"I am very happy with Dish. The price is comparable to anybody else. I have never checked the price of anyone else. The only other ones to compete there would be satellite dishes as part of the island is not even wired for cable. The quality of the service is good."

"I am very pleased with my new antenna. Orbital Union Telecommunications not only did an excellent job installing my antenna at a great price but they also spend the time to connect my digital boxes and aligned my antenna to get max reception. The installers were very friendly and a pleasure to have in my home. I feel that Orbital Union Telecommunications went the extra mile to insure that I was happy with their work. I rarely find this level of customer concern from a company any more. To be honest I was treated more like a long time friend then a customer."

FAQs for satellite dish system service projects in Philadelphia, PA

Homeowners bear the responsibility for satellite dish removal. When you cancel your TV service, most providers collect their interior equipment, like receivers, but leave the exterior dish mounted on your property. If you're renting, review your lease agreement carefully, as some landlords prohibit dish installation entirely or require removal before moving out. The physical dish remains the homeowner's responsibility unless specific arrangements are made with the service provider.

Most satellite dish removals don't require an electrician since the systems operate on low-voltage connections that don't present significant electrical hazards. Handymen, roofers, or satellite installation technicians can handle standard removals. However, an electrician might be appropriate if your system involves complex wiring integrated with your home's electrical system or if internal wiring repairs are needed. Specialized satellite technicians or general contractors are often sufficient for standard exterior dish removal.

Professional satellite dish removal requires one to two hours for standard installations. This timeframe includes disconnecting cables, removing mounting hardware, patching holes, and cleaning the work area. More complex scenarios—like dishes on steep roofs, multiple installation points, or extensive wiring—may extend this timeline. DIY removal takes longer, particularly for inexperienced homeowners who might spend several hours ensuring safe work practices and proper disposal.

Some satellite service providers will remove their equipment at no charge when you cancel service, though this practice varies by company. Contact your provider directly when canceling to inquire about removal options. Another potential avenue for free removal is when switching to a new provider—the incoming company might include old equipment removal as part of their installation package. Always clarify what's included in any "free" removal offer, particularly regarding patching and repair work that might be necessary after the dish is gone.
