Give them a call and ask for their advice before you buy. If you prefer a qualified installer, again make sure you find a reputable one, either from recommendation or by using your local phone book or newspaper, as prices vary greatly and you don't want to be ripped off.

TVRO (Television Receive-Only) refers to satellite dishes used for receiving satellite television signals.

People have satellite dishes to receive television signals from satellites orbiting the Earth. These signals provide access to a wide range of TV channels and programs. Satellite dishes are often used in areas where traditional cable or internet-based TV services are not readily available.
Satellite dishes for television began to gain popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The launch of the first commercial communications satellites, such as the Hughes Communications satellite in 1975, paved the way for direct-to-home (DTH) satellite services. By the mid-1980s, advancements in technology made satellite dishes more accessible to consumers, leading to widespread adoption for television viewing.
