How Satellite Television Works
If you've never had a satellite dish, you may be wondering how difficult it is to install. Does it require extra drilling of holes or time for running cables? The reality is that the process is similar to cable television service installation. An installer comes to your home and typically spends one to two hours setting up the satellite dish(es).

- Where you want the satellite dish(es)
- What rooms will receive a satellite television feed
- Whether you want extra satellite dish service in a den or office
