Installation services
Dr.Sat provides professional installation of all types of satellite dish and OTA antenna systems. We use an advanced portable electronic meter to confirm proper alignment directly at the antenna outside in order to maximize your signal strength. We also will ensure the satellite dish or antenna is installed at a location where it has a perfect line of site during all seasons!

Important note: Your installation may start at any time during the scheduled appointment window and may take several hours to complete. We strongly recommend NOT scheduling an installation appointment if you are unavailable after the appointment window as certain installations may take more time to complete than anticipated. We at Dr. Sat strive for perfection and appreciate not getting rushed in completing an installation.

- Rental properties might require written permission from the landlord
