No additional modifications are required to the existing DISH Network receivers or wiring. Because the StarBand service sends and receives content via satellite, the dish antenna pointing process may require slightly greater precision. Therefore, a professional installation by a StarBand certified installer is required. The dish antenna must have an unobstructed view of the satellite in order for the service to function, meaning that no buildings, trees, etc. can block the path between your antenna and the satellite located in the southern sky. Depending on where StarBand users live, the dish antenna will be pointed somewhere between the southeast and the southwest horizon at an elevation between 20 and 50 degrees.
First bill includes first two months of service.
For more information, please contact your local DISH Network retailer. Standard Installation includes installation of one StarBand dish antenna, hook-up of one StarBand Model 180 and equipment testing. All prices, packaging and programming subject to change without notice. Local and state sales tax may apply.
