I am happy with them. I have found that their telephone service is pretty good. When a storm took down our dish, they got out here pretty quickly to replace it and did not charge me anything. I am happy with Dish. They are courteous and they seem to have good people on the phone. Their...

Awful experience. When I called after the installer failed to appear, nobody answered the telephone in spite of repeated efforts; only answering machines. Calls were not returned. When I reached them the next day they were not prepared to send another installer for three days.

Satellite TV Service questions, answered by experts

Coax cable connects to your television, modem, or cable box. Look for a female coax connection on these devices. Your coax cable will connect to any of these. The other end of the wire runs to the service connection coming into the house.

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.

Yes, you can remove a satellite dish yourself. Just be sure that you feel confident in the job as it requires you to climb a ladder and work on the roof. As working on the roof can be quite dangerous even for experienced DIYers, it’s recommended that you call in a local satellite dish installer.

Yes, professional installers use weather-resistant materials to protect the dish and cabling from environmental damage.

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.
