    Makes sense. Dish has installers/service people everywhere. Might as well utilize them to boost revenue.
    Actually they don't. In most places dish contracts other companies to do their install and service work.  Next time you see a "dish" van look closely at the logo on the door. Chances are it will say something like dish by... Here in NY and VT it's dish by Intertech.  I get the pleasure of working with installers from xfinity, dish, dtv, and many other local companies and I must say I normally don't look forward to working with the dish guys. They generally have terrible attitudes and seem like there almost looking for a fight. Oh and they go out of their way to find a reason to not do the install or to do as little as they can get away with. When my customers ask my opinion, dish is always the last I'll recommend. Unless they are cord cutters then I will recommend their sling service. 

    It's been a long while since I was in the know but Dish ran it both ways.  If there were contractors in the area, they'd use them, otherwise they'd run their own trucks.   Servicing a satellite business like theirs mean you have to have a presence everywhere.

    I suspect this is another gimmick by Dish,  in ways, it makes sense,  put their installers to work doing other things to bring in some cash.  I can't imagine that they'd stick with it long term.  Perhaps it does show some desperation with cord cutting.
