Only if you're buying a multi-sat dish and then only if you buy retail.

Multi-sat dish at Radio Shack: $150

Round dish at Radio Shack: $50
»www.radioshack.com/product.asp?c···6%2D2608

Multi-sat dish on eBay: $100
»cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi···44041649

Round dish on eBay: $30
»cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi···43655216

Just a couple of examples. Most have round dishes, though it still adds up if stolen multiple times.

I paid $60 for dish and receiver. I declined the free install.

It has paid for itself already.
