Description of service

When I first moved into my current apartment I was moving out of my parents home, where I had lived for my entire life! So, needless to say I was pretty naive when it came to the cost of things! I called up the local Satellite TV company and set up an appointment to get service installed in my new place! I was billed 120 dollars and some change to my first months bill and that included the installation of the actual satellite dish and to run the cable through my apartment. I opted to rent the satellite box and remote for an addition fee per month rather than pay for it straight out.


Review of Service

The gentleman that came out to my apartment was polite and knew his job very well! He managed to install the dish and run the cable in about 20 minutes! I also had a request for him about where to put the satellite dish (due to requests from my landlord) he gladly worked withing my restraints!


Tips

Check around for specials and prices! I did not check out the other services in the area and missed out on some great deals! A lot of times companys will run specials that will allow you to get FREE installation!
