ᐅ What is a realistic price for a satellite system including installation?

Hello everyone,

I would like to get a rough idea of what to expect when installing a satellite dish system.
It will probably be an Astro 85cm (33 inches) dish, just for Astra. A splitter for up to 16 receivers.
Basically, the dish should be mounted, aligned, and the cable routed through the roof, since the splitter will be located in the attic under the roof.
A roof flashing or something similar will also be needed.

What have your experiences or quotes been?
I will handle running the cables from the splitter to the receivers myself.

Are we looking at a total cost of around 500 €, 1500 €, or even more?
I don’t really have a sense for this yet.

Best regards,
Tito

I can think of a few scenarios: workshop, sauna, electric car – but it doesn’t make sense to put it only in the electrical panel. Why not at least install it in the garage?

You don’t connect any devices directly to the fuse box. Just run an appropriate cable outside to the garage, and that’s all you need.

We have an 80cm (31.5 inch) aluminum dish from Dur-Line in anthracite. Unlike the cheap dishes our neighbors have, this one is not supposed to rust... according to our electrician.

It also came with a quad LNB, cabling, sockets, and wall chases. It was mounted using a rafter bracket (I think it was called Herkules). I can’t complain; despite strong winds in our area, I have never had any reception issues.

The total cost was about 600 euros (around 300 euros for materials).

EDIT: Oh yes, I ordered the appropriate roof penetration stone myself (about 60 euros), since we did the entire roofing work ourselves.

I know.
The empty conduit is already in place.
The garage or carport will be built later. Before that, I will probably need a heavy-duty power connection anyway. Done.

They are made of aluminum... which has certain advantages... but aluminum does corrode as well... (though this is irrelevant for the mirror).
