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.

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?
