07 About how much might it cost to put a system together?

A home TVRO system once cost as much as $100,000 in 1980! Prices have
dropped substantially since then, of course; a "typical" retail price
home system (dish included) with professional installation could cost
from $1500-$2500 depending on the setup. The good approach these days
is to find a decent used system, as many of these are around; many
people will actually thank you for "ridding them" of their
"antiquated" TVRO system! TVRO systems are NOT antiquated, of
course. Reasonably priced used systems can range from free to
$250-$300 or so.
