I am the top computer repair pro in the country on another site so don’t be fooled by the low number of reviews. I am an expert in Windows having worked as a top-gun software developer, then network & I/T engineer and finally my passion: a bona fide and credible security expert (having removed over 150 undiscovered viruses). There is only one way to solve problems: do it the *right* way & take all the time and effort needed to do so! My competitors focus on “quick-and-dirty” fooling you into thinking it was “quick-and-clean”. I differ by focusing on an extensive time-consuming checklist & teaching/advising you to become smarter and more self-reliant. The analogy one customer taught me to say was "I play four-dimensional chess while my competitors play tiddly-winks" :- ). Finally, I’m a Christian and profess my faith by giving back to people (usually in distress) blessings I received in my career with the most important thing God enables me to give back: my time & skills (affordably).
"9/29/24 Harry Stein (Stein Solutions) I hope this isnâ t too lengthy, but Harry Stein is so good, he deserves a comprehensive review. Iâ ve been working with Mr. Stein over the phone and on my PC for about 16 years, and he has many times â worked miraclesâ for me. When friends or relatives complain about their PC problems, I tell them about my â computer guruâ who lives in Texas, who I have never met personally, but with whom Iâ ve talked many many times. The following are ways he has helped me, at a very reasonable cost, for which I am very grateful. 1. Mr. Steinâ s training and experience as a forensics sleuth literally combating criminals have made him knowledgeable about all things PC. For example: a. He shares the history of this or that company. (Heâ s been around a while!) b. He clearly names the company that is best at this or that, as well as the â bad guysâ out there who are not really operating with the customer as priority #1 (over $ and the bottom line). As he says, â The bad guys are always ahead of the good guys.â c. He is able and willing to investigate specific companies and vet them for me as to reliability as â trusted publishersâ of software and other business practices. 2. He has helped me with numerous problems Iâ ve had (and still do have) with my primary email provider, sbcglobal.net. For example: a. He t aught me a workaround to start it up when it would fail to boot. b. He can look at highly detailed documentation in different programs to see exactly when specific problems occurred (like crashes), and he figures out why they happened. And then he fixes the problem. c. He keeps a detailed record of the work he has done on my computer and often goes back in his record (which he simultaneously shows me on computer) to see exactly what the previous problem was and what he did to fix it. d. He knows the history of this and many other companies, and knows where the â good guysâ work and where the â bad guysâ work. 3. He has taught me the basics of Gmail, which I started using with my clients because itâ s so much more reliable than my outdated and inept sbcglobal.net program. a. I have a sheet with 20 suggestions he gave me in one session about Gmail (and more sheets with additional suggestions). b. He sends me emails with step-by-step advice on specific problems, complete with screen shots of computer screens with individual items circled and arrows drawn to show where things are or where they should go. 4. He gets on my computer only with my permission to work his magic (which I can watch while he does it if I want to). a. So, if I have time, itâ s fun to watch him do stuff I couldnâ t possibly understand, much less do, myself b. He doesnâ t get distracted by other stuff on my computer or â nose aroundâ in stuff that is really my private business. c. He is very principled, trustworthy, honest, and open. d. He keeps meticulous notes about everything he does in a session on any given date. e. He remembers a ton of details about what he did the last time (weeks or months ago) that he was on my computer. f. He checks his notes to refresh his memory about what he did a year or two or three ago. 5. He vetted and then helped me buy a tower computer for my desk top at a bargain price on Ebay of all places! 6. When billing he gives me a detailed breakdown of everything he did. 7. One time, when I made a mistake and got snookered into a payment of several hundred dollars, he investigated the (fraudulent) company and helped me work my way out of a jam. 8. Did I mention my cell phone problems? I am no techie, and I have an Android phone. Heâ s helped me with a number of issues that have come up there, too. 9. His fee is very fair. Take it from an experienced customer of his, you wonâ t go wrong with Harry Stein and Stein Solutions!"

Yes, you will need to pay an average of around $185 to install your satellite dish and other equipment when signing up for satellite TV service. When you contact a satellite TV company in your area, the representative will discuss everything from your channel options and monthly rate to the upfront cost of the equipment. Depending on how many dishes you need, you could spend as much as $600 for the initial installation, but that’s just a one-time fee.
For customers looking for access to more channel variety and better DVR capability, satellite TV service is absolutely still worth it. When you consider that the cost of cable TV service averages $65 per month, the $70 per month you’d pay for satellite TV seems like an obvious choice, especially since the service is considered superior by most customers. Plus, satellite TV is available in far more areas than cable TV, so it’s not only worthwhile but sometimes the only option for customers in rural areas.
The cost of satellite TV service varies based on the provider you choose, where you live, and the package of channels you purchase, but the average cost is around $70 per month. Most customers pay between $50 and $150 per month for the service. Keep in mind that you’ll also have to pay to install the satellite dish(es) to receive the signal, and the initial equipment averages around $185 per dish, or between $100 and $600, including labor.
The best satellite TV service largely depends on your budget, preferences, and viewing habits. Here are some pros and cons of the most popular services:
DISH Satellite TV: More affordable, wide variety of selections especially for families with children
DIRECTV: Robust “Sports Pack” and bundles with internet and phone service to help you save if you need multiple services
We recommend reaching out to a few satellite TV companies in your area before deciding which is right for you.
