Let's face it, choosing the right A/V gear for your budget and room can be daunting. Let Empirical help you navigate the technology, brands and confusing set-up. We offer room- and budget-specific AV consultation; personal shopper services; video & audio installation, cabling, wire/cord management, set-up & optimization; Logitech Universal Remote programming and, finally, THX® certified TV/projector calibration to SMPTE standards to ensure you're seeing what the director intended.
"Jim is the most professional technically proficient low voltage electrician with an enthusiasm to match. He will help you with your project. I can not stress how helpful, thoughtful and considerate he is. He will explain in detail and review with you , also in detail, what type of work is expected. Whether you have exact specs or need guidance, whether you have a broad budget or narrow scope, Jim has the knowledge to complete the task or even guide you in the right direction. I would like to personally thank him for a complicated ceiling install for a new 11.2.4 system even in a non dedicated AV space. Should I ever begin a much larger dedicated home theater, I whole heartedly will begin and likely obtain his input and guidance on such a project as well. Again , thank you Mr Crilly for exceptional work! Hopefully I can add photos once the rest of project is complete. ?Kyle"

Yes, you will need to pay an average of around $185 to install your satellite dish and other equipment when signing up for satellite TV service. When you contact a satellite TV company in your area, the representative will discuss everything from your channel options and monthly rate to the upfront cost of the equipment. Depending on how many dishes you need, you could spend as much as $600 for the initial installation, but that’s just a one-time fee.
For customers looking for access to more channel variety and better DVR capability, satellite TV service is absolutely still worth it. When you consider that the cost of cable TV service averages $65 per month, the $70 per month you’d pay for satellite TV seems like an obvious choice, especially since the service is considered superior by most customers. Plus, satellite TV is available in far more areas than cable TV, so it’s not only worthwhile but sometimes the only option for customers in rural areas.
The cost of satellite TV service varies based on the provider you choose, where you live, and the package of channels you purchase, but the average cost is around $70 per month. Most customers pay between $50 and $150 per month for the service. Keep in mind that you’ll also have to pay to install the satellite dish(es) to receive the signal, and the initial equipment averages around $185 per dish, or between $100 and $600, including labor.
The best satellite TV service largely depends on your budget, preferences, and viewing habits. Here are some pros and cons of the most popular services:
DISH Satellite TV: More affordable, wide variety of selections especially for families with children
DIRECTV: Robust “Sports Pack” and bundles with internet and phone service to help you save if you need multiple services
We recommend reaching out to a few satellite TV companies in your area before deciding which is right for you.
