Satellite TV Service questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can still get internet without a coax outlet through cellular wireless networks, mobile hotspots, or a satellite internet connection. In the case of a satellite internet connection, your satellite will transmit a signal to your router without a coaxial outlet or fiber optic 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.

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
