttered with retailers that have little or no control over their technicians' training or the quality of their work. There is also sometimes a lack of communication and understanding between sales people, the customer, and the technician. Our trained technicians are involved through the entire process from presenting our product, surveying the work site, and going through the sales procedure with the customer in their home which saves time for everyone and allows us to better serve the customer. This is what makes us successful and unique. The owner, Paul Lovisa, began working for Dish Networks' service provider, Blue Sky Satellite, quickly working his way from technician, to team leader, to warehouse manager. He started Down Right Satellite in 2008 in order to start sub-contracting work from local retailers to better use his skills and make more money. He has worked for Dynamite Satellite, Big Dog, Great Plains, EZ-Comm, and others. Paul desired to do his job well and loved helping his customers. Soon he realized he could better serve his customers on his own rather than through the retailers. Association). 10. Technicians are trained and certified by the SBCA and maintain the highest standards. 11. Is looking for long lasting customer relationships. 12. Offers free estimates without commitment.

THE Best option for cutting the cord! Not only can they handle any and all satellite or cable challenges, they?ll get you up and running on an antenna/Over The Air solution in no time flat. Experienced, efficient, intelligent and creative, Down Right Technology is the cord cutter?s best friend in Eastern Iowa. They walked into a really complicatedstallation in my house and handled it well. As a result, I?ve fired both Mediacom and DirectTV, I?m saving more than $100 a month with my Antenna, Roku and Tablo solutions, and I have far more local channels than I ever thought that I?d be able to get in Coralville.

Paul was incredibly responsive to all my phone calls and even tried troubleshooting my problems over the phone to avoid any charges for me. After we decided to make it a home visit, he was very helpful in setting up a time that worked for me, even when we live in Iowa county. He was very knowledgeable and created several different scenarios to save me money with the new equipment that needed to be installed. Recommended I price shop and even stayed till I found the right equipment. Walked me through how to install the new item and even helped me put my house back together. Would hands down recommend this guy to anyone. Very respectful and easy to work with, even if you are not the sharpest in the technological closet.

Paul did a very good job for me. Arrived the very next day after I called and determined if I would have any problem with reception. (I didn't.) He gave me a reasonable estimate and was able to get to my somewhat small job pretty quickly. He stuck around to help me setup a brand new Tivo unit and waited until it was all booted up and working. He was very efficient and knowledgeable. He said to make sure and get in touch with him if I did have any reception issues. I haven't had any problems at all! I would highly recommend.

They came over 2 days before to discuss what I wanted and were very professional.  Wore covers over their shoes to protect my carpet. Verified everything was what I wanted before leaving.  Highly recommend.

They were awesome!  I had a couple of big wiring issues and they came in and figured out exactly what the problem was and how to fix it.  Not only are they knowledgeable, but they are find and personable.

On the day of the installation, they were on time - installed all the receivers in a timely manner - and looked at our internet/phone connection (due to an unrelated issue). He sat down with me and my daughter and explained how the system worked. He was easy to understand and didn't make me feel intimidated by the technology. We have been recommending Down Right Satellite to all of our co-workers and friends.

Very timely, professional and cooperative.  We never felt any sales pressure.  Paul provided the necessary suggestions and the entire process from initial contact to completed installation was only a few days.  I would highly recommend Down Right to anyone .

Fantastic service!  After scheduling 3 different appointments with Direct TV over a one month period and then finally being told that it would be to difficult  for them to install lines were we needed them, we were left with no TV service.  Upon calling Down Right Satellite and explaining the situation to Paul the owner an appointment was scheduled.  After looking throughout our home and thoroughly inspecting it was determined that the lines could be installed with a little work.  Within a week of my first call our TV was set up.  Great Service would recommend to everyone needing satellite service.

It was handled very smoothly and exactly with the speed/efficiency I was expecting.  They arrived right on time, protected my home with suitable tact and care, listened to my concerns and got to work quickly.  They even corrected an issue that I was completely unaware of with my exisiting satellite set-up.  There have been no issues from the work and everything was handled to my satisfaction.

Paul and John came over and after discussing what I wanted in my satellite service, they took a tour of the home and my yard to map out the best plan for routing satellite lines and not disrupting my landscaping or my interior aesthetics.

Their initial visit was on a Friday, and they returned promptly on the following Monday to hook up services.

As the services were being installed, Paul went over all the details of programming, remote control options, and special features (that most people STILL don't know about with their 1-800 service).  The entire time they were highly professional.

As a small business owner myself, I can appreciate the extra hours of service and personal touch you get with DownRight Satellite.  I would recommend them to my friends and family, and I have!!
