Hello everyone,
The electrician has prepared everything for the installation of a satellite system. Now I need to remove one roof tile and mount the satellite dish there. The electrician is asking for about €600 (material, installation, and alignment).
On one hand, I’m reluctant to climb on the roof myself, but on the other hand, it bothers me to pay €600 for this. I can get the dish, LNB, multi-switch, and mast for around €200.
Is it complicated if you’ve never done it before? What do you think, should I avoid doing it myself and have it professionally installed?

Since there are only a few carefully selected professional antenna installers who are familiar with the testing standards, it would be highly unlikely for a non-professional to use connection components with Class H certification and for there to be no proper grounding in place.

I don’t need it anyway, so...
