Dear Leslie,
We went through the same problem last year.
The total cost was 751.00 for the new satellite location adjustment. The
satellite itself was $101.00, and installation, system calibration, etc... was
650.00.
The reason we went with a smaller separate satellite for that new position was
that we already had a dish with three LNBs, so we would have just been replacing
it with another dish with three LNBs which is much more expensive (I think it
was around $450...). I decided that we should also keep the original one just in
case Dish Network decides to change any channels back to the old position in the
future. Because then we would be back in the same position of having to replace
out a big dish again.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
Rachida

I'm wondering how much others have had to spend to upgrade from existing
Dishnet equipment to receive TV-5 and other programs recently relocated
to a new satellite. This satellite is located at 118.7.
I am told that purchase and installation of the dish and LNB will be
somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 - $800. According to what I can
find on line, we need a Dish 500+ or Dish 1000+ (which are no longer
available) dish with a circular FSS LNB. Checking costs of purchase of
these items, if I understand correctly, they could total under $150. I
would then guess that I'd be charged around $600 for installation. Of
that $600, would I guess that around $200 would be for parts?
