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.

Professionals ensure proper dish alignment, secure mounting, and troubleshooting for the best signal reception.

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. 

Installation costs typically range from $150 to $600, depending on dish size, mounting location, and required cabling. Custom setups or multiple receivers may increase costs.
