Satellite TV Service questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on dish size, labor, mounting complexity, and additional receivers or signal boosters required.

Most people install satellite dishes on the roof so its path is unobstructed by trees, branches or buildings. However, a spot on a garage, deck, patio, or on the ground that has nothing blocking the dish will also work. The dish must be able to withstand extreme weather conditions without falling over or tilting the dish out of the optimal angle offset.

Installing a satellite dish can take a professional installation technician up to five hours. The technician typically surveys the property first to determine the optimal location for your dish. Then, the tech installs the dish and runs cable to allow the homeowner to easily connect TVs to the satellite signal. Installation usually does not include moving furniture or connecting TVs to the satellite cable.

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.

A satellite dish should face south with a view unobstructed by trees, branches, leaves, buildings, or other structures or objects. The optimal angle offset is between 22.3 degrees and 17.3 degrees. Any more or less of an angle can disrupt or disconnect the cable signal from the satellite sources to the south. The dish should be tightly secured to the metal rod or structure so that weather doesn’t cause it to tip or tilt out of the optimal angle offset.
