The cost to install a satellite dish averages about $200, but the cost may vary depending on whether you’re purchasing the satellite equipment as part of a satellite TV package. If you’re purchasing a satellite dish and equipment as part of a package, you may pay only a small charge of $20 to $40. On the other hand, the cost of parts and labor to install a satellite dish ranges from $300 to $2,150.

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.
